From Amazon.com: Kids may enjoy the slapstick of this modern reworking of the old Our Gang comedies, but parents who grew up watching them on TV (or grandparents who saw them at theaters) will wonder why anyone would want to be involved in this pathetic remake. Directed by Penelope Spheeris, the film takes look-alike kids and casts them as Spanky, Alfalfa, Buckwheat, and the rest, minus any sense of what made the old Hal Roach comedies funny. Instead of kids being kids, these are kids doing shtick while recycling such old bits as the He-Man Woman Haters Club, the kids' go-cart race, and Spanky and Alfalfa dressing as girls. Devoid of charm or wit. --Marshall Fine
WAY BETTER THAN OUR GANG - a classic for family and kids: I have seen many of the old "Our Gang" shows. I found them boring, dull and just a little strange. The humor was so dry and odd. The picture quality was lacking even for its age and I just could not enjoy them - not even as a kid of under 12. This movie however, took some of the best ideas from the whole "Our Gang" collection (not to mention many original ideas) and combined it with great film technique, unforgetable humor and some of the most talented kids I have ever seen as performing artists. The lines are impossible not to quote after the movie. This movie is great for adults who need a break from all the filth found in modern media and can enjoy the hilarious childhood antics that we all identify with. The real genius of the film is how the movie captures and expresses the mindframe of a child. I love the line "The Blur has been the fastest gocart ever since the begining of time ... 5 years". If you wanted the "cutest" movie ever made, in my opinion, this is it. It's great!
Very Bad immitation of the great classic Rascal: This is one of the baddest remakes ever, i couldn't believe that this was in one of the greatest box office success ever, i am not a regular watcher of the crazy classic family comedy, but i even would notice the difference between the two, it's worth watching but these fake acting kids don't live up to the great charecters of the 6 Rascals. Well, my point is that this movie is like a feature legnth bad episode, i would give it a 6.5/10.
The Most Adorable Movie Ever!!!: I Love This Movie.I think that this is the Most Cutest & Adorable Movie Ever!And plus I have this movie at home.This movie has alot of cute kids in this movie is Spanky,Stymie Buckwheat,PorkyAlfalfa & Darla.I thought that was so cute when Darla & Alfalfa kissed in this movie.This movie is Funny & it's the Best!!!
Poor Attempt at Recreating the Magic of the Original Rascals: My young kids love the original little Rascals that are available on video and which, until recently aired on AMC on Sunday mornings. They were very disappointed with this fake-looking, slow and poorly-acted attempt that fails miserably to recreate the magic of the original Our Gang. The characters are mismatched too! What made the original work was that many of what was done was impromptu with the kids acting at being themselves. In this movie, the kids are trying to copy other people working from a script and it just doesn't work. Try to find the originals on video if you can.
It always makes me laugh.: I've loved this movie since I was...very young, I can't think of the exact age. But the point is that I loved it then and I still love it now. It's got a very innocent and yet humorous plot about a group of friends who are part of the "He-Man Womun Haters Club," but the club is in jeopardy when one of the members, Alfalfa, falls in love with Darla. Things get even worse when a rich kid by the name of Waldo moves to town and steals Darla's affections. It leads to a very funny string of events all leading up to the big race to win a much-sought-after trophy. Great for all ages.
