Best Worst Movie (2009)
BEST WORST MOVIE (2009) ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Michael Stephenson
A documentary in which the cast members of "Troll 2" reconnect 18 years later to celebrate (or cash in on) what some experts consider the worst film of all time. They cover a wide range, from the grandstanding dentist who played the dad, to the delusional recluse who played the mom, to the still-aspiring actress who played their daughter and can't get work now because her resume includes "Troll 2". It's a revealing group portrait, funny, affectionate and a little sad, directed by the guy who as a young boy played the kid who saw the goblins. If you want to find out just how bad a movie can be, see "Troll 2". If you want to know what happened to the people who made it that way, including the guy who played his part in the film on a day pass from a mental institution, see "Best Worst Movie".
