Bad=Good?



The Best Worst Movie was very entertaining. It is so hard to believe that people have made movies like Troll 2 and believe in a story that is basically nonsense. The amount of flaws Troll 2 has is probably equivalent to the amount of dialogues the entire cast has, or probably even more. But this documentary takes us into the present lives of the actors in the film. It shows us how they are doing and how working on Troll 2 has effected their lives. However, what caught my attention in this documentary is that it says something very interesting about our society and our generation.
It seems to be that whatever is bad is good. Despite being a horrible movie, Troll 2 has developed a cult following which has given the film a lot of success in recent years.
What is even more interesting is that at one point the actors realize that it's not everyone that knows about this movie but a certain demographic that enjoys Troll 2 for what it is.
The documentary is also very true to the reality of how the film effected the people involved in the making of the film, specifically the cast. For most of them, Troll 2 ruined their career in acting. It creates a very awkward and funny moments when people talk about how Troll 2 effected them but it is actually the reality of the situation and they are struggling in life because of the film.
What is also noteworthy is that the documentary shows the relationship of the director and the cast. It gives the audience of the documentary a chance to witness what it would have been like for the cast when they were actually Troll 2. The filmmakers do not shy away from the awkward situations at press conferences and other situations where the cast clashes with the director.
