DVD Reviews of The Little Rascals
DVD 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.
Description 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
