My kids, husband and I were not happy about the many times God's name was used in vain. This movie was obviously geared toward children, what adult would rent a movie like that? Why does anyone feel the need to say G.D. so many times in a movie, ESPECIALLY in a children's movie!!!! I am convinced there is a conspiracy to indoctrinate children to think that calling God's name in vain is completely okay. It's not! I would like to hear the comments of the writers or the director about this. Why did they think it was okay to do this. The fact that I have to write 10 lines of context in order to get my point across is stupid too. I could have done it in two lines.

This movie is a horrible, abysmal, awful, disgusting, sickening, stupid, senseless, childish, idiotic, just plain bad movie. There are probably many more adjectives I could use to describe this movie that I can not think of. First of all, the main actor (the farting boy) is awful in his role. It's not believable or funny, and when you listen to him talk, you feel like slapping him in the face. This movie is extremely childish with a stupid plot, and is totally ridiculous! For anyone who even considers seeing this train wreck of a movie, let me just say, THINK TWICE! So basically, I don't like it, and don't see it! EVER!

I really cannot understand the slating this film has had from some of the other commentators. This film is somehow in the bottom 100 IMDb films when it's a lot funnier and more enjoyable than most of the top 250, and for my money, that equates to "better". It has few special effects, CGI or otherwise, but refreshingly has invention, wit and warmth instead, and some super acting at least from the younger cast members. I found Patrick Smash convincing enough to engender a great deal of sympathy, and he becomes a very British sort of a hero. Young genius Alan A Allan is a cross between Patrick Moore and Alan Turing, and would have won WWII single handedly.Patrick's sister is very, very funny, and the episodes with the school bully and his entourage are well done, and bring back some scary memories.The whole film is "tongue-in-cheek", the car included: think of MIB, compare with the idea and budget of Thunderpants and you'll maybe see why the car looked the way it did. What do you want, another "Gone with the Wind"?

'Tis a shame how this film got such a pathetic rating on IMDb and ended up on the bottom 100. This film proves that fart humour is still as strong as it ever was, with its rich characters, hilarious situations and original script. Of course, it isn't going to win any Oscars, but it makes for a hell of a laugh, and you really get to know and care about Patrick in a really short space of time - it took 10 minutes for me to get interested in the film. None of the special effects are bad either - not even the outer space scenes are badly done. I don't really care what anybody else thinks - I think Thunderpants is a great British kid's film, that will entertain anyone. Of course, it is as predictable as hell, but which film isn't these days? At least it is understandable and not insulting, and actually carries a very important message that you should ruminate on after the film finishes.This is fart humour at its very best, and should really be a high 6 or a low 7. So I say this to every IMDb voter - get Thunderpants off the bottom 100! 9/10 P.S. To everybody who gave this a 1 - I'd like to see you make your own films and see how bad they truly are before you mouth off about other people's work.
