Blog:Pups in America

Pups in America is a 1989 German-British-American independent low-budget fantasy adventure film directed, produced and written by Joey Loserpants and distributed by his company Randomness Entertainment. The movie was critically panned and is considered to be one of the worst movies ever made.

Plot
Some puppies (Cookie, Chomps, Goldie and Nerd) go to New York City in their magical flying sofa, but must avoid an alien when he crash-lands and tries to capture the pups.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) It launched Joey Loserpants' career.
 * 2) The film's low budget is clear as day, with painfully obvious green screen effects and the mouths of the animals not even moving. The costume and make-up for Squeeze looks atrocious.
 * 3) Ridiculous plot. In fact, the film barely has anything going on and has a lot of padding with random scenes happening out of nowhere.
 * 4) Awfully cheesy acting. The voice-overs for the animals are laughable (especially with the lack of mouth movements) and also really annoying (especially Goldie).
 * 5) The film is filled to the brim with stereotypes. For example, the pups have thick British accents and live in a posh household whilst the cats they encounter in New York at some point are portrayed as gangster stereotypes complete with thick Brooklyn accents and saying a lot of slang.
 * 6) None of the characters are likeable, especially the pups.
 * 7) * Cookie is the worst character, being nothing more than a complete jerk as he always thinks about himself and constantly gets the others in trouble. Even when he supposedly learns from his actions, it feels incredibly rushed.
 * 8) * Chomps is a complete idiot who screws everything up and never stops talking about food.
 * 9) * Goldie is basically a spoiled rich girl stereotype who is extremely aggravating, especially when she constantly screams!
 * 10) * Nerd is a punching bag and has nothing interesting about him.
 * 11) * Squeeze (the alien) is a stupid villain with no real motivation to try and catch the pups.
 * 12) * The kids that help the pups barely contribute anything to the plot.
 * 13) Despite trying to be a family film, the film has a lot of juvenile, weird and/or inappropriate content:
 * 14) * The pups farting to make the sofa fly.
 * 15) * A Chinese stereotype trying to capture the pups and cook them.
 * 16) * The pups presumably causing a car crash by accident.
 * 17) * One of the kids that helps the pups peeing on Squeeze.
 * 18) * The pups secretly following Squeeze, who captures women from a club and takes them to his lair.
 * 19) * Chomps eating his own poop.
 * 20) Awful humour, such as Squeeze's space puns.
 * 21) Inconsistent tone. The film can't decide if it wants to be light-hearted and goofy or surreal and dark.
 * 22) Squeeze is literally defeated by the pups using the magic of friendship to start biting each other, then combining into a magical dog-like creature and blowing on him until he explodes into green liquid.
 * 23) The ending is very disturbing, especially for a family film. When the pups are going back home on the flying sofa, Chomps reveals that he had a packet of biscuits with him, but refuses to share them with the others, saying that there's not enough (despite being a big bag) and then parachuting down when they get home, with the starving puppies saying that they'll be down in a minute just before they go to sleep with the couch heading up to the clouds. So this ending implies that Chomps supposedly LEFT HIS SIBLINGS TO DIE OF STARVATION, WHICH MAKES HIM EVEN WORSE!!!

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The film can be considered "so bad, it's good".
 * 2) Okay soundtrack.
