Pantaloncini a tutto gas

Yes, you either love it or hate it. Personally I loved it. It was refreshingly different. Did anyone fail to notice the "green" theme running throughout the movie. Can this be an allusion to something environmental? And I wonder if there was a deeper message. Never the less, it was very funny.

Although on the surface, this film seems nothing more than toilet humour, it carries a rather fragrant message those of us who view ourselves as odd or who do not fit in. It points to the value of our uniqueness, and for this, it should be applauded.

If you are an intellectual looking for style and class and a statement, you are looking in the wrong place, but if you are a human being who doesn't take him/herself too seriously and would like to just "let go" for an hour or so, DO see this very funny britcom.

this movie is called thunderpants. it is about someone who breaks wind a lot. and yet many people seem to only see a boy continually breaking wind.

the fact is, this movie has been misunderstood by most people. where they see a ridiculous and unrealistic story, I see a quirky, silly, and surprisingly un-fart-related tale of a boy trying to find his friend and them both fulfilling their ambitions. it does not show a story solely about flatulence; it uses flatulence as a basis for telling the story of the two best friends.

the acting is second rate, the plot is suitably silly, and I love the 'green theme' that is shown throughout. At some parts, it is actually very sad (but surprisingly, these seem to have been ignored by most people).

in my opinion, it tells the story really rather well. it doesn't take itself too seriously, it has some very big names in it, and it's really a shame that no-one seems to get it.

8/10

I thought the message of the whole movie was surprisingly good but I thought the film wasn't good. Rupert Grint proved, once again that he can be a comedian; it would be nice to see him in a role where he had to be serious. I thought the whole thing was awful. Maybe children age under 12 might like it but I thought it was stupid basically. I cringe when people make films like that, they are just bad. Although the film was bad in general I thought the acting was decent and the general message was good. Very occasionally it was funny. It was over the top and totally unrealistic which I like. I love films which dare to be different and don't follow the crown. It was original which was good. Although I have many good things to say about it I didn't enjoy it and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Patrick Smash is born with a terrible tendency to break wind in the most outrageous fashion, bringing the poor lad all kinds of problems. But, as they say, it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good, and Patrick learns that there may be more this than he thought... An excellent kids' film - this will have them laughing. Bruce Cook, a newcomer to the screen, performs well, and is ably supported by a cast that includes Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley in Harry Potter), Stephen Fry, Simon Callow and Celia Imrie.

I enjoyed it and would recommend to to anybody looking for a bit of escapism. Thunderpants, at it's core, is just a story of hope, wrapped up in a ridiculous storyline. For me, it's simplicity, was the best bit.

Even better, along the way, it finds time to mock José Carreras & Plácido Domingo and poke fun at everything from the British legal system to NASA to duplicitous individuals. And finally, one the movie's best touches is, it creates a world were kids are more than equal of their adult counterparts.

I can't help but feel that a lot of people who saw this film took it alittle too seriously :), it is after all supposed to be, well.... fun.
