BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

torinirpaw Many people appear to be assuming that this movie is trying to take its premise seriously, when in fact it's mostly making fun of itself. It's stupid for the sake of being stupid. Pie in the face sort of humor. If you don't like laughing at very obvious jokes then this is definitely NOT a movie you are likely to enjoy. There are a number of well placed hidden gems though, like the "fart containment unit" that is absolutely a ghostbusters reference.At it's core, it's a movie that most people love. An outcast child who meets a truly accepting friend who is also an outcast, and then the two work together to turn their differences into a gift rather than a weakness. A fairly standard underdog type movie.

Peter Lind I honestly don't understand the negative reviews of this film. The film is silly, the acting is over the top, the entire premise of the film is that a boy farts a lot - how can anyone expect that it should be seen as anything serious?I think that the movie is funny - silly, yes, but still funny. It is also touching, and actually has a quite heartwarming story about friendship, about being special, and about turning your uniqueness from a weakness into a strength. It is also a critique of adults, and their tendency to lie, cheat and misrepresent everything for their own gain. There is a small scene set in a courtroom, where a metallurgist is pressed to express opinions beyond his professional knowledge, and to me it conveys how everything in the adult world is about politics and power, rather than about friendship and respect as in the children's' world.I also find it interesting that just as the main character describes every experience as either "the worst day of my life, ever" or "the best day of my life, ever" - the reviewers seem to think that this is the worst piece of film, ever - or the best ever.It may not be the best film ever, but it is great fun, nice for an afternoon's laugh, and just so plain silly that you can't but smile at every single scene or character.Enjoy!

tanispero Has quite a few spoilers. Read at your own risk I didn't watch this movie in quite a while but I do remember a few things that upset me in this movie. First of all when the baby (Patrik) is blown out of his mother's stomach you can clearly see that it's a doll and when the doctor holds him you see its a real baby. (Okay so that was hard to fake so it's more forgivable) but shortly before he's born you see his sister sitting there reading a book. How old is this girl? Four? A girl her age is not supposed to witness these kinds of things. And the whole spacecraft-agency thing kinda upset me because of the names they used. Such as Zeus. Call me a nerd but I know about some of NASA's history (through an audio book) and from what I recall there were no such names in their programs. And if they were able to use footage from one of the Apollo launches and get mock ups of their uniforms why couldn't they call their agency and space craft by their real names? And the fact that kids run things there is stupid and upsetting as well. Regarding his world travels, when sir John invites Patrik to join him to go around the world he asks 'other countries?' and sir john stutters and says 'yes' as if its not the most important detail. And Patrick says so easily that he agrees. How naive can this kid get? He barely knows the man and he could have abducted him. And when he gets Allen's letter and asks his father about it he just closes the door at his face. (That's why he agreed to go in the first place) But that's just insensitive. What the heck? What was that good for? (The door thing) and in the trial after the number one tenor in the world dies it's obvious that everyone is conspiring against him and lying even though they are supposed to be under oath. The only guy who's trying to help him is being shut up partially because he doesn't listen to opera. Where did this conspiracy come from? He's just a kid! What do they want from him? And one more thing. There's something weird about Patrick in general and i'm referring to his face. In the end when he's in space and the camera focuses on his face he looks like he has down syndrome because his eyes look kind of slanted like some of them do. And i'm like what? Maybe the actor has down syndrome?... But maybe that's just me. Anyway i'm sorry for the rant. I just wanted to get it out of my system and tell you guys what I think of this movie and i'm sorry this review was so long

jccurtis-1 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!
