Ignore Paul Kersey Jr., he’s just trolling the reviews
Perhaps it was the build up for watching this documentary, but I found it to be the most enjoyable movie I’ve watched all year. I was reviewing the list of movies on display at the Sacramento Film Festival and I stumbled across the synopsis for this movie. I had vague recollections of Troll, but I couldn’t really remember watching Troll 2. I recruited a few friends to watch the documentary since they’d heard of Troll 2 from some documentary about the worst movies ever filmed.Three hours before the documentary was set to start, we gathered at my house with some chips and beers and set out to watch Troll 2. One friend had to switch to hard liquor to handle the outlandishly bad scenes in the movie, but the rest of us found the movie very watchable. It’s like watching a train wreck at a high school talent show. You get a gut-wrenching feeling from watching these people make asses out of themselves, but you can’t help but love their performance.
Anyway, we finished Troll 2 and we all agreed that there were several parts of the movie we’d love to have explained. That’s where the documentary came in. It’s like having an audio commentary extra from a special edition DVD, except you have to go to the local indie theater to watch it.
I don’t know what the hell that one reviewer was writing about, but out of the 25 people who were in the small theater, at least 15 of them were constantly bursting into fits of laughter. The documentary is genuinely funny and I don’t think people should watch it as a serious film… since it’s about the worst movie ever. It’d make no sense.
One of my friends that went to the theater with us did so without watching Troll 2. After the documentary, he insisted that we watch the Troll 2 again that night, which we did. After watching the documentary, it’s hard not to like Troll 2 since you now know the people that played the characters. It’s comforting to know that they’re as embarrassed about some of their scenes as you were for them.
loving and revealing, but disappointingly episodic
In which the wholesome child actor at the fulcrum of the awesomely cruddy “Troll 2” constructs a documentary around the timeless question of how the hell the movie happened in the first place, and what cultural aftermath lay strewn in its wake. Repeated theatrical revivals of this direct-to-video nonpareil leave its jes-folks stars grinning in utter incomprehension at its rabid cult, and its asocial creep director wondering why everyone is laughing at the serious parts. There’s a lot of fun to be had in watching the actors – who are basically normal everyday crazy people, two decades out of the limelight – engage with the phenomenon that this film has become, and starstruck dentist George Hardy is a nice focal point for the project. Unfortunately the film struggles to interweave his story with the other, equally endearing characters . Grandpa Robert Ormsby and the profoundly weird Don Packard could carry whole subplots by themselves, but their interjections are disappointingly episodic and incidental to Hardy’s through line; surely the film could have provided a better balance. And whenever things list toward ‘montage’ the movie dies a little. But the subject matter carries it, and without giving away too much of the source material either; not that the magic of ‘Troll 2’ could ever be dissipated by a mere documentary.
