Movie Review

Movie Title: Bugsy Malone. Rated G. Musical. My all time favorite movie as a child. Cast is all children. It's a parody on the 1930's gangster films. The kids play adults, owning shops and homes. Wisecracking Bugsy Malone (Scott Baio) goes to work for speak easy owner, Fat Joe, to gain money to go to Hollywood with his singer and dancer girlfriend. Fat Joe's girlfriend (Jodie Foster) has eyes for Bugsy but Bugsy wants none of it. If that isn't enough, Bugsy must help Fat Joe save his business from a bootlegger who wants to run him out of town. But don't worry the bootlegged items aren't liquor, it is whipped cream. The last scene with all the kids throwing cream pies at each other is quite funny. And the movie has a happy ending. Items in movie I thought were neat: Pedal pushing mini cars and whip cream guns. (Though in general I do not like guns these are pretty harmless, and the ammunition yummy.)
