Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV

As much fun as I had with this film, and many others will have with it for years to come, Citizen Toxie is definitely an acquired taste.

It's sick. It's stupid. But it also is undeniably adept at skewering social hypocrisy, lancing the boils of political self-righteousness, and poking fun where others fear to tread.

Any buyer who's had success with Troma fare in the past will find the makings to delight the self-selecting audience that generates grosses from gross-out humor.

Nauseating, tasteless and offensive -- but in all the best ways.

The movie's relentless comic excess is ultimately a little exhausting. But the longer the series endures, the more likely it is to achieve classic cult status.

Puerile, gross and pandering to the lowest impulses of teenage boys.

Laughs are few and far between, and the film feels brutally long.

This is noticeably worse than the previous film. Maybe my patience for this kind of rubbish has run out. It’s just as silly as the other films and just as much a cult ‘favourite’ but in reality it’s not worth watching. Sadly it is not as violent as the previous films. It’s good to see Toxie on the screen again after such a long time but that only carries the film so far. It’s deliberately bad and it’s not entertaining anymore. If the previous films are your sort of film then this probably will be too so long as you are prepared to be disappointed.
