Overview
The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987)
A fad of the mid-1980s, Garbage Pail Kids were a trading card set that lampooned Cabbage Patch Kids, itself a fad, with light gross-out humor. At the height of lawsuits between the Garbage Pail and Cabbage Patch Kids, the Topps Company who made the GPK trading cards pumped out a movie to capitalize on their flashing popularity. Almost universally poorly reviewed and famous for being perhaps the worst kids movie ever made, The Garbage Pail Kids Movie and its 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes definitely feels like a film made by a company that makes baseball cards not films, putting it in the so-bad-it’s-good category.
