In this episode of All2ReelTooās SO BAD THEYāRE GOOD series, we bravely venture into the bizarre family-fantasy fever dream that is Gooby (2009).
When 11-year-old Willy is struggling through a rough patch, his childhood toy springs to lifeāliterally. Enter Gooby: a six-foot-tall, furry, imaginary(?) monster who crashes into reality to help Willy copeā¦ whether anyone asked for that help or not. What follows is a wildly strange mix of heart, confusion, and unintentionally hilarious moments that must be seen (and discussed) to be believed.
We break down the plot, the performances, and the many āchoicesā this movie makesāasking the important question: is Gooby a misunderstood family film, or a hall-of-fame entry in so-bad-theyāre-good cinema?
