This movie is the type of good clean adventure kids today need. Happy endings are rare these days and kids need to experience HAPPY !! A group of kids take on the responsibility of Slappy The Seal after being found mistreated. Again, I think children need to see more of this......the need for humans to have compassion and sympathy for others, and a desire to do the right thing. Soon Slappy becomes an integral part of their group and the movie depicts their adventures (imagine how hard it is to keep a seal from being discovered by your parents for example). Predictable, yes......a little thin plot-wise, yes, but sweet and lighthearted just the same.

I watched this movie four times already and counting when I babysit a little guy and I actually thought this was quite good, it was not perfect but it did have a lot of good scenes. However, the only good actors in that movie were B.D. Wong and Scarlett Pommers.

Maybe I'm just a softy but I thought this was a wonderful (and believable!) family film. The expressions on the children's faces when they first see Slappy was priceless -- and the final scene was nothing but laughs. I'm a literature college professor so I've read and seen my share of "stinkers". This one smells good!

So Stifflers mom is in this. But she does this accent. It's like half deaf person half Swedish. It distracts me. It's a good thing. This movie sucks.

Slappy and the stinkers is a children's movie that was released in the theaters, but is more of a made for TV quality film. The jokes are really juvenile and the style of the movie gives it a really cheesy effect, and no that isn't a positive thing.

I know this is just a movie, but the story is very unrealistic. If you ever find this movie in a store like Wal-Mart, you'll find it in a bin full of crappy discount movies on VHS. Bronson Pinchot does a good job with what he has to work with anyhow. Some of the child actors are okay, in fact, a couple have done more acting in Nickelodeon shows.

As I stated above, the quality is bad, though some of the acting is decent, and however they trained the sea lion is pretty impressive though. I think this movie does a good job at defining a message. That message is stay away from the discount bin and watch something much better.

After watching only 10 minutes of this movie with my 5 year old son, all I need to know is that he was laughing out loud almost continually, not to mention his mother. The child acting is not Oscar worthy. The adult acting is child like but for a kids movie it is perfect but none of that matters. The seal is a scene stealer. If you have a child who likes to see bad people do bad things stupidly and good triumph over ineptitude along with fart jokes and so on, then this is the movie for you! The script is packed jokes and situation comedy. I was apprehensive about watching it but I'm glad I did. Overall, I think this is worth a watch when you have over watched Up, Cars, How to train your Dragon and so on. PS, the dog deserves his own movie.

I AM NOT LYNNE BATES MY NAME IS RITCHIE LYNNE IS MY MOM IM JUST USING HER ACCOUNT! This is, without a doubt, the worst film ever made. I'm 12, and I have seen my share of cheesy comedies, Good Burger, Heavyweights and the rest. After seeing Good Burger I thought to myself "It cant get any more worse than this!". I was wrong. Terribly wrong. Slappy and the Stinkers is the worst family movie ever, I am even ashamed to say I have a watched-once-only VHS copy of it in my wardrobe that I got for my 9th birthday. The good thing is that it only lasts 76 minutes, IMDb have the running time wrong! I cannot list all the bad points, as there are so many obvious cheesy kid movie catches in it. In one scene, a man slips on a skateboard, crashes into a crowd of people, LITERALLY flies across the room, and lands in a large aquarium tank, and emerges with a octopus that looks its right out of "The adventures of Timmy the Tooth" stuck to his face! Give me a break! I really can't explain just how crap it is, you have to see it to believe it. Snap up a copy quick, it'll be in the 99cent video bin with Good Burger!

Slappy and the Stinkers is one of my 10 favorite all-time movies. My grandchildren and I have watched it over and over. In these days of sex, violence and objectionable language, it is so refreshing to find a movie that one can feel comfortable sharing with others, especially children. Slappy is a delightful and funny seal, being hidden (and disguised) by a group of youngsters, trying to protect him from those who would do him harm. A strict and unfeeling school master, along with gardener (Branson Pinchot) add to the enjoyment. Watch as once again good triumphs over evil! Clean, wholesome and upbeat comedy, a good addition to one's video library.

This movie lacks one thing. Do you know what this is? Brains! In one scene a little boy is riding his bike up a hill, but the bike is carrying a bath tub and a seal in the bath tub! I don't think Hulk could do that! One word describes this story. Bad. A child could make up a better plot!

AAAAArgh!!! In this almost Disney "made for TV" production value movie, we are introduced to the"little child outcasts that could". They, while on field trip to a Sea World-like place, decide to steal a sea lion....right. It gets better, the guy from the Fox Tracey Ullman show was also trying to steal it using an electro shock prod. Anyhow, the kids pull off enormously "wacky" stunts and... well, go rent Free Willy. Other highlights include: Bronson Pinchot as the half-wit bus driver and an oriental man in American flag bikini underwear singing opera....No joke. Snap up a copy quick, it'll be in the 99 cent video bin with GoodBurger....

31/100. I realize it is a family oriented film, but that doesn't mean children don't have brains. It is needlessly inane, with that gross humor they so often put in films of this kind. (throwing up, farting etc.) It is a waste for everyone involved in the movie. The silly plot is just so far out there it makes you wonder what nitwit thought up something like this. With the poor grammar the children use, their misbehaving antics and their relentless defiance of authority, I hope most parents skip this one for their kids. There are so many creative and worthy family movies out there that are so much better than this. The quality of the movie is also well below par.

OK,this movie was total crap.the plot was stupid,the actors sucked,the cheesy action sequences were totally unrealistic,and the ending was total bull.WHO SERIOUSLY CAME UP WITH THIS STORY?!I'm a great believer in make believe and fantasy,but this was one of the dumbest and most unrealistic movies i have ever watched.seriously i cant believe i sat on my butt for an hour and thirty minutes watching a stupid and cheap movie like this.i believe this movie is totally unforgettable and a waste of anyones time.i could even make a home video more clever than this garbage!do not watch this movie!!!! it's a waste of everyone's time,including mine!!!!!!

I cannot understand the critics of this film. It clearly has an unbelievable plot and all the characters are caricatures of goodies or baddies, inept adults and triumphant kids - but that is where the humour lies. From start to finish it stands in the old fashioned slap stick and manic situation comedy movie genre. The fact that you can see some of the jokes coming does not stop them being funny at the moment of delivery. There are some superb slap stick movie moments. Mayhem abounds. It is not meant to be taken seriously. It does not pretend to be great cinema. It is not cool or sophisticated comedy. Woody Allen would and could not have made it. It should be seen for what it is, a wonderful, old-fashioned, family comedy which makes us laugh again and again and which can be enjoyed by all ages. I grew up on Jerry Lee Lewis and St. Trinians. I loved it.

Man. This movie has got it all. Cute kids. Fart jokes. A sea lion. What more do you need? I used to wonder if B.D. Wong had the chops to pull of a subtle comedy like this, and this movie proves he's got what it takes. Jennifer Coolidge shows she's more than just the dramatic actress so beloved in those Christopher Guest pseudo-documentaries and knocks this one out of the ballpark. That accent? Hilarious. Bronson Pinchot proves that he's more than just a one-trick pony with his portrayal of Roy. You can barely even detect his Meposian accent. Wow! And without going into too much detail, I'll just say that these kids worked great as a team. Move over, Li'l Rascals. There's a new group of youngsters in Cute City. Why these kids didn't get a series (Hello! "Slappy & the Stinkers: the Weekly Show") or at least a few MacDonald's ads is beyond me. Whatever. Sometimes I don't know what goes on in Hollywood to let talent like this slide. See this movie!

Love the movie but disappointed that I couldn't tell my daughter if the main character was still alive.
