Movie Review

Movie Title: The Little Rascals. There's the movie, rated PG (but a mild PG, the actors are a group of kids), based on Hal Roach's beloved characters and there's the real thing. Hal Roach's 1930's "Our Gang" shorts. Both are cute and romping good fun. The movie and film shorts are about a bunch of kids who get into one mess or another. And if the kids aren't getting into a mess they are competing for something or putting on a show. In many of the episodes Spanky is the pack leader with Alfalfa as his sidekick. Alfalfa is my favorite character. He's a boy with a cowlick who sings off key. Other main characters are Darla (Alfalfa's love interest), Buckwheat, Porky, and Pete the dog. The plots are simple and most endings have everything turning out okay.
