ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

SmakethDown638 I remember when I first saw this movies, my expectations were low. The original Gingerdead Man was decent, but it was a little too serious. Luckily, this sequel does it all right and is by far the best in the series! Lots of gross out humor, decent gore, funny kills, hilarious lines, offensive humor, and just an all around riot! The first time I saw this movie, I was laughing my butt off! Saw it a second time, and I still laughed! Movie does a great job of poking fun at Full Moon and internet movie critics and movie fan-boys. The tiny terrors were hilarious! This movie made me have a better appreciation for the original, and now I just want this series to continue. Love the Passion of the Crust!

Paul Andrews Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust is set at Cheatum Studios where they are filming Tiny Terror's 9, lunch-woman Polly (Michelle Bauer) arrives with a box full of food for the crew including the Gingerdead Man who is in the box for some reason. The Gingerdead Man wants to transfer his soul into a human body & needs to sacrifice six people to do so, with lots of actor's & crew around there's no shortage of potential victims. Meanwhile terminally ill Tommy (Joseph Hines) is on a guided tour of the studio who himself is in fact a failed screenwriter & wants revenge for all the bad films Cheatum Studios have made...Directed by Silvia St. Croix this is less a sequel to the comedy horror film The Gingerdead Man (2005) & more of a send-up of the goings-on on the set of a low budget horror film which you get the distinct idea is a fictional account of the real-life struggles & experiences of Charles Band & his numerous production companies & attempt to get low budget horror films made. In that regard Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust is quite fun for it's first half as all sorts of behind the scenes mishaps & incidents happens with respected actor's lied about the content of the film they have been talked into appearing in, directors who read the paper during takes & as long as the shot is in focus he thinks it's great which includes a cameo from low budget film director David DeCoteau to a rather bitter speech about how internet reviewers kill the films the studio makes which is an obvious dig at numerous sites who trash these sorts of films & I think it's a little unfair since no-one goes into a film wanting not to like it & it can work both ways, for instance look what the internet did for The Blair Witch Project (1999)? To be honest the internet is good since hopefully it forces people like Charles Band to make better films which surely is what everyone wants. The Gingerdead Man character himself plays second fiddle to the low budget film send-ups & he doesn't feature that much in the film anyway.There's a bit of gore, there's a headless body, a chopped off hand, an eyeball hanging out, a ripped out heart & a bit of blood splatter. The sets are cheap but suit the feel of the production & there's loads of nods & references to other Charles Band productions including Re-Animator (1985) & Dolls (1987). The opening credits feature various poster designs for fictional horror films for some reason. Some of comedy evil puppets that are brought to life at the end include sh!t for brains & the haunted dildo which feel like one time gags & are maybe used a little bit too much & of course they look incredibly silly. The Gingerdead Man effects are average at best & his one-liners aren't particularly funny. In more horror film references a character is clearly seen reading a copy of Fangora.I would have thought the budget for this would have been pretty low, perhaps even lower than the original. A few familiar faces turn up in cameos from director David DeCoteau & Michelle Bauer, the acting isn't that good but everyone seems to be up for it & no-one takes it seriously.Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust is fun when it's poking fun at low budget film making & the constant reference to it but when the story kicks in it loses something. Apparently Charles Band has announced Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver but the IMDb doesn't list it, even as in pre-production.

norbi_nw Well i had to rate it 1/10, because there was no 0/10.. i can't call it a movie, or should i call it a 10year old director movie. B movie? rather call it a Z-movie. After seeing half of the movie, i said to myself thank you very much, i've had enough. Acting is even worse, special FX.. pfff, and lines.. pathetic. this movie is AWFUL!Budget: 100$ (IMO)P.S. i didn't see the first part, but some people say that THIS one is better, so i wonder about the first part..So don't waste money renting it. I rather watch grass grow than this movie again!!

VinnieRattolle Rarely does a sequel come along that's better than its predecessor (but come on, we're talking about a movie where the villain is Gary Busey ridiculously scaled down to a cookie puppet!). Although it's, sadly, Busey-less, Gingerdead Man 2 delivers the goods. This time around, the Gingerdead Man is set loose in a bad b-movie studio.After a very "Pushing Daisies"-like prologue, viewers are treated to one non-stop spoof of practically everything Full Moon Features has ever done, with a bumbling lead who's obviously modeled after Charles Band (who, if I'm not mistaken, came up with the story). There's some hilariously off-kilter evil puppets, inside jokes, cameos, spoofs and movie references galore, lots of tasteless depravity and gore... I think about the only thing that's missing that one usually finds in a Full Moon movie is the gratuitous T&A (and the movie still works without it). For fans of the offbeat studio, it doesn't get much better than this.
