Benny Loves You
“Don't throw him out.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 69, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Throwing away a childhood toy proves much harder when the toy can pursue the matter personally. Benny's cheery phrases acquire increasingly sinister meanings as he protects his owner's wounded ego. This deliberate killer-doll comedy gives arrested development a cuddly face and an alarming body count.
