Patch Town

If you grew up in the early 80s, you may recall the popular children's toy, the Cabbage Patch Kids. This film creatively transforms a classic children's toy from a sense of innocence to a sense of deception and manipulation. It has elements of Tim Burton's eccentric style with a totalitarianism system. I thoroughly enjoyed the dark humor, quirkiness, visual effects, and musical aspects of this film. Also, I was impressed with the camera angle and movements. This film has moments that are heartwarming and heartbreaking, but it is balanced out by applying humor from it. The audience will be drawn to certain characters in the film, where each character has a unique personality. All-in-all, I recommend this film to others. It's fun and entertaining. Let the imagination fly !

This is a very weird movie indeed. The humor and tone is kind of all over the place. Someone compared it a bit to early Gilliam and they might not be off too much. While this is uneven, it still delivers many times. It's kind of amazing and has great ideas. Those help recover some of the rough patches that lie on the way ahead (no pun intended), so that the viewer won't mind too much.

The effects are good, but you have to like the way the characters are made of course (Tim Burton was mentioned too in that commentary by another user). While its a wild story, it still is predictable enough and does include clichés. That's the uneven part for you, like it or hate it

This is absolute must watch! I always enjoy films that offer something different, and this one certainly delivers it in a truly fantastic way!

I really enjoyed all that the actors had to offer, a lot of heart and humor in this one.I'm a huge fan of Zoie Palmer and her part, she plays perfectly. She always finds a way to pull you in more emotionally. Julian Richings delivers quite the performance in his role, and the way he said a few of his lines made me laugh in that darkly funny way.

I loved the back story on how it all came to be, and honestly this movie is way better than I initially thought. I don't want to give anything away, although if you had cabbage patch dolls as I did, you may never look at them the same, lol.

It's certainly a movie that draws you in. I watched it on Netflix but will definitely buy the DVD off of Amazon too.

Had amazing time watching Patchtown !

A movie which mix all kind of genres in one, and so hard to put in a "case genre" thanks to the diversity it offers. It's kind of a musical tale but dark, and in the same time touching, and with a lot of humors ! Your feelings are never settled and challenged during the whole movie and I loved that :)

Being a huge fan of Zoie Palmer, I bought and wanted watch this movie, first of all for her. She offers us again here an other side of her huge talent with the incredible performance as Bethany. And if I knew a bit some of the others actors, I discovered better in this movie their work, and discovered new ones too. Rob Ramsey is indeed so amazing and so touching (also what a singer !) as Jon, as Julian R. just brilliant .., and Suresh John made me laugh out loud whit the hilarious Sly :) And sooo happy to see the wonderful Allana H. in the cast too ! Well, just a big Bravo to the whole actors, team, crew, on the amazing movie there which is Patchtown !!

To watch and re-watch !
