Too much of everything
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I guess it was funny if you're mentally retarded. Like the only humor was people spewing farts out of there butt. Not funny after the 3rd time in the movie, in which there has to be at least 9000 farts. I think this being rupert grint's starting movie shows how bad he is as an actor and just showing that this movie should be shown for free. It was suppose to be touching in the end where the leading character, not rupert grint, gives some speech about being yourself. Like we've never heard that before and we're suppose to be like all supporting his farting lifestyle. Such a horrible movie, if you find this funny im sorry for your life. I've tried watching it more than once, each time thinking "hey this might be better" but it is so stupid. I would only tell people to watch it if i hated them.
this movie is called thunderpants. it is about someone who breaks wind a lot. and yet many people seem to only see a boy continually breaking wind.the fact is, this movie has been misunderstood by most people. where they see a ridiculous and unrealistic story, I see a quirky, silly, and surprisingly un-fart-related tale of a boy trying to find his friend and them both fulfilling their ambitions. it does not show a story solely about flatulence; it uses flatulence as a basis for telling the story of the two best friends.the acting is second rate, the plot is suitably silly, and I love the 'green theme' that is shown throughout. At some parts, it is actually very sad (but surprisingly, these seem to have been ignored by most people). in my opinion, it tells the story really rather well. it doesn't take itself too seriously, it has some very big names in it, and it's really a shame that no-one seems to get it.8/10
We watched this with our 6 and 3 year old boys who are the perfect age for this movie. As parents in our 40's we thoroughly had a great laugh and cannot see why many people reviewing this film do not just relax and have a good laugh as well. The boys wanted to watch the movie over and over again. They do call it the fart movie but it is more complex a movie than that. The acting by Rupert Grint (AKA Ron Weasley from Harry Potter) and Bruce Cook (Patrick Smash) is terrific. The movie is not about flatulence but about growing up and reaching for your dreams and goals and overcoming your fears and problems. The imagery & cinematography was terrific and the setting in London was very great.
A fantastic film that uses toilet humour to spread the message that it is OK to be different.Pebbledashed with fart references and farting, this film is a breath of cabbage filled air wafting through the rose fragranced industry.The main film may be toilet based humour however the underlying message that being different to the crowd is OK is worth spreading in many ways.Whilst not everyone will be amused by the fart jokes, many many people can identify with Patrick's struggle about being different.I laughed out loud through the whole film, and liked it so much I bought the DVD.
