Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

haunt_freak "Patch Town" wanted to be a campy cult classic, sort of like "Repo! The Genetic Opera." What it ended up being was an awkward mish-mash of different genres that didn't combine well.While this film did get a few things right (like the Burton-esque visuals of the industrial Patch Town and one really pretty song towards the middle of the movie) it failed on a lot of counts. The "songs" are usually too short to be considered songs, but rather melodic interludes. A musical scene with the villain is downright awful and not sung, but rather talked with something resembling a melody in the background. The villain's vertically-challenged lackey is supposed to be some sort of comic relief, but his acting and delivery come off as awkward and not funny. The best characters in the movie are our protagonist and his wife. I will say I was quite happy to see a movie with a protagonist that is not "Hollywood Hunk" handsome. He had a nice singing voice, too! So did that girl playing his wife!I know what the creators of "Patch Town" were TRYING to do. They wanted to make a campy cult classic, but the all-over-the-place story, failed humor, and constant shifts in tone really ruined it for me. I will give it points for originality, though.

smellycat1304 Had amazing time watching Patchtown !A movie which mix all kind of genres in one, and so hard to put in a "case genre" thanks to the diversity it offers. It's kind of a musical tale but dark, and in the same time touching, and with a lot of humors ! Your feelings are never settled and challenged during the whole movie and I loved that :)Being a huge fan of Zoie Palmer, I bought and wanted watch this movie, first of all for her. She offers us again here an other side of her huge talent with the incredible performance as Bethany. And if I knew a bit some of the others actors, I discovered better in this movie their work, and discovered new ones too. Rob Ramsey is indeed so amazing and so touching (also what a singer !) as Jon, as Julian R. just brilliant .., and Suresh John made me laugh out loud whit the hilarious Sly :) And sooo happy to see the wonderful Allana H. in the cast too ! Well, just a big Bravo to the whole actors, team, crew, on the amazing movie there which is Patchtown !!To watch and re-watch !

trinity0780 If you grew up in the early 80s, you may recall the popular children's toy, the Cabbage Patch Kids. This film creatively transforms a classic children's toy from a sense of innocence to a sense of deception and manipulation. It has elements of Tim Burton's eccentric style with a totalitarianism system. I thoroughly enjoyed the dark humor, quirkiness, visual effects, and musical aspects of this film. Also, I was impressed with the camera angle and movements. This film has moments that are heartwarming and heartbreaking, but it is balanced out by applying humor from it. The audience will be drawn to certain characters in the film, where each character has a unique personality. All-in-all, I recommend this film to others. It's fun and entertaining. Let the imagination fly !

kosmasp This is a very weird movie indeed. The humor and tone is kind of all over the place. Someone compared it a bit to early Gilliam and they might not be off too much. While this is uneven, it still delivers many times. It's kind of amazing and has great ideas. Those help recover some of the rough patches that lie on the way ahead (no pun intended), so that the viewer won't mind too much.The effects are good, but you have to like the way the characters are made of course (Tim Burton was mentioned too in that commentary by another user). While its a wild story, it still is predictable enough and does include clichés. That's the uneven part for you, like it or hate it
