Yecch!

Rating: Null/10 (25 December 1998)

If you can picture in your mind a bad recipe that produces a movie, this would be the likely result. Add in one part Christmas movie, one part Dickens atmosphere, two parts great set design, 5 parts of the previous Batman movie, and 327 parts of a villain more disgusting then evil, half bake it, and you get this.
I like Danny Devito, but his grotesquely malformed Pengiun constantly drooling green stuff was too much. Michael Keaton and Michelle Pefeiffer try, but can't rise above the material. Still, it it brings a smile to my face thinking of a zoo keeper getting a phone call from Hollywood, "You need 1,000 penguins for WHAT?"
