cricketbat Review of My Pet Monster

My Pet Monster (1986 Video)

My Pet Monster should be put down, but I have too much nostalgia for it

[6/10 · 13 August 2020]

I used to watch this corny mess a lot as a kid. I didn't realize how much, though, until I watched it as an adult and realized I could still quote lines word-for-word. My Pet Monster was quickly and cheaply made to capitalize on a popular toy, and it shows, and yet the nostalgia in me is so strong that I can't hate the awful special effects and nonsensical plot. If you liked this movie as a kid, you may still like it now. If you didn't see it as a child, you'll probably want to skip My Pet Monster.
