Best Worst Movie I love you! That was my reaction as the credit’s to this documentary were rolling. I actually had tears in my eyes, more then once during the course of this film. I don’t think I have been moved by a film recently as much as this one did. I laughed, I cried, I yelled at the screen! So what exactly is Best Worst Movie about, and why is it so awesome? Well read my review to find out!

Best Worst Movie is a documentary about the film Troll 2, which has been known as the worst movie ever made. Troll 2 is a film about vegan goblins, they turn humans into plantation in order to eat them. There aren’t any trolls in the film, and distributors only named it Troll 2 for marketing purposes. Best Worst Movie follows the cult phenomenon of Troll 2, and catches up with the cast and some of the crew. The film was made by Michael Stephenson who played the main character of Joshua in Troll 2 (he pissed on hospitality). For the most part we tag along with Dr. George Hardy (he played the Dad in Troll 2), since the film he has become a dentist. We see how people react to Troll 2, and how successful screenings of the film are.

This just reminded me of amazing Troll 2 really is, and why it is now one of my all time favourite films. It was just so amazing to see what had happened to most of the cast, and how they really felt about being in the film. The reactions they had made me laugh and cry, I was so moved. Especially when we are shown how they interact with the fans, and just how awesome Troll 2 fans are. George Hardy was just such a pleasure to watch, does this man ever not have a smile on his face? I think I wanted to hug him the entire time. Oh Claudio Fragasso, what an amazing man. He legitimately thinks he made a great film, and has no idea why anyone would think it is bad. I can certainly see that, it was just so awesome to see him directing the actors again. They visited the filming locations and reenacted their scenes. I was in stitched as George and Michael did the ‘don’t piss on hospitality’ scene. It just made me want to tighten my belt, to avoid those hunger pains.

This film is so delightful, everyone has their charms, as well as their opinions. If you have ever wanted to find out more about Troll 2, this is your chance. Michael Stephenson is a talented man, he has crafted something so special, even magical. It says a lot when a film like this can be so entertaining and so moving, someone certainly did something right! I was grateful to hear from people like Claudio and Rossella Drudi (who wrote the screen play). I always knew there was some kind of agenda with vegans, and Rossella confirmed that, I think I jumped up and down during that scene! More then anything now I want to host my own Troll 2 party, I can’t imagine anything more awesome then introducing this film to people who have not seen it before.

Whether you like Troll 2 or not (even if you haven’t seen it), there is something you will get out of Best Worst Film. I can’t recommend this enough, and I hope more and more people check this gem out. You certainly will not regret it! I’d like to take the time to thank Michael for this fantastic film, as well as the cast of Troll 2. You all entertain me on a regular basis with Troll 2, it is a film I can watch and no matter what it will cheer me right up again. Best Worst Movie you are the best, see it now people!

Troll 2 fans, you can check out the audio commentary I recorded as part of Super Podcast, click HERE. I would also like to send a big hello and a big hug to my new friend Deborah Reed who played the Gobin Queen in Troll 2. While not really featured in Best Worst Movie, during the course of watching it I couldn’t help but wonder what she thought about it. Again cheers everyone, this rocks so much!
