RiffTrax: Little Lost Sea Serpent

In the tradition of those other Kids Adventure Film Entertainment classics, Little Lost Sea Serpent is built completely around an upsetting little puppet. The puppet in this one is definitely better than the puppets in those others, though, so that's something. Isn't it? Look, when you spend this much time with Joe Estevez kid movies, you get a little desperate for scraps of hope. The movie is set in a beach town where it's somehow newsworthy when "some stuff washes up on the beach." Among the debris is the titular sea serpent, or sea monster, or creature, depending on who's speaking. A young boy and an older girl-who has an ill-advised crush on him-find the thing, and inexplicably decide to befriend it. The boy hopes the giggling, wet beast will somehow help his mom get back together with his estranged father, played by, you guessed it, the one and only Joe Estevez. Meanwhile, the kids try to keep the bug-eyed reptile hidden from two cartoonishly goofy men who constantly pursue them but never manage to appear in the same scene. That's kind of impressive, in a way. Again, desperate for scraps of hope here. Is Little Lost Sea Serpent the best of these movies? Watch it with Mike, Kevin and Bill so you can finally complete your Baby Ghost / Roller Gator / Sea Serpent power rankings.
