REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Wed., Feb. 21, 2001
Back in the day, everyone wanted to live in a yellow submarine. Not sure what's up, though, with wanting to live in a garbage pail. This crude live-action takeoff on the Cabbage Patch phenomenon ought to have had star Anthony Newley humming "Stop the Movie, I Want to Get Off."
