Movie Reviews of The Little Rascals
Movie Review: A timeless classic for all audiences
Summary: 5 Stars
As a 20-something male, I don't exactly fall under the target demographic for a movie like this. With no nostalgia for the classic Hal Roach shorts in the 1930s, I can write about this movie on its own merits.
First off, I love this movie. I watch it at least every two months and try to share it with as many friends as possible. The casting was perfect as the acting by the children is superb. You'll find yourself empathizing with love-struck Alfalfa, disliking Waldo, and laughing at every scene involving Buckwheat and Porky. When watching the movie, it is amazing to realize how young these kids are and how believable they come across on screen.
Aside from the celebrity cameos, I really don't see how this movie will ever feel dated. Well, I suppose Froggy's haircut and the physical appearances of Butch and Worm aren't exactly timeless, but the rest of the movie gives no clues that it is a mid-90s production.
I keep hoping that they will re-release this dvd with more special features, as I will be the first one in line to buy it. One could make the case that this movie is more of a romantic comedy than a traditional comedy (as in the original Little Rascals/Our Gang shorts), and I would definitely agree. There is an innocent charm to this movie, and the message that "you only make a once-in-a-lifetime friend but once in a lifetime" is made even more profound when spoken by a childhood friend. This is an excellent movie for all ages and I cannot recommend it enough if you haven't already seen it!
Summary of The Little Rascals
LITTLE RASCALS - DVD MovieKids 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
