not a great kiddy dino movie but maybe the greatest ever made about a teen girl obsessed with golfing and being scottish (including doing the accent/saying "bonny", eating (and selling??) haggis, playing bagpipes, breaking down the history of plaid, finding long-extinct creatures & immediately asking if theyve heard the "greatest band of all time" the bay city rollers, saying shit like "this is gonna be more fun than a sean connery film festival" and having a framed photo of scotty from star trek on her bedroom wall). with fred willard, bill moseley, drax from dr.alien, and spoiled rich kids named "bush" and "dole". contains a zapruder film parody, crotch close-ups of a guy unzipping his fly, dozens of royal crown colas, the line "you're the dark prince of golf - you don't care about it - you're just exploiting it!!" and a song called "rock n roll godzilla" with lyrics about chinatown and bruce lee. from david decoteau, who else?

A movie about a a young girl so obsessed with golf that she dresses like Bagger Vance, uses non-stop Scottish slang, plays bagpipes, eats haggis around the clock, talks to a picture of Sean Connery and quotes James Doohan’s Scotty more than once. She lives on a dilapidated mini putt course with her poor family located within a larger actual golf course run by her evil uncle who wants to bulldoze their eyesore of a property and who, years earlier, cheated her father (a sad but game Fred Willard) out of winning the PGA. After rising tensions between the two brothers including at one point, soaking the mini putt in gasoline in an attempt to burn it down, a deal…

I suppose watching these Full Moon children's movies is an unhealthy source of comfort... kind of like a teenager sucking their thumb... but that's not really any of your business IS IT!

Grade-A trash. A must watch of so bad it must be seen cinema.
Review by C-Eazy ★½ 1

I just don't understand movies of the 90's. This movie just comes off as extremely forced, even for a kids movie. There is so much wrong with this movie, I don't even know where to begin. I have very fond memories watching this movie as a child. My mother would take me to Blockbuster and I would rent this movie numerous times, you know back in the dark ages of watching movies. But this one starts of with plenty of poor choices. First of all the dinosaurs are just given the lamest exposition and just tossed in a crate "accidentally". It just seems rushed and just does not sit well with me. The biggest problem with this movie is the…

RIP Fred Willard.
Review by Nibba Grinch ★½

I just wanna grab the composer’s keyboard and smash the living shit out of it. The main highlight are easily the dinosaur effects. They’re like the only source of genuine charm in this whole film. The main character is awfully annoying, she’s just obsessed with anything Scottish, with great quotes like “great scott”, “good thing we have scotch tape” and my favorite, “This is more fun then a Sean Connery film festival.”

Review by John Charles ★

The tiny dinos are on the loose again, this time invading a failed mini golf course perched on the edge of a thriving country club. The owner of the latter is determined to get the mini putt property away from his brother to build a giant golf resort, but the dinosaurs' presence provides some all-new inspiration for the shuttered business.
The PREHYSTERIA series came to an end — and not a minute too soon — with this entry. Evidently, VHS sales were slumping indicating audience disinterest in the wee beasties, and this is also apparent in the film. On the one hand, it's amazing how everyone here takes MINIATURE DINOSAURS for granted, but since they have almost no bearing at…
