Truly Dreadful Film
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
I turn this off after about 20 minutes because I'll file for and Darla keep kissing each other. These are very young kids and I don't think that showing them kissing all the time is appropriate for a children's movie. With our hyper-sexualized society the way it is, I don't see the point and adding to it in a children's movie.
Granted, more than half of the children were terrible actors. Most of them sounded coached and rehearsed, the movements were for the most part awkward and very unnatural, and some of them even looked into the camera throughout most of the movie. But that's what made it relatable to Us children of the '90s. It was definitely a spin off of the "Our Gang" serious from the Depression Era, however it was made to be modern with a few familiar twists. They were '90s Kids doing what Kids do! Just like the 'Our Gang' children were Kids doing Kid things from that era!Even though there were some copies from the original in the movie, it was all in good fun. Remember, it is a CHILDREN/family movie. I grew up watching both 'The Little Rascals' and 'Our Gang' and I don't think that the Little Rascals "disgraced" 'Our Gang' in any way whatsoever. Yes, there were similarities and some "copy catting," but so what? It is after all a Children's movie about Children doing things that Children like to do in their time frame. I didn't try to get too elaborate or lengthy with this because I'm simply defending the simplicity and innocence of the movie from old cranky grown ups & sell outs.
A friend of mine has a son...who when he was little...looked exactly like Bug Hall..who plays "Alfalfa" in the film. She laughed herself silly watching it..and invited me over to see it as well. As someone who loved the old original "Our Gang" shorts...I was happy to go watch this. I thought it was funny, cute and very entertaining. Yes..it was silly as well..but it was about kids doing kid things. Granted..in a modern setting..kids doing these mischievous things would have been in major trouble with any adult that might have been passing by. Parents would have been notified...police called..well, you know the rest. However..there were very few parents in evidence anywhere during most of the scenes. Kids allowed to roam all over town alone? It just was not safe really...but in the "Our Gang" films it was O-Tay...bad guys simply did not exist as they do today. I imagine getting these little kids to do as the director wanted was not easy. Distractions would be everywhere on a movie set. I know in the originals they would say and do mean things to the kids to get them to cry on cue...that was long before there were rules and laws against it. In this..most of the kids looked like they were having fun. Hopefully, they were. Funny this is..none of this kids probably ever heard or saw any of the stuff the original kids did way back when until this film came into being. The casting was really good...especially "Spanky" and "Alfalfa"...they fit just right. Adding cameos with Donald Trump and Woopie Goldburg could have been left out...I wasn't quite sure why they were necessary here. It is a feel-good movie that I believe all kids will enjoy at least once..and when they have kids someday...they will like it too. I hope they do not do any re-makes of this film. It was kind of a homage to the old shorts...but now it has been done...so leave them alone. :)
Yes, it seriously was. I'm not joking. I would rather tattoo 'Pocket Ninjas 4 life' across my chest with Brad Bufanda's face beneath it. Luckily, throughout the movie I was considerably stoned, and if I hadn't been, I probably would have gone downtown with a knife looking for something to kill. This movie made me the most angry I had ever been, which is surprising because I never get angry. Anyway...The movie starts out with a gang of homosexual children (who fear women more than having acid thrown in their faces) who are members of a club located in some decrepit shed, the proprietor (a 7 year old child) not in the least concerned about the state of the shed, nor what could be lurking inside it. This is just one mistake that the producers made, out of hundreds, most of them can be called 'Common sense & logic deficiency error'. There are so many factual errors, continuity errors, audio errors, and any type of error within this movie that there are at least 3 happening at any given moment, from start to finish. For a start, what kind of parent would let their 7 year old child roam free through wherever they are (Detroit?) and get pursued by a pair of crackhead 12 year old mulletheads, congregate within a shed that's falling to pieces, and follow a child called Alfalfa trying to get him to leave a joke of a relationship he has with -holds breath- a girl. I lost track of the movie from around that time. Had I been alone, I would have started screaming at the television. Had I taken acid, I would have died. Actually, if you gave me anything (sedatives, benzo's) something would have been stabbed or broken. Had someone injected a pound of crystallized Valium directly into my brain, I still would have gone into some hysterical stabbing frenzy.Maybe.
