Movie Reviews of The Little Rascals
Movie Review: The Little Rascals
Summary: 4 Stars
Thoroughly enjoyed this movie, an oldie but a goldie, great family movie.Movie Review: PARENTS BEWARE!
Summary: 3 Stars
Everybody raises their children differently but after watching this movie once with our two small children we've shelved it indefinitely. Maybe when the youngest is 10 years old we'll pull it out again.
There were several things that made us cringe.
One minor irritation was that they tried to throw characters of the 1920s and 1930s in a 1990s America. Kids don't talk like that anymore, don't dress like that anymore, and the divide between girls and boys has been shrinking - why reopen that???
This should have been a period movie like "Christmas Story" and they should have removed the modern crude humor.
What really bothers us about it though were the constant statements of hate, killing, murder and dying. Sure these are kids and those words don't mean as much coming from them as it does from an adult but these words should not be used so casually.
Our fear was that our two young ones would begin to use language like that more often. No thanks. We'll be happier letting kids be kids without the suggestions of killing, murder, hate, etc.
Our last problem was the sexual innuendo. There were several occasions that made us cringe. One was Alfalfa's hair suggesting an erection when he saw a cute girl. I'm fine with that sort of humor being aimed at teens but let's leave the cause and effect of an erection unspoken for really young kids - okay?
The other was Alfalfa runing through the streets in jockey shorts (why not BOXERS?) and then losing them in the pool in front of Darla and the rich kid.
Hmmm... I don't know how but a 1930s version of this situation would seem much more innocent than this movie did. Maybe it was the delay between the time he noticed he was naked and the amount of time it took him to be embarrased.
In an old movie the character would have likely fled in terror behind something. In this movie all I could think of was a modern kid enjoying showing off his stuff. Yuck. Maybe in a Porky's style "college" movie - not in a movie for little kids. I prefer for our kids to be a little shy about who see's what.
I see the original episodes are available on DVD. We will be purchasing those.
Fun, innocent entertainment for little kids is very important to us. They grow up plenty fast without Hollywood's help. This movie is not part of the kind of entertainment we are ready to allow into our house for the kids.
Parents watch this one without your children and judge for yourself. It's funny but it may not be the kind of humor you want to introduce into your house - yet.
Movie Review: Very Bad immitation of the great classic Rascal
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Movie Review: not the originals

I thought I had the Little Rascals Our gang... this is a new version... my granddaughter like it she is two so hopefully we will get some use out of it... just not what I wanted... I will be looking close next time...it came allot quicker then it said... I will go back and get the gang from my time...Movie Review: Not the same as "Our Gang"
Summary: 3 Stars
Feeble attempt at re-creating "Our Gang" but is good for what it is. In a mindless mood for something light and occasionally amusing? This is your film.
