    Yup, it was terrible. I never watched this when I was a kid but I figured I needed to see it just once considering I was a Garbage Pail Kid for Halloween (Michelle Muck!) when I was little.

    In terms of nostalgia and being confusingly terrible, this film can be a delight to watch. The characters are gross, in movie terms, they don't even begin to reach the sickening heights of the cards. They are also pretty much the same which gets dull. The kids look great but thei...( read more)r just isn't enough movement in their faces to realy connect with them. The plot is simply bizarre, with the kids designing clothes for a fashion show. It was refreshing to see the girl of the young protagonists dreams turn out to be a bitch and there not being another girl for him to turn to. With 20 year old bullies being attractive to girls by beating up 14 year olds and lines like "Suck a rope" this is only for those that remember the cards.
