Completely a satiric spoof on the genre with a lot of camp and a few belly laughs but just not good enough or funny enough to recommend.
Had me laughing at the beginning with a recap of Gingerdead Man 1, which apparently featured Gary Busey and was every bit as absurd and fun looking as I could have imagined.
Once this one starts though we're taken to a B Movie Studio that's in complete disarray. A box of cookies are delivered to the kraft table and inside is our titular hero.
Now, there's a cast of funny enough characters, including a gay dude and a buxom former starlet and a dyeing kid who's last wish is to tour the studio. There's also a good amount of in jokes about the B Movie industry and it's silliness.
The movie tries hard enough with all of these elements but as I said earlier, it just falls kind of flat. A lot of stuff intended to be "goofy silly" just comes off as "goofy goofy", if that makes any sense.
The actual Gingerdead Man, who is in fact an evil gingerbread cookie, has some funny lines and bad puns but really is not nearly as funny as I had thought he would be, nor can he be used to all that great effect because how the fuck do you show a cookie attacking people and make it look even close to real?
A little bit fun, but not fun enough to really justify recommending it. Maybe I'll give GingerDead Man 1 a try, but I don't think 2nds should of been on the menu. HAR.
