I so wanted to like this film. Following the death of a Robin Williams I was rewatching his films and decided to watch some that I'd previously missed hence my son and I settled down to watch Toys. The film is terrible - it's Willie Wonka on drugs. The story is terrible, the acting is terrible. They use an English actor (Michael Gambon) to play the part of a US general and then create a reason as to why he is incapable of speaking with an American accent - just get an American actor instead. Jamie Foxx is in the film but I bet it's not on his CV! LL Cool J also appears - the pinnacle of his career no doubt. Robin Williams was a fantastic actor but during his life he made some bad choices when it came to the movies he appeared in - this must surely be one of them.
