Benjamin Franz Film Threat If you enjoy small-scale rock musicals, then seek out The Rumperbutts. If you are already a fan of Mates of State, then this film is definitely for you. Overall, it is quite a delightful little gem. Rated: 7/10 Feb 10, 2022 Full Review Evan Dossey Midwest Film Journal Good music and good humor Nov 19, 2021 Full Review Sherilyn Connelly SF Weekly Marc Brener's The Rumperbutts is a well-meaning musical-fantasy that never quite comes to life. Aug 24, 2017 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Hammel and Gardner are pleasant enough company, but neither possesses earth-shaking charisma nor real acting ability, save a lot of slacker attitudinizing.

ranny l The Rumperbutts was interesting and fun to watch, but it's geared for an older audience than me. I did like the storyline a lot and the editing is great. My favorite bit is probably the music. Yeah, definitely the songs - some are a little corny (the Rumperbutts ones), but some are actually really, really beautiful. Bonnie (Kori Gardner) and Jack (Jason Hammel) met in 2005, formed a band and started dating. Three years later, they became partners on a popular kids' show, The Rumperbutts. The show made them break up and become miserable and they still had another THREE years on their contract! Then, they both are invited to meet with a guy named Richie (Josh Brener) who tricks them into smoking magical pot which sends them on an unexpected journey. The acting in this is one of the highlights. I especially like the performances of Josh Brener as Richie and Kori Gardner as Bonnie. Kori Gardner has a gorgeous voice and the songs are quite beautiful. Some of the songs have nice messages like "listen to your parents." Josh and Kori really embody their characters in a way that is very fitting. I also really like the costumes. Julia Knapp made the Rumperbutts costumes which are the funniest ones in the movie. The photography and editing are really good and the animation when Richie snaps his fingers and the setting changes is excellent. I like the plot. The storyline is well thought out and well written, planned and directed. It has multiple sets that are all really good. The message of the film is: you made your bed, now you have to lay in it. You should be aware that there are some curse words in the movie and there is pot smoking. I rate The Rumperbutts 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 16 to 18, plus adults. The Rumperbutts releases on digital November 19, 2021. Go check it out! By Alma K., KIDS FIRST! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Such a fun farce.
