john w An absolute classic , if you don't enjoy this you need to go see your Doctor , it may be you don't have a heart or a soul Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Harrison R What an incredible film. So weird. So good aside from its absurd premise. Reminded me of something Adult Swim would air right now, but made on film with total deadpan sincerity (and pre-Airplane!). Highly recommended. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review J O Read some of the more "modern" reviews, people cannot see the innocence of kids just being kids anymore….. First watched in the 80's, still hilarious, this world is going down the pan and the recent reviews show why.. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Nannie 4 This was the first movie I ever saw at the movie theater in 1976. It was a birthday party and we went to a movie theater as a group of kids. I loved the movie and I loved the songs. It was such a great movie and I was only 11 years old. I hadn't turned 12 yet. I will never forget the moment I got to go to a movie theater for the first time or seeing Bugsy Malone at the movie theater. Years later I got the soundtrack on EBAY, since it was a rare soundtrack. I had to get it from England. I still have the CD. I was so happy to get the movie on DVD years later. One of the best memories of my childhood. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review Cezary P An innovative perspective on a gangster film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/05/23 Full Review Luca B Two rival gangsters battle for turf and a new, strategically important armament during the Prohibition Era -- a cliché if the entire cast were not children. It's a great idea: children playing the parts of hard-hearted gangsters implies that many of plots of the classic gangster films depend upon adults' childish behaviour and the film deals with gangster violence creatively: director Alan Parker could not have some kids stabbing and shooting each other so, he had tommy guns fire cream pies however it's too boring to sit that long on one joke. Genius and fun. The problem, however, is that the plot falls apart in the second act. Fat Sam is losing his turf war, and he ends up recruiting the lower classes to stockpile his army, but these characters come out of nowhere. By the end of the film, it had broken all its own rules, and I could not help but feel quite disappointed. Overall, it is a great idea, but a great idea can only carry a film so far. The Music was Cheesy and, in some times, useful for the plot. Out of the cast Jodie Foster was the standout as she played the character quite well and the morale of the story of taking control of your own destiny was quite cliché Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
