Purely Joyful Movie!
Fresh and Exciting
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
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 a horrible, abysmal, awful, disgusting, sickening, stupid, senseless, childish, idiotic, just plain bad movie. There are probably many more adjectives I could use to describe this movie that I can not think of. First of all, the main actor (the farting boy) is awful in his role. It's not believable or funny, and when you listen to him talk, you feel like slapping him in the face. This movie is extremely childish with a stupid plot, and is totally ridiculous! For anyone who even considers seeing this train wreck of a movie, let me just say, THINK TWICE! So basically, I don't like it, and don't see it! EVER!
I really cannot understand the slating this film has had from some of the other commentators. This film is somehow in the bottom 100 IMDb films when it's a lot funnier and more enjoyable than most of the top 250, and for my money, that equates to "better". It has few special effects, CGI or otherwise, but refreshingly has invention, wit and warmth instead, and some super acting at least from the younger cast members. I found Patrick Smash convincing enough to engender a great deal of sympathy, and he becomes a very British sort of a hero. Young genius Alan A Allan is a cross between Patrick Moore and Alan Turing, and would have won WWII single handedly.Patrick's sister is very, very funny, and the episodes with the school bully and his entourage are well done, and bring back some scary memories.The whole film is "tongue-in-cheek", the car included: think of MIB, compare with the idea and budget of Thunderpants and you'll maybe see why the car looked the way it did. What do you want, another "Gone with the Wind"?
I enjoyed it and would recommend to to anybody looking for a bit of escapism. Thunderpants, at it's core, is just a story of hope, wrapped up in a ridiculous storyline. For me, it's simplicity, was the best bit.Even better, along the way, it finds time to mock José Carreras & Plácido Domingo and poke fun at everything from the British legal system to NASA to duplicitous individuals. And finally, one the movie's best touches is, it creates a world were kids are more than equal of their adult counterparts.I can't help but feel that a lot of people who saw this film took it alittle too seriously :), it is after all supposed to be, well.... fun.
