This is one of those Tubi films that everyone’s joked about for being the textbook example of what people imagine a Tubi movie to be. And honestly, now that I’ve seen it, I don’t think I can disagree with the connotations that pair the two.

Tiffany the Doll* is amateur, a bit incoherent, and anti-climactic - three words you often don’t want to hear a film described as. And yet I think there’s something here that the director-writer-producer has no desire to approach; every man in this film buys a Tiffany doll because they like that she doesn’t nag. There’s a clear nod to the objectification of women with such a thing, but it’s never expanded upon, even as a plausible motive for the dolls to kill. Notably, Tiffany mostly kills men. Even so, there’s so much inconsistency and desire for transition shots and padding that we often get scenes repeated instead. Two separate scenes happen right after each other where characters talk about how well made the male equivalent to Tiffany is, and it gets mind numbing. It’s sadly not as funny as one would hope it to be, and that’s the film’s biggest issue.
The actress playing the titular Tiffany deserves an Oscar for not breaking character once with all the nonsense going on in the film.
