Gooby (2009) - SO BAD THEY'RE GOOD REVIEW

In this episode of All2ReelToo’s SO BAD THEY’RE 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 life—literally. Enter Gooby: a six-foot-tall, furry, imaginary(?) monster who crashes into reality to help Willy cope… 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 “choices” this movie makes—asking the important question: is Gooby a misunderstood family film, or a hall-of-fame entry in so-bad-they’re-good cinema?
