Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Prismark10 Turkey Hollow is a Lifetime movie that has been Disneyfied with the help of Jim Henson's muppet like creatures and an unfinished story ideas from him.Whimsically narrated by Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges, it tells the story of a newly divorced dad who takes his two kids for a vacation at his quirky aunt's organic farm in Hollow Hoodoo which is famed for having a mythical monster in the woods.One of the children upsets the neighbouring farmer by letting his factory farmed turkeys loose and he demands compensation or the deeds of the aunt's farm.This is a silly but enjoyable film aimed at kids. The puppet monsters maybe turn up a little too late, the bad guy and his henchmen maybe play it a bit too broad. Taken at the right spirit it is mildly enjoyable.
sugarpickledesigns Great movie for the whole family to watch. Its light enough not to scare the younger ones but has enough mystery and a story line to keep the older kids and parents attention. Makes the perfect fall Friday family movie night! Our kids are 3, 4 and 7 years old and it held their attention that they have watched it twice this fall so far. The Henson creatures are done very well they may seem a little frighting at first but soon become something none of our kids feared or had nightmares about. Which is something we have encountered in the past with other family friendly movies. Nice to have another movie the whole family can enjoy that is not animated. Some movies tend to be a little scary for the younger ones who want to be part of family movie night, but this one is the perfect mix of fun scary that is not scary.
onehandhailingataxicab First things first, this is definitely a kids movie, but it's a kids movie that Moms and Dads will find themselves snickering at. I ended up seeing this movie twice over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, and appreciated it even more the second time. There are some slapstick moments for the kids, but there are also some very sophisticated one- liners sure to go over the younger heads. Mary Steenburgen is great as usual, and I especially enjoyed her flirtation with the Sheriff. Of course the Monsters are the star of the show. They're ugly and adorable at the same time, and they have fantastic interplay with the child stars. Some of the special effects toward the end are a little cheesy, but overall the movie looks great, with a beautiful forest setting. I found it worthy of the Jim Henson name and a great way to celebrate Thanksgiving!
Gerry I tried, I really tried to sit through this movie. I could not do it. the plot is lame, the dialogue is inane, the characters vapid. Not even decent special effects could save this movie. Two points, the sheriff: agrees with "bad guy" about the missing turkeys without even doing the most basic of investigating, making Barney Fife look like Walker, Texas Ranger. And of course, the debt must be paid in 2 days, and guess what, Thanksgiving is just 2 days away, how contrived of a plot line can you get? The "bad guy": no character development at all, just "here is what I am going to do, HA HA HA!!! Save your time and stuff this turkey in the dumpster!!
