Toys
“Laughter is a state of mind.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 58, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A playful inventor fights to stop his uncle turning a toy factory into a weapons business. Barry Levinson surrounds the fable with remarkable sets that sometimes overwhelm the people inside them. Robin Williams leads a visually ambitious oddity whose childlike whimsy and military satire fit together unevenly.
