Spanky, Alfalfa, Buckwheat, and the other characters made famous in the Our Gang shorts of the 1920s and 1930s are brought back to life in this nostalgic children's comedy. Although the setting is the... read more read more... present day, the characters remain much the same, down to their old-fashioned clothing and their membership in the "He-man Womun Haters Club." When Alfalfa (Bug Hall) starts to question his devotion to the club's principles after falling for the beautiful nine-year old Darla (Brittany Ashton Holmes), the rest of the gang sets out to keep them apart. An attempt to win the grand prize in a go-cart race also comes into play, providing opportunities for physical comedy, while Darla's and Alfalfa's story trades on the humor of innocent puppy love. Most critics found the film less a tribute to the original series of shorts than a blatant attempt to capitalize on the familiar name, though younger audiences may be entertained by the simple gags and child-like attitude. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

    The Little Rascals is one of those films that you really enjoy as a kid, but that unfortunately, doesn't stand the test of time. I remember loving this film growing up, and it was fun back then. However now in my adulthood, I'm recalling all the childhood favorites that are still... read more relevant today, and unfortunately, The Little Rascals doesn't live up to that reputation. The film suffers the same curse as other old, amusing family films that were fun when growing up, such as The Flintstones and Hook. They were all fun when I was young, but now, they feel quite pathetic, and inane. Watching this film, you say to yourself, why was this even funny? The jokes are stupid, the acting is awful, and really the film hasn't stood the test of time like so many other childhood classics. I think it's too bad because the film was a lot of fun to watch while growing up. But like I said, the film didn't stand the test of time, and doesn't deserve to be along the classics such as The Sandlot, Toy Story, Casper and E.T. This film is awful. Viewing it now, you realize how stupid it really is, and how pointless the film is. This is one of the few films that I liked when I was younger, that really hasn't aged well for me. The film is pretty stupid nowadays. The Little Rascals is one of those childhood films that you can easily forget about because the film isn't memorable or a classic. My favorite childhood film is The Sandlot, and that film is still a lot of fun today. Some childhood favorites remain relevant and others don't, and The Little Rascals is one of them. A stupid, low humor filled film that you'll be disappointed if you watch again in your adult years.

    THE LITTLE RASCALS was pretty funny, but it's definitely a kids' movie, and sometimes that is made too clear.

    I absolutely love this movie! It is so very much like the old Hal Roach short films form the 30s, in both the jokes and the characters, if you liked the old movies, you'll love this one. It also has a bunch of cameos from great actors to look for. This movie is hilarious and n... read moreostalgic, I love it and I highly recommend it.

    Watching these kids act and crack jokes is a joy. A must-see for kids and their families.

    Usually I post a quote from the movie at the end of my reviews. This time I'm going to post a short but very funny dialogue scene from the film. ENJOY!!!

    This movie is pretty good. They did really well at recreating the characters too fit the orginals, and it easily becomes a classic-comedy that is worth a watch from everyone in the family
