When I was little, I liked this movie. I had only seen a few of the original Our Gang (Little Rascals) shorts and I didn't really know the difference between them. I watched this movie again recently and, I must say, it was horrible. I am sort of obsessed with the original Our Gangs, and this movie was nothing compared to them. A lot of people have said "The acting wasn't that great, but what can you expect, they're kids?" I say, they found kids for the originals that were genius actors, so why couldn't they find any for the movie? Also, why did they mix together all the different time periods? Mary Ann Jackson (the little girl with the bobbed dark brown hair) left the shorts long before Porky ever joined them and they were both in the movie. There were some good moments in the movie, like when Spanky's wig got pulled off by a tree, but the horrible acting and the way they messed with basically the whole idea of Our Gang overshadows the good moments. And now, when I mention in casual conversation that I like the Little Rascals, inevitably, someone will say "Oh, yeah, I liked that movie too!" and start singing "I've got a pickle, I've got a pickle!" or something similar. I'm being generous and giving the movie four out of ten stars because I liked it when I was little. I know I've gone on a long nasty rant, but that's really what I think about the movie. Also, I'm not sure if this has any spoilers, but I didn't want to be blacklisted, so I put the notice in, just to be sure.
