7/10
An underrated family gem that is an absolute must see
8 August 2023
The Little Rascals (1994) is a movie that I recently watched for the first time in a long with with my daughter on Tubi. The storyline follows our favorite group of neighborhood boys who are in a girl hating club...except one member, Alfalfa, whom loves Darla. The boys will make like for Alfalfa tough unless he can convince them to each their own, and they can be friends despite their differences.

This movie is directed by Penelope Spheeris (Suburbia) and stars Bug Hall (Baby Driver), Brittany Ashton Holmes (Humanoids from the Deep), Courtland Mead (The Shining), Mel Brooks (Spaceballs), Whoopi Goldberg (The Color Purple) and Daryl Hannah (Kill Bill).

These characters are brilliantly depicted and wonderfully capture their own magic while staying true to the feel of the original series. The characters are so entertaining that you wish the movie would never end. The acting was first rate and the props, attire and makeup were all perfect. I adored Froggy's voice and the dog was great from beginning to end. The dialogue is hilarious and the boys versus girl concept worked perfectly. The conclusion was brilliant for this genre.

Overall, this is an underrated family gem that is an absolute must see. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
