Saul (Rich Tretheway) has never been a great father to Kyle (Josh
Fontaine), but it's not for the lack of trying - it's just, Saul is an
alcoholic, Kyle blames him for the suicide of his mum, plus Kyle's 15
right now, the perfect age to hate one's parents anyways. So to make up
with his son, Saul decides to give him two fookers for Cristmas, an
extremely rare breed of small animals who are kept in separate cages,
because once they procreate, all hell breaks loose. One can't claim Kyle
isn't at least impressed, and neither is his girlfriend Peggy (Anna Rizzo)
- so before long she has persuaded him to get them together in one cage,
in exchange for him touching her boobs (they're still only 15, so touching
boobs means a lot) ... and once they procreate, they immediately
have tons of offspring - and what's worse, they're all pretty much little
flesh-eating monsters. And now Kyle,
Peggy and dad Saul have to stick together to get rid of these creatures -
though that's easier said than done, as there are still plenty of
unresolved issues between Kyle and dad, and the fact that Peggy and Saul
start to have something going doesn't make things any easier ... Of
course, there wouldn't be a Scary Little Fuckers without The
Gremlins, the premise is just too similar (as you've no doubt been
able to tell) - but to just dismiss this movie as derivative would be
totally wrong, as it stands on its own, is wild and dirty, has its moments
that are just totally wrong, dares to be hilarious in all the wrong
places, plus the monsters in all their Muppet-like
simplicity crossed with Star
Trek's Tribbles are just a treat. In all, really
good holiday entertainment, actually.
