User Reviews

This is a great movie

This movie is great political, and has a deep point. But i could not stop laughing. Felix Herngren (Swedish dub) does all characters so good (he does all character by him self). And i am regularly against dubbing but this is really good work, and you get the point anyway. I highly recommend it! The songs they sing is really good work and is now very popular by kids in sixth grade (this movie is about sixth graders) but even if they don't get the point they seem to enjoy it and thats why this is a good family movie. But don't let to small children see it when it contains some material that can hurt. But i recommend you to See it and use the dubbing of your country and have a good time...
