Thunderpants (2002)

I am shocked and very disappointed that most of the the world has no sense of humour whatsoever. It's a most pitiful indictment on humanity that a fun, silly little kids movie like this could be scorned by so many and scored so lowly on IMDb. This movie doesn't really deserve a score of 10 but I feel that I need to somehow redress the balance on this film which I have enjoyed many times over.I recall when this film was released that there were a number of good reviews published in various newspapers and it was mainly shown in the more "Arthouse/Independent" cinemas around Sydney. I never got around to seeing it until a few years later when I rented it on video. I loved it, and it was one of those films that I tried to get as many of my friends to check it out as well.This is a film that I would suppose would be most suited to young boys who love a good fart joke, but some of us never grow out of that. The film has an excellent cast, (you'll recognise many of the adults), and the set designs are an absolute blast.One of my favourite kids movies.

I will be the first to admit that when I was about (damn, I forget the year) 7 or 8 years old I absolutely loved this movie. Now however this movie is terrible.So what is the plot of this movie. Simple, a kid happens to break wind repeatedly for the entire running time. Aside from that everything else from this ability getting him to score the highest note in an opera, leading to him traveling all over the world doing this (I swear I'm not making this up) and him accidentally killing another opera singer, to him being able to fuel a rocket and fulfill his dream of becoming an astronaut (as well as a hovercraft earlier on). I CANNOT BELIEVE I LIKED THIS CRAP.With a premise like that nothing could save this movie. I like family movies (for a fact I'm just starting to) just as long as they're entertaining to an adult mind. This however is only entertaining to little kids that like fart jokes. If you hate fart jokes then you'll find no entertainment value in this whatsoever, if you don't like fart jokes being the only jokes then you'll hate this movie.Now if you'll excuse me, thinking about this movie (and my liking of it) has made me cringe. Now I gotta stay away from all the websites I'm registered on for the entirety of today in shame.

Great film..made for kids of a certain age.Maybe it should have been "re-branded" as Thunder Fanny in the US to avoid any misunderstanding that the film is primarily about fart.I am quite amused by how serious and this film has bee watched and how earnestly it has been reviewed. There are numerous reviews that have given it 1 star with the title "I couldn't stop laughing" and went on to justify the mark with "but because the film was so bad...it had constant repetitive fart references" but my favourite is this little Gem "Typical British though and basically typically European and other non American countries to have a "comedy" which has more sadness and brutality in it than anything funny. I do not recommend this film at all"It reminds me of when my 3 year old got upset at the beginning of Ice Age because the squirrel couldn't get his nut! In summary...Not a Classic, not a joyous exploration into the dreams and aspirations of 8-12 year old..Just a funny film about Farting

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!
