The Little Rascals is a classic. Or at least it will be, once it has been around long enough! It warms the heart of children and adults alike. The movie follows a group of small children through their adventures. It deals with the boys vs. girls mentality of that age, and shows what happens when one of the boys, Alfalfa, falls in love with a girl. The boys have a club called the 'He-man Womun Haters Club' that is dedicated to hating all girls. They have a set of rules that says none of the boys can talk to or be friends with a girl, or else. Alfalfa tries to win over Darla, his Juliet, without his friends catching on. This has the expected disastrous results, and the boys' clubhouse burns down. After this first crisis, it is one hilarious stunt after another. There are bullies, a rich competitor for Darla's affections, and cooties galore as the kids try to raise money for a new clubhouse and win a go-cart race. Eventually everything turns out as it should and the movie has a happy ending.
Given the young age of the actors, between four and nine, their performances are very good. The audience is taken in and believes in the lovable characters, rooting for them to succeed against the bullies. Whoopi Goldberg, Reba McEntire, and Mel Brooks make special appearances, but do not steal the show from the main focus- the kids. Definitely a recommended film if you're in the mood for something adorable and laughter inducing!
