The last time I saw this movie was in 1996 I would assume. I don't remember. I only remembered ONE line from this movie and nothing else. But hey, I saw it at Walmart for $16 so why not.
I think it goes without saying that this movie makes NO sense. It's incredibly stupid. Rumpelstiltskin is deathly afraid of chaff, which seems to be a mystery item for people in this movie. You ever see someone panic over seeing some straw? I have.
Is he a person? What exactly IS Rumpelstiltskin? He's kind of like a gnome or something but I don't really know what he's supposed to be. Speaking of not knowing things, I still don't understand the mechanics of this movie. He wants a baby to steal its soul, but he has to take it to a graveyard and dance around all night? And then what? Does he become a baby? Does he die? This is not explained at all.
The music in this movie is so bizarre. It's like a bluesy mix tape with some rock guitar and then some hip hop here and there. Even in the "romance" scene with Mr. Police Officer it has weird music. But then there's a random A Flock of Seagulls song which I assume consumed most of their budget.
Uncle Rumpl seemed to be well versed in geography and American history, which is weird for a creature locked in a "talisman" for 600 years. GET OUT OF MY SHOP!

If you have some buds to watch it with, sure. This movie is absolutely ridiculous and while it's entertaining in parts, it's trying too hard in others. They knew what they were doing, but I'm not sure they did it very well.
