Normally, I don't write reviews for the movies I rate just because I don't have the time, but for this I'll make an exception since I found out about either a person or a bot actually going through and raising up the rating for this piece of dreck.
Now, I know I'm not the target audience being an adult, but you can tell the difference between a good kids movie and a bad kids movie. A good kids movie won't talk down to its audience and treat them like an idiot, just because they're kids, it doesn't mean they're stupid. A bad kids movie treats them like an idiot because they're a kid. Oogieloves decidedly falls into the latter category.
So, please, parents, if you're actually looking for a movie for your kids that's live action and not animated, DO NOT rent/buy this movie. For the love of god, there's like 10 Muppet movies out there that's better than this, including Muppets in Space. If there's no Muppet movies, even Space Jam is better than this. If you're really desperate, even the Scooby Doo live action movies are better than this! And if you absolutely can't find anything besides Oogieloves, give them a book or make them watch a blank screen, both provide better mental stimulation than this!
