Safety Patrol

This is probably the most far fetched and one of the stupidist movies i have ever seen. Yet for some reason, it caught my interest when it was priced for $3.99 at a supermarket. They were probably right when this was nothing more than a disney tv movie, but they still found a way to get it onto VHS. Anyway, the acting wasn't bad and bug hall is adorable...in a funny sort of way. And don't be fooled, Leslie Neilson has about the smallest part in this movie. Weird Al Yankovick had a small role but it was very funny. Altogether, Although this was probably one of the stupidist storylines in the world, the acting was well done and some of it was actually funny. I'd give it 2 out of 5 stars but it is worth a look, especially 4 kiddo's under 9.

Safety Patrol is the sort of movie you're either going to love or hate. Its definately aimed at younger audiences and there are plenty or cheesy or corny laughs but its not that bad. Leslie Neilson and Weird Al perform only SHORT cameos in the film but their scenes are worth watching.

I saw the film twice and on the second viewing I realised that for a B grade movie the humour does grow on you.

The movie is worth watching even if it's just for a few laughs. Good for the entire family.

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.

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 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.
