2.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining as a cartoon, but kind of dumb, January 4, 2009

This review is from: Wayside - The Movie (DVD)

My kids and I absolutely love the Wayside School books for their highly entertaining stories and for the joyfully clever ways they play with language and storytelling. Unfortunately, very little of that comes through to the movie. Sure, the movie fits in LOTS of elements from the books, but many of them are introduced inexplicably and have little role in the story. What's missing is the zany logic that makes the books so charming. If you know the books, you may enjoy the references, but the movie itself ends up being pretty standard cartoon slapstick. My five-year-old still enjoys watching it, but I was disappointed that the special intelligence and heart of Wayside School has mostly been lost.

1.0 out of 5 stars This sucks!!, December 17, 2011

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Wayside - The Movie (DVD)

I am a 9-year old kid, and I have read every single book of the Wayside School series. Everyone in my class was talking about the movie, so I wanted to see it. I got the movie and watched it. Guess what? The movie is a disgrace to Wayside School. I don't think Louis Sachar should have allowed this movie to be made. The movie had no stories that the book did, and nobody was how they were described in the book. There was hardly any humor, and it sucked. It was very disappointing.

This is a great DVD for children. The books are wonderful but the DVD is just as good. This DVD may inspire children to read the books too!
