Quotes:

Peter Hatcher:[after Mrs. A's news about the baseball game with Big A] Yahoo! This is gonna be the best news of the century!
Farley Drexel 'Fudge' Hatcher:[mumbling sadly] But what about Uncle Feather?

Don't even bother

Everyone I knew growing up read at least one of these books if not all of them. However, this movie is an absolute joke of "bringing to life" these great stories. Peter was a kid we could all relate to but instead we are given a vaudeville interpretation of his life. Peter was always a little more mature for his age and always delved deep into his feelings on every topic. However, its hard to get to his feelings in this movie with the soundtrack for "Problem Child" playing in the background the entire time! Like I said in the intro, don't even bother wasting time with this movie. Not only is it an insult to our past but all I see here is Hollywood making a few bucks. Once again, Hollywood cannot do anything these days without being politically correct. Hollywood is no longer allowed to made a movie that doesn't include a minority. So what do they do? They change Jimmy Fargo into Peters black friend!! Why didn't they just add a black character? That would have been a lot less of a change then turning the Jewish Jimmy Fargo into an African-American.
