Le héros de la patrouille

My sister rented this when I was a kid. We watched and I had fun watching it and I really like the movie I also really loved Weird Al Yankovic in this movie. His song was so funny I really love this movie its really underrated and fun to watch and had a good story to it. I like the good characters also if I were you I would watch this film it is harmless and fun to watch big time.

I completely disagree with "tammy tillinghast". She said that this movie was a kiddie movie that it was vaguely entertaining. Maybe I'm just partial to kid's movies because I watch the Disney channel all the time, but I thought it was a good movie. It had some action and a chase with the "bad guys". I'll admit it's no thriller, but it's definetely a fun one to watch and chances are, your kids will like it, too.

Excellent film making. If any of you have ever read or even seen "To Kill A Mockingbird", you would know that "Scout" is not an uncommon name. The subtleties of this film run deeper than even the film I alluded to earlier. The safety patrol, into which the lad wants so desperately to get into is a metaphor for "the in-crowd". And if you wanted to take it a step further, you could assume the feat of connecting to the safety patrol could be equated to "connecting" with the cute girl in the film. The "Safety" in "Safety Patrol" obviously refers to the boy's mother, from whom he desperately wants to distance himself while at the same time, hang on to the secure touch of a girl his own age. The girl who some call a "whore", is absolutely adorable and deserves more roles in even better films (if there are better film out there). And one more thing: Leslie Neilson, my hat's off to you.

I can't believe they gave Leslie Neilsen second billing in this thing. I am obviously far too old for this genre of film, but my mother and I watched this because we both enjoy Leslie Neilsen. He's in the movie posters, but he's in the movie for like 15 seconds and has no impact on the plot whatsoever. He was hilarious when he was on, but he wasn't on long enough.

The film itself is not good. It was not a movie designed to expand pre-teens' perception of the world, or anything else. Overall, a weak effort from all involved.

I think everybody here is reading a little bit too much into what is your typical Disney Channel film. Director Savage Steve Holland hasn't changed much since his 80's fare like "Better Off Dead", only this time out the premise has moved from high school to junior high. Admittedly, the sexual undertones (the slutty look of the film's heroine) is a bit over-the-top for a film mainly aimed at pre-teens, and the kids I watched the film with found her to be hideous, so go figure. But Bug Hall turns in his usual solid performance, considering the relatively tepid material he has to work with. Lots of cameos from Weird Al Yankovic, Leslie Nielson, etc. and a totally campy role for Lainie Kazan, who's been in the camp camp since "Lust In The Dust". It's predictable stuff, yes, but harmless. And better entertainment that 99% of the garbage found on Nickelodeon.
