Benny Loves You

Benny Loves You is not good. It's simple, stupid, full of grisly gore, and ludicrous gags. Which is to say, it's a pretty good Midnight Movie watch, the kind of thing best appreciated when you're burned out, buzzed, or flat-out high.

The third act loses its dark whimsy, but this no-budget romp can't be contained.

A stuffed toy killing people is pretty funny initially, and Holt's screenplay is generally content to coast on that surface idea. There are only so many times the sight of Benny wielding a weapon is entertaining.
