Gingerdead Man Review

Movie starts with Gary Busey killing everyone in a diner and stealing some money. I never knew bakery owners are aggressive and stupid people carrying knives. Well that's the impression Sarah's (main character) dad left me with. He gets what he deserves anyway as Busey aka Millard fills him with led. Next one meeting his creator is Sarah's brother who has a moronic need to try and persuade a killer madman to lower his gun. Eventually Millard does lower it but who cares as long as there is a spare knife. Sarah's little bro is now meat pie. For an unknown reason Sarah lives on and a few years later we find out Millard was executed thanks to her. She, a moron named Brick, her drunk retarted mother and another girl try their best to keep a crappy bakery alive and running. Off course there is evil competition that wants to shut them down. Would be a good thing actually since the kitchen looks really nasty and dirty. Things start off as a mysterious person in a black hood delivers gingerbread seasoning. Guess what? It's actually Millard's ashes in there and as Brick accidentally cuts himself some blood flows in. What we get is a perfect mixture for a killer gingerbread man.

Anus. Oops! I meant to say Amos, a pierced moron who thinks he's very cool but his dressing style says otherwise. He is Sarah's future love and with these romantic scenes one wonders if this is all actually a disguise for a romantic comedy. Well I've seen worse stuff so never mind. Once the gingerbread Millard gets cooked all mayhem breaks loose. Not in a way I hoped but still good stuff. His laughing is adorable and cute, especially before he cuts mommy's finger off. Stupid hag found him very cute and wanted too touch. Bad idea! Pop goes the finger.

For being so small it is really astounding how Millard is able to do so many wacky stuff. Like covering a stupid girl with cold cake cream and putting cherries on top of her breasts. Awesome. Not to mention he is able to drive a car and shoot from a gun that's bigger than himself. I have to admit, Millard is one cool bad guy and I honestly cheered for him. But the ending just sucks. Brick eats gingerman's head and Millard possesses his body. Talking about a stupid end for a cool killer. And yeah they throw Brick in the oven and kill 2 flies with one shot. Brick deserved it more than Millard, that's for certain.

Jimmy is planning on opening a big bakery right across the street and wants Sarah to sell theirs. Fact is, Jimmy has a repulsive accent besides his demonic acting. And yet he's far better in that field than his daughter Lorna. This is a typical slasher film money driven whore (maybe a little too typical) that just begs to die. And she does with a knife straight in her head. Ouch! Jimmy also gets it by Millard as he shows him how a gingerbread man is good at driving. Got to return to Brick for a second. He is an amateur wrestling fanatic calling himself the "butcher baker". Guy sucks big time. I'd really like to pull out his intestines through his nose but HEY that's just me. Bet someone likes him.

What's the story behind the mysterious cloaked figure bringing gingerbread seasoning? We are never told. Very "spooky". But not as scary as Sarah's recollection of her sixth birthday party when Anus (I couldn't help it) kissed her! Oh my god I almost soiled my pants.

So what are the redeeming features of this movie? Basically just Millard and his crazy actions. And the problem is he's not in the movie enough. But besides this drawback this is still an entertaining and mostly funny flick. Nothing special but not bad at all. See for yourself how a bakery REALLY looks like - *ehm* a huge demolished uncleaned toilet without the paper.
