Review – Troll

This is likely to be the cleverest movie Empire Pictures ever made, not that that’s a real high bar to leap. A youth by the now-unlikely name of Harry Potter discovers that his sister has been replaced by a troll bent on turning first their apartment building and then the whole world into a vine-intensive fairyland. Before the drama concludes, Sonny Bono, Gary “Andy from WKRP” Sandy and a vertically-differently-abled professor have all been transformed into rubber monster puppets, Julia Louis-Dreyfus has been transformed into a scantily-clad wood nymph, and June Lockhart has been transformed into Anne Lockhart. Oddly enough, the script and acting weren’t really all that bad. The only show-killers here are the cheap-ass puppets. Mildly amusing
