Directed by Joe Dante
My rating: 2 stars out of 4

I suppose this looked good on paper, but the final result is a hollow rehash of Dante's own Gremlins series. This time around, instead of cute little monsters we get gung-ho military action figures who are at war with some cute alien action figures. They terrorize a kid and his wannabe girlfriend Kirsten Dunst, their teenage romance completely lacking in credibility or chemistry. Dante goes for the big, crowd-pleasing scenes with dumb humor, obnoxious musical numbers and supporting roles by trendy SNL veterans. I'm a big fan of Dante's earlier works, but this one was a huge disappointment.
