Reviews
Entertainment Weekly - ...A minor delight. By hewing closely to the spirit (and plotlines) of the Hal Roach comedies of the '30s and '40s, Spheeris fashions a remake that's easy to swallow...
Additional Information
Spanky, Alfalfa, Buckwheat, and the other characters made famous in the OUR GANG shorts of the 1920s and 1930s are brought back to life in this nostalgic children's comedy. Although the setting is the present day, the characters remain much the same, down to their old-fashioned clothing and their membership in the He-man Womun Haters Club. When Alfalfa (Bug Hall) starts to question his devotion to the club's principles after falling for the beautiful nine-year old Darla (Brittany Ashton Holmes), the rest of the gang sets out to keep them apart. An attempt to win the grand prize in a go-cart race also comes into play, providing opportunities for physical comedy, while Darla's and Alfalfa's story trades on the humour of innocent puppy love. Most critics found the film less a tribute to the original series of shorts than a blatant attempt to capitalize on the familiar name, though younger audiences may be entertained by the simple gags and child-like attitude.
Brought back lots of memories when i used to watch it with my son when he was very young he loved it .. myself and my sister watched this and it is still lovingly and cutely amazing and such a great child story.
