5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent kid's movie, August 26, 2004

This review is from: The Buttercream Gang (DVD)

I first saw this movie when I was a kid. Family Feature Films or something like that used to be the only way to get this, as well as many other movies that my parents got for me. This particular movie is about a group of kids that have club called the Buttercream Gang that help others. One of their friends that left for the city awhile ago comes back to town very different. He steals, is mean to others, etc. Even though he starts to do mean things to his former friends, they never give up on him. He eventually goes back to the city and a few months later he writes to them and tells them that he started a club to help people there in the city. If parents are looking for a movie that teaches kids good lessons, this is a good one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arguably one of the greatest family films...of all time., October 3, 2005

Words cannot express the essence and magnificence of this incredible motion picture. Seeing it for the first time on VHS as a young adolescent, I considered the movie to be rather humorous. The teenage boys dressed in rolled-up shorts and high socks and saying things like "Maybe you should look the word 'fun' up in the dictionary," can be viewed as funny to all ages. However, the message expressed in this tale of a struggling friendship outweighs any of the silly aspects. The main song that is played in a couple scenes throughout the movie is as equally vital and heart-warming; and supports the storyline perfectly. It's a movie everyone can relate to in some way. Seeing it at that age, I was very skeptical and judgemental. But something about it made me watch the Buttercream Gang again... and again. I showed it to my peers and eventually the movie became a classic masterpiece for both family and friends. I recently bought a used DVD copy and watched it for the first time in about 5 years ... and it was simply magnificent! Buy this movie today, watch it, put it in a locked cabinent for 3 months, and WATCH IT AGAIN. It will change your life.

This movie is wonderful. I loved that the boys were so helpful with the townspeople, even with their friend who turned to "other friends". This story of compassion and unconditional love, even amongst boys, is a great turning-of-age movie, appropriate for all ages. My seven-year-old loved it.
