Thunderpants Audience Reviews

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
mklinsao This was actually the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. I watched it when I was, like, 11, so it's not like I was expecting sophisticated, polished comedy. It was just absolute sh**, and the more I thought about it, the more I hated it. I don't know exactly why, but it made me sick to the stomach, and it had nothing to do with the excessive flatulence. I'm typically a huge fan of really bad comedy (e.g., the Scary Movie franchise) and movies that are so bad, they're good, but this was just sh**. I don't know why the hell an actor like Rupert Grint would decide to do this as a side project between Harry Potter installments, but it kind of pisses me off that he did because his presence was the main reason I wanted to see the movie in the first place. Anyone who gave this film above a three-star rating is dead to me.
melgingrich 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.
stephen-macbeth A fantastic film that uses toilet humour to spread the message that it is OK to be different.Pebbledashed with fart references and farting, this film is a breath of cabbage filled air wafting through the rose fragranced industry.The main film may be toilet based humour however the underlying message that being different to the crowd is OK is worth spreading in many ways.Whilst not everyone will be amused by the fart jokes, many many people can identify with Patrick's struggle about being different.I laughed out loud through the whole film, and liked it so much I bought the DVD.
buffyologist I find it very hard to understand why this film is #89 on th IMDb bottom 100 movies. Although the initial premise of a boy with huge gas problems may not sound appealing, it's actually a good film. Quality acting from all involved (including Rupert Grint, and a tiny teensy role for Keira Knightley), and a sweet central storyline of the two boys friendship. It's obviously not taking itself too seriously, and the only reason I can think that people wouldn't like it is because they expect too much of it. Kids will love it. Adults will find it amusing. And I adored the colour scheme! The continued green theme gave the film an original edge that sets it apart from typical 'kid' films. A good one to watch on a rainy afternoon.
