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. Go to Full Review Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media 08/21/2020

Fart jokes galore in warmhearted kids fantasy adventure. Go to Full Review Urban Cinefile Critics Urban Cinefile 12/08/2002
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Sean W Mar 30 Worlds collide when the original source of humour (flatulence) meets ambition beyond the sky, delivering a refreshing blend of lighthearted laughs and hard earned success. It is worth a watch, especially if you're roughly ten years of age, (even if only internally). I am glad to have watched this when I was that age, and it holds up to this day thanks to the remarkable production and notable cast.

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.
