Kids 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

1.0 out of 5 stars Penelope lays an egg, April 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Rascals [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Fans of the original Hal Roach series should be outraged at this piece of junk, which is highly overrated at even one star. The cast of look-alike children are completely devoid of talent, the script is wretched, and the direction is even worse. P.U.!!

1.0 out of 5 stars O-Tay? No Way!, December 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Rascals [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of those projects that was doomed to failure at the very beginning. The children who were cast for this film were obviously picked for their looks only, as none of them displays any trace of talent, as evidenced by their lifeless delivery of lines. The script seems to have been patched together from bits and pieces of the old gags, with some dreadfully unfunny new lines added. The direction is also terribly inept; it is quite obvious that Ms. Spheeris has no idea what she is doing. It is very sad to see a legendary comedy series thus desecrated. Those persons responsible for producing this disaster should be ashamed of themselves; this film is nothing less than a travesty.
