I haven't seen Manos: the Hands of Fate, but I have seen Ed Wood's immortal classic, Plan 9 From Outer Space; I have seen the phenomena that are called The Room and Troll 2, along with a number of other not- so known titles of the same calibre, or lack thereof. Ja, those are S—— movies with a capital S, especially that experiment gone wrong, The Room. But I have seen another "movie" that tests your movie-watching mettle as much as Tommy Wisseau's "dark comedy," dark comedy in quotations.That movie which I have weathered on more than one occasion, and that I proudly own, is called Mr. Jingles. This is one of those rare and even more tragic cases where the DVD box-art is better than the whole movie three times over. If the art on the box caught your interest, then you're in for a *big* surprise. Ho, ho! And I don't mean that in a good way.The plot: Mr. Jingles was accused of kidnapping and murdering children, was sent to the clinker, endured "all the torture, all the rape," to be had in there, learned the dark arts, eventually broke out, terrorized the witnesses who, apparently, were instrumental in his conviction, only to be shot by the same fellows who apprehended him the first time around. But it turns out that Mr. Jingles was innocent! (Ah-hah! The plot thickens!) And that his being in prison was an attempt to cover-up the hushed-up fiasco of convicting the wrong fellow in the first place. Having used the dark arts, Mr. Jingles' dæmonic effigy returns to—er?— seek revenge again. His main interest is in Angie Randall, who narrowly escaped Mr. Jingles' ax on the same night the latter murdered her parents.We learn all these details in two dreadfully long-winded and soporific exposition scenes couched in bad acting. It's like taking horse tranquilizers and then watching a train-wreck. You could say that about the whole movie, in fact. In any case, Mr. Jingles is all talking and no walking; and when we do get to the walking what we get is a cold and sloppy Taco Bell taco—not Taco Palenque. If you know where I'm coming from, you'll get the analogy. Others will be lost. In other words, it's bad. It's bottom of the barrel, and then two barrels below that one. The acting is laughable (The M.D. who does Jingles should consider sticking to his day job.), the special effects are cringe-worthy (You'll love the famous "gun scene" in the very beginning.), the pacing makes an eighty- minute movie feels like a three-hour movie, the script seems to have come from another planet where the aliens there do very bad impressions of humans, and the music will literally put you to sleep if you haven't injected yourself with three hits of Redbull for an entirely new movie- watching experience.If you've a bad case of coulrophobia that you can't shake, then I have wonderful news for you: buy this movie. If you're a movie-enthusiast, then it is your duty to watch this, that way you'll think twice the next time you dub the latest theatrical release as the worst-movie-ever. Once you've received your DVD copy, I suggest you make your popcorn during the opening credits, which last for roughly five minutes. If you've no popcorn, fast-forward and get right into this mess. One extra point for effort!Zauber Zerão, die zauberkatze

This movie was one of the worst i have seen. Do not waste your money buying it or your time watching it. I could not even get through watching the first 15 minutes. It seems like this was made for a high school project, but honestly, a high school project would turn out so much better than this movie. The cover and summary make it to be better than it is. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the budget for this movie was less than $50. You would honestly have a better time watching the grass grow, than watching this movie. I am giving you this warning hoping you will do better things with your time than to watch this.

this movie was horrible. me and my friends rented it and we thought someone rented the real thing and made a new version themselves and put it in the box. we had to look it up to see if it was real or not. i was honestly disgusted when i found out this was no joke. we only made it like 10 minutes into the movie without turning it off. its horrible and a waist of money. if you have any taste at all you know the second it turns on that its bad. but i do have to say... the cover was pretty cool, to bad the real Me.jingles looks NOTHING like the cover. Also, it was just another clown movie that made no sense. i mean "It" was at least interesting. "Drive Thru" had a story and suspense. I'm sorry, this film was a bad excuse for a killer clown movie.

I understand that this was a low-budget movie, but honestly, any movie that sucks that bad, should not be put on a shelf.It looks like my best friends school project, actually, that was better.All I was thinking throughout the entire thing was "why am I still watching this" and "how was this possibly sold."Biggest pile of crap I've ever found on a shelf.Its not worth watching, unless you've got some urge to watch and make fun of the most ridiculous thing you'll ever see.My mom and friend actually fell asleep a little after the insanely long beginning-credits.
