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

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.

The children's play thing that you could buy at Toys r Us for like $15, is a better special effect, then this animatronic chuckie cheese nightmare!?!?!

I saw this movie once and I thought is was good, but I just recently saw this movie and WOW now I know how bad this is.

The biggest problem I have is that it's about a boy who becomes a monster. That's a problem because it's called My Pet Monster, NOT A boy who became a monster. On top of that, it suffers from lazy writing, lazy directing, lazy animatronics and lazy editing.

Also, the movie has a very VERY creepy ending that ends on a cliffhanger, with no spin off show or a sequel, so long story short, its like the director is basically telling us that you have wasted an hour on a really bad movie.

All an all, the movie is bad, but not the worst thing i've seen.

Trivia
Despite popular belief, this is not a movie based on the cartoon series, it's the other way around. The movie went into development in 1985 and was released in 1986 with an intention of leading into a live action series. Instead it became a cartoon series in 1987 but did not follow the origins of the movie. Instead of Max becoming a monster, the main character became Monzi, a small cute and friendly monster from another dimension who befriends a boy named Max and his friends.
