Ten-year-old boys will probably find "Thunderpants" the funniest film imaginable. Most viewers whose playground days are behind them, however, will turn up their noses at a comedy adventure about a boy with uncontrollable flatulence.

Farting is the equaliser of the world, as we know, but as a subject for film, farting offers many traps. Less so, however, if the film is honest and is aimed at a smart audience of 8 - 12 year olds, who understand the true humanising value of a fart.

This movie should be shown in prisons so that inmates have a good reason to never return.

It took us a while to find this film online to stream, but it was well worth the search. This is the best movie ever. Way ahead of its time. It is a shame that the main actor did not have a successful career as he was excellent. There are some big names that play in this movie which is quite impressive.

It's a movie about a boy with a disability that, even though he is persecuted by school mates, family and so-called friends that offer him help and lie, he rises above it and accomplishes his dream, all because of friendship. A must see in my opinion pow
