An attempt to replicate the success of the 1920s - 1940s film series for modern audiences, THE LITTLE RASCALS is a lamentable enterprise which has completely the wrong look and tone. I admit freely that I didn't laugh a single time. This is merely a badly-acted, over the top production that utilises stupid special effects and child actors with little to no discernable talent. All of the warmth and charisma of the original stars is missing in these cheap imitators. The plot is merely a string of gags ripped off from the original short films, none of which are funny. I suppose most people will only be interested in it today for the Donald Trump cameo. It's a good example of everything that was wrong with 1990s-era Hollywood comedy.

Such an adorable movie with so much heart. Even for kid actors...the acting is so good!!! You can really see the emotion and connection of the friendships in the movie. This is such a feel good movie and it will always be one of my favorite movies because the characters are so sweet and so smart. I will always loove this movie and it is a great movie for kids and adults. It is a classic and it will always be a classic. These kids are so adorable and so cute and you can see that they are having fun and they have real chemistry with each other. Especially the little girl who is Darla in this is so cute and so likable and has such energy with her performance. I love this movie so much!

I am late to this film. I just saw it tonight with my ten-year old. He was familiar with it. I wasn't. Of course, I do know the source material well, since I grew up in the sixties when the old "Our Gang" and "Little Rascal" comedies were used to fill TV time.My own opinion of this film now barely counts, because I've seen the surprisingly large number of user reviews showing a level of tenderness and emotion about this movie that I find touching. Plus, my ten-year old loves it. After watching this film, and considering my first reaction, then after reading the positive user reviews and my child's own love for this film, I say who cares what I think . . . a movie that is able to touch so many as this one did can't be all bad.

Little Rascals is a movie that is filled with childlike grudges, wars, competition, camaraderie and reconciliation. Every great group has had to overcome obstacles in order to develop and maintain their strength. The He- Man Women Haters Club is filled with tension and animosity towards members between the group and the infamous Darla that snatched the heart of Alfalfa.Loyalty is very important to the members of the He-Man Woman Haters club. Although Alfalfa is tested and tried throughout the movie by his comrades and his childhood crush; he prevails. Spanky, the best friend of Alfalfa is infuriated by the discreet passions that his friend Alfalfa possesses for the young lady Darla. Throughout the movie, Darla and Alfalfa try to establish a bond, but they are always interrupted, whether it is by pranks of Women's Hater's Club, or rich guys such as Waldo that crept into Darla's life to take away the feelings that she had for Alfalfa.Often, in the movie the producer showed a great sense of the lack of knowledge or understanding that kids possess and how they often think without speaking. It was funny to see how the kids wanted to meet the race car driver at the end of the championship and to see how they were disgruntled because they expected to see a man. Surprisingly, the person that presented the prize to the Woman Haters Club, was the person that the gang had desired to meet along. The surprise just lied in the fact that the person was a woman and not a man. Not to mention, Spanky's disgust for women was challenged when he asked the female race car driver to give him a kiss on his cheek.Movies such as Little Rascals are rarities in 2011. Most of the films that we see today are filled with sex, violence, and theft. Even the kids are the ones committing the very acts in the movie, and it is saddening. One of my favorite movies of all time that has a similar prank-like feature assimilated into the film is "Home Alone". The movie Home Alone is filled with pranks and laughter for the entire family and if you enjoyed Little Rascals, you will probably enjoy. Home Alone.
