Just perfect...

Fantastic!

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

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

I'm sorry not to read one other person - particularly a parent - complain about the last 20-30 minutes of this film. It went from a fairly inane-but-likable kids movie to a unbelievably stupid and profane film that I wouldn't show to any little kid. As soon as the "action" switched to the space command headquarters the language went with a number of Lord's name in vain instances include a loudly pronounced "GD" by the nerdy kid played by Rupert Gint. What kind of sleazy writers would put this stuff in? I thought Hollywood had no sense of decency but apparently Great Britain is just as bad, if not worse. American actor Ned Beatty led this verbal assault, which is no surprise, but all the religious cheap shots with his character was another typical thing we've seen in films for almost a half-century. When they start cropping up in "kids films," however, that's pretty low. The hero of this film - the kid with huge farting problem - says "ass" about a dozen times, too. I say all the above because I had watched a half of an hour of this when a friend called. I told him about the film and he asked if it was safe for his grandchildren to see and hear. At that point, I hadn't heard anything offensive. Well, I'll call him back and inform him.It's too bad it was a funny film, a takeoff on a couple of past films like "The Right Stuff," and was so corny, so stupid that it was funny. And, what true male doesn't laugh at the sound of a good fart? So, males and kids would laugh at this movie just for the audio highlights! But to see this film disintegrate the last half hour with all the PG material - none of which were necessary - was sad.

I enjoyed it and would recommend to to anybody looking for a bit of escapism. Thunderpants, at it's core, is just a story of hope, wrapped up in a ridiculous storyline. For me, it's simplicity, was the best bit.Even better, along the way, it finds time to mock José Carreras & Plácido Domingo and poke fun at everything from the British legal system to NASA to duplicitous individuals. And finally, one the movie's best touches is, it creates a world were kids are more than equal of their adult counterparts.I can't help but feel that a lot of people who saw this film took it alittle too seriously :), it is after all supposed to be, well.... fun.
