This movie is a legend in my neighborhood. Because one of the kids from my old school in my grade was one of the bullies. So, my classroom had to watch this. We were all wondering what he had been up too. This is the most exciting thing ever to happened in my neighborhood. Sad, isn't it? The movie "The Little Rascals" is adorable. But it lacks somewhere. The kids are all brats. I don't think I was even able to really enjoy the cameos. But this is more of a kid's film. Not a movie you'd watch as a grown up. But congats to Zac, he made it... somewhat. And the movie is enjoyable if you are 7. Otherwise, you'd might want to skip it.

5/10

Childhood favorite movie for me and the nostalgia vibes are still pretty strong but I don't think anyone needs to go pulling this one out of the vault. It's pretty problematic these days but I still kinda dig it.

The original Little Rascals movies were made for children but they never felt like it. There something about those movies that makes every age group enjoy them. I guess funny is funny. This "The Little Rascals" movie was made for children. That's the audience. There's nothing wrong with that. Fans of the original movies will get bored after a while. They won't get angry but they will lose interest. Younger children will get a kick out of it. That's fine with me.

A friend of mine has a son...who when he was little...looked exactly like Bug Hall..who plays "Alfalfa" in the film. She laughed herself silly watching it..and invited me over to see it as well. As someone who loved the old original "Our Gang" shorts...I was happy to go watch this. I thought it was funny, cute and very entertaining. Yes..it was silly as well..but it was about kids doing kid things. Granted..in a modern setting..kids doing these mischievous things would have been in major trouble with any adult that might have been passing by. Parents would have been notified...police called..well, you know the rest. However..there were very few parents in evidence anywhere during most of the scenes. Kids allowed to roam all over town alone? It just was not safe really...but in the "Our Gang" films it was O-Tay...bad guys simply did not exist as they do today. I imagine getting these little kids to do as the director wanted was not easy. Distractions would be everywhere on a movie set. I know in the originals they would say and do mean things to the kids to get them to cry on cue...that was long before there were rules and laws against it. In this..most of the kids looked like they were having fun. Hopefully, they were. Funny this is..none of this kids probably ever heard or saw any of the stuff the original kids did way back when until this film came into being. The casting was really good...especially "Spanky" and "Alfalfa"...they fit just right. Adding cameos with Donald Trump and Woopie Goldburg could have been left out...I wasn't quite sure why they were necessary here. It is a feel-good movie that I believe all kids will enjoy at least once..and when they have kids someday...they will like it too. I hope they do not do any re-makes of this film. It was kind of a homage to the old shorts...but now it has been done...so leave them alone. :)
