Another Full Moon/Moonbeam Entertainment "classic".

"Beanstalk" is, of course, a live-action version of "Jack and the Beanstalk". The only thing of any substantial interest is the performance of Margot Kidder. She is so loopy in this film that it is downright disturbing. Kidder takes on the role of a mad scientist/archaeologist with reckless abandon. She truly seems a bit unhinged.The two main child actors are Patrick Renna and J.D. Daniels. Daniels plays the title role of Jack with all of the emotion of a banana. Renna is more experienced and does a decent job. It doesn't matter, though, because he is trapped in a hellishly awful movie.The story is too dumb even for kids to enjoy. Richard Moll plays a banker who wants to foreclose on the whole town, tear down all the buildings, and fill the entire area with water. The plan is to make a mint by owning pricy lakefront property. Umm...okay. Anyway, for reasons I won't go into, a giant beanstalk grows in someone's backyard and a couple of kids climb all the way up it to see what's at the top. I was personally hoping they would find a better script up there but they didn't.One more thing...the scene towards the end featuring the giant stomping around the small town has to be seen to be believed. Give Roger Corman a hundred bucks and even he probably could've come up with something more believable. It's that bad. 1/10

Painful children's flick

An early Full Moon/Moonbeam production, and another of their children's adventure flicks, although I preferred the PREHYSTERIA! Films. This one's a riff, of course, on a classic fairytale, with the action transposed to modern day America. Sadly, the main character is exceedingly irritating and the supporting lad who befriends/bullies him throughout the movie is even more intensely unlikeable. Worst of all, the paucity of the budge means we're limited to a plastic beanstalk, poor miniature effects and awful 'giant' makeup which doesn't extend below the chin. The humour is lowbrow, the script painful, the plot development near zero. No thanks!

The Stupid Way Of Adapting The Fairy Tale Story

Beanstalk is a really dated and really stupid movie that had failed awfully to adapt Jack And The Beanstalk. I'm not saying everything is wrong adapting old stories that's set in a modern world. Films like Onward and Hoodwinked do find a way to make it good films. But this one is not the case at all. The writing makes a terrible execution. The story is illogical. The humor is filled with stupidity. The visuals look like they belong in a school play. The actors have overacted. And the characters are absolutely obnoxious. And honestly, this truly deserves to be forgotten. In fact when I searched the reviews for this on YouTube, there were only a very few. That's good for most people online since nobody else is talking about this. Maybe it will be one of those films kids would used to like but grow out of it. Other than that, this is not worth the headaches. The only thing the movie would be known for is nothing but a stupid and dull mess.
