Slappy and the Stinkers

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.
