This has a really good premise. Unfortunately, a movie is not a premise. A movie consists of a plot, characters, dialogue, editing... All of that stuff, the stuff that actually constitutes a movie, is executed disastrously here.

Some of the critique of corporate America is pretty well thought-out (some, not all) and the in-universe advertising for The Stuff is pretty good. But that's it. I get the impression that someone had an idea for a cool premise and some satire you could do with it, but nobody ever came up with the movie to put that in. We're left with those good ideas stuck inside a hollow shell of a movie.

The final product is lifeless junk.
