Saw this on Tubi and decided to give a watch for gits and shiggles. I'm sorry I did. What a piece of junk. The person who rated this 10/10 obviously worked on the movie or knows someone who did. I didn't even rate Shawshank 10/10. I gave it a 2, only because people actually took time out of their lives to shoot this absolute tragedy. If you're thinking about watching it, I want you to take that thought out of your head and flush it down the toilet. The same toiled this movie belongs in. What a horrendous attempt at a "movie". I want my money back, and I didn't even spend anything on it. I'm disappointed in myself for giving it as much time as I did.

aardvarktheape15 August 2023Sybil is a middle-aged overweight woman who answers a customer complaint line for a living -- and in her personal life, she deals with complaints too. It seems everyone is out to put her down, except for her sympathetic neighbor Kristy, and Ray-Ray a completely obnoxious neighbor who seems intent on inserting himself into Sybil's life. Sybil finds comfort in dolls and has created a web series to show her restoration work. One day, a mysterious package arrives containing a haggard Baby Oopsie doll, so Sybil gets to work on a restoration, not knowing that she's putting the lives of everyone around her in jeopardy.
I went into this not even realizing that Baby Oopsie was from Demonic Toys, and not really expecting much of anything, but I was shocked and delighted that it seemed like an upgrade over Full Moon's output of softcore porn and increasingly idiotic Evil Bong entries from the last 20 years.
The characters are compelling (even the ones who you love to hate), most of the performers act well, they packed in a little bit of production value, and there are some decent FX. Libbie Higgins is charming as the lead, Lynne McPherson devours the scenery as her tormentor, and Justina Armistead is deliciously over-the-top as Ray-Ray. These are not characters that you usually see in horror movies -- and if you do, you're certainly not meant to root for them -- they feel much more akin to something from a 1970s John Waters film. They're sad and sleazy, but totally lovable.
As for the title character, the puppets aren't great (particularly in the first season), but they do the job. Oopsie's personality is intentionally obnoxious but sorta like Chucky, she's weirdly cute. She gets a big physical upgrade in the second season, which also introduces us to Cowboy Roy and Frownie Clownie, her very-welcome partners-in-crime.
The story gets progressively sillier by the season 2 finale, but I can't complain because I'd become so invested in Sybil's strange saga that it was easy to roll with.
This was obviously a labor of love, and although it doesn't have the production values of the aforementioned Chucky series or even the earliest Demonic Toys (which was made when Charles Band was still utilizing Paramount's money), it's still highly recommended to anyone who enjoys the killer doll genre. It's best watched straight-through in a binge, either as six episodes or three feature films (both packagings are practically identical, the series just contains a few extra sets of credits plus an unnecessary recap show). -
jtungsten1619 December 2021I Loved Baby Oopsie, it was a fun watch, we laughed so hard, the acting was so great. The doll was so freaking funny. The movie was very entertaining and shot very well. Everyone who loves horror needs to watch this movie.
