    I loved this movie

    I used to watch this movie in school when I was young and I always loved it. My friends and I still talk about it sometime. Sure, the acting may not be top notch but that has nothing to do with the message and good feeling that the movie portrays. I can't see how anyone can say this movie is one of the worst they've seen. It might not be the best but I've seen far worse.

    cinematic treasure

    One of the great masterpieces of our time, the buttercream gang takes a subtle approach to such important issues as the aryan nation, homo eroticism between childhood friends, and cheese. Younger viewers may not pick up on these themes and appreciate the movie as its makers intended- a commentary on how ideal our world would be if we all were fundamentalist conservative christians. Some concerned parents will object to the risqué dancing scene, and secular music, but this is where the film finds its "edge." The riveting story of pete, scott, lenny and eldon will have every viewer at the edge of their seat. Will the widow jenkins fall down again? will another flower bed fall victim to the harrowing actions of pete and his gang of troublemaker?? smiley face graffiti and broken bottles?? (you may want to cover the young ones eyes, these parts get pretty intense.) The climax of pete beating the p*ss out of canned goods is a moment in film history. So, strap on to this emotional roller-coaster if you dare, its worth the ride!

    Brainless Moralizing

    Don't get me wrong - I believe in morals, but this movie gives them a bad name. A good moral is no excuse to make a bad movie. Someone made this film to teach kids the value of good deeds and unconditional friendship, but it's so badly put together that nobody's going to associate that message with anything good. What really did it for me was the idea that a good small-town kid (who looks plenty old enough to be somewhat set in his values) could go off to the city and almost immediately come back with a new fashion statement, a bad attitude, and a very unconvincing stereotypical urban bad boy accent. Sheesh, at least avoid insulting our intelligence by allowing several years for this transformation.

    The film was very wonderful

    I believe this film was the best I have ever seen. I believe it a biblical lesson about loving others. One thing this film teaches that God wants us to do is to love our enemies. When one of the members of the buttercream gang, Pete, went to Chicago and joined a real gang that does nothing but commit evil, Pete really changes from a very good person who helps to a very mean person who harms. When Pete went back to chicago, he was mean until Scott made a difference in his life and changed him back to the good person that he was because he loved Pete even though Pete has hurt him. I believe the biblical lesson that this movie teaches us is to love your neighbor as you love yourself and that also means loving our enemies. I would recommend this movie to everyone.

    cinematic *gold*

    this movie is the most amazing piece of artwork i have ever seen. Did you notice that when Pete came back to Elk Ridge from Chicago he wanted to change his last name to Valdez? Those mormon screenwriters sure know how to make rascism funny. I really love this movie because it's reality based. You know, it really reminded me of the times in little league when i would stand up and start cheering "you got the right one baby!"

    5 RANDOM REASONS WHY THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING

    1. The women know their roles in family life 2. That ungrateful Widow Jenkins makes the boys do her shopping after they save her life....she really gets my blood boiling! 3. The word candy does not exist in Utah. It has been replaced with.....................TREATS!!!!! 4. The bad gang is very menacing....throwing rocks at bottles, setting trash on fire, ding dong ditching, 'kick me' signs on backs, you name it 5. 4-MAN choreographed huffy skid-outs!!!!!!!!

    if this stuff doesn't excite you then STAY OUTTA UTAH!
