It’s hard to believe anyone wouldn't enjoy Mint Romney ice cream, right? But there’s a catch: if kids eat it, they turn into violent killers who want to eliminate every adult around – parents, relatives, teachers, everyone. Fortunately, "Jared" (played by Charlie Zelzter) can’t have any because he has a dairy allergy, and his sister "Lizzie" (Sarah Abbott) won't let him. That's a relief! It means he, "Mia" (Kiori Mirza Waldman), and "Tommy" (Shiloh O'Reilly) are the only kids in town who aren’t on a mission to commit gruesome murders. The reason for all this mayhem? Well, they (and we) quickly figure out it has something to do with the unsettling ice cream man (Ari Millen), whose van mysteriously shows up day and night to supply them with more frozen treats and keep their destructive behavior going – even the attractive firefighter isn't safe! After about ten minutes, things devolved into a silly, unsophisticated mess of computer-generated imagery that did get a reaction from the group of us in the cinema; we were all glancing at one another, wondering how something like this could have ever been approved. The movie repeats itself, and there’s no real suspense or any effort to develop characters we might care about as they go around brutally murdering people, often set to music. It felt like Belson and Roth just typed the word "kill" into a digital dictionary and let their computers run wild with the results. To be fair to Zeltzer, he attempts to add some quiet emotion to the film – even though some of his lines contain language that kids his age probably wouldn’t use or even understand; but the rest of the cast just seem like they were told to go make a mess for the cameras. Even John Carpenter or Sam Raimi at their worst managed to keep us somewhat engaged in what was happening, but this film really doesn't have anything going for it – except maybe the closing credits. It seems like someone might think there’s potential for a sequel, but I truly hope those with money will reject something so carelessly made and put that money into movies that actually require human effort instead of just relying on machines.
