Small Soldiers

CriticsCritics: 56
AudienceAudience: 6.1

When military technology is placed inside a new line of action figures, the toys awaken with their programming intact. A teenager and a group of unusual fantasy figures are caught in the escalating conflict as the battle-minded toys turn a quiet neighborhood into a war zone.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy energetic 1990s action-comedies with dark humor, practical effects, and a touch of Gremlins-style horror; Not for you if you want gentle, straightforward family entertainment.
