Black Friday
“They have no idea what tonight has in-store.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 58, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Toy-store employees face holiday shoppers infected by something considerably worse than bargain fever. Bruce Campbell and Devon Sawa bring familiar genre charm to an exceptionally hostile shift. The practical creatures are appealing, but the satire and action stop short of the chaos the premise promises.
