Featured reviews
This is one of the worst films i have ever seen! I was so unfortunate to watch it on one boring afternoon on cinemax. I almost threw up. This is supposed to be a kids movie. Munchie totally screwed over that kid. He gave them twenty-thousand counterfeit dollars and he said his mom would get a new job. Yeah right..., we will never know what that lil b**tard is up to. He is friggin evil.
I would like to start off by saying that I don't believe that most adults would enjoy this film and is also the reason why you see that the majority of the people who rate it here have gave it a bad rating. It is simple, this is a movie that only a kid or a kid at heart would enjoy. Now the movie came out before I was born and so I almost didn't get a chance to see it at all and then I caught it along with the first one which was actually even better on TV when I was around 10 or 11 years old. I have seen them both a couple times since and only recently watched them both again for the first time in a couple years. Even now at 15 years old I still find the films magical. I don't know why but it kind of reminds me of being a little kid still and I find that a good feeling to have. So I recommend to anyone young or young at heart to check both of these movies out.
Terrible story, poor acting and no humour at all (apart from the final joke at the end)
Some sort of ugly angel is sent to earth to save a boy and his mum from being thrown out of their home. Supposed to be a kiddies movie, but even they will not be amused by this terrible film

I saw this movie, and at times, I was unnerved believing this movie 'saw me.' Munchie sullies the 'farce' for years to come. Re-watch Star Wars, Don't-watch Munchie.
As a responsible parent (I'm speaking to those who are parents now), I (you) would not let my (your) child ever partake of this video festival of the pseudo-occult. To insinuate Munchie is satanic, to a co-viewer, is likely to illicit a chilled 'duh.' He is fiendish, alien, rodential, and wholly malevolent - like the Bogey man made flesh, invisible to adults, tempting children with lifestyles they could never afford (without the income made possible by years of self denial and prudent stewardship). He is a peddler of easy answers, and false ideals. He is everything the morally conscious viewer is not. He is the devil's own Ron Popeil.
I pray (I mean this literally and figuratively, with an emphasis on the former) that this movie has not made the format jump to DVD. It is my hope that this type of 'yellow film making' died an un-mourned death in the cold nights of 1994.
Munchie also loves pizza. I forgot to mention that. It comes up a lot.

I don't care how cheesy this is, or how bad the special-effects are. This rules. I'm 19 years old and I love it. I mean, PG movies like this are few and far between. And even though Trenton Knight acts the same in all of his movies, he puts a little bit of spirit into it. Oh, and Jim Wynorski. Now he usually does the "babes, boobs, and belly laughs" formula, but this time that's left out. Don't worry, Munchie's goofy dialogue will make up for that. The baseball and Death Race 2000 sequences are best, but the ending is only fair. If you skip this goodie, you don't know what you're missing...
