Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

31/100. I realize it is a family oriented film, but that doesn't mean children don't have brains. It is needlessly inane, with that gross humor they so often put in films of this kind. (throwing up, farting etc.) It is a waste for everyone involved in the movie. The silly plot is just so far out there it makes you wonder what nitwit thought up something like this. With the poor grammar the children use, their misbehaving antics and their relentless defiance of authority, I hope most parents skip this one for their kids. There are so many creative and worthy family movies out there that are so much better than this. The quality of the movie is also well below par.

I AM NOT LYNNE BATES MY NAME IS RITCHIE LYNNE IS MY MOM IM JUST USING HER ACCOUNT! This is, without a doubt, the worst film ever made. I'm 12, and I have seen my share of cheesy comedies, Good Burger, Heavyweights and the rest. After seeing Good Burger I thought to myself "It cant get any more worse than this!". I was wrong. Terribly wrong. Slappy and the Stinkers is the worst family movie ever, I am even ashamed to say I have a watched-once-only VHS copy of it in my wardrobe that I got for my 9th birthday. The good thing is that it only lasts 76 minutes, IMDb have the running time wrong! I cannot list all the bad points, as there are so many obvious cheesy kid movie catches in it. In one scene, a man slips on a skateboard, crashes into a crowd of people, LITERALLY flies across the room, and lands in a large aquarium tank, and emerges with a octopus that looks its right out of "The adventures of Timmy the Tooth" stuck to his face! Give me a break! I really can't explain just how crap it is, you have to see it to believe it. Snap up a copy quick, it'll be in the 99cent video bin with Good Burger!

I cannot understand the critics of this film. It clearly has an unbelievable plot and all the characters are caricatures of goodies or baddies, inept adults and triumphant kids - but that is where the humour lies. From start to finish it stands in the old fashioned slap stick and manic situation comedy movie genre. The fact that you can see some of the jokes coming does not stop them being funny at the moment of delivery. There are some superb slap stick movie moments. Mayhem abounds. It is not meant to be taken seriously. It does not pretend to be great cinema. It is not cool or sophisticated comedy. Woody Allen would and could not have made it. It should be seen for what it is, a wonderful, old-fashioned, family comedy which makes us laugh again and again and which can be enjoyed by all ages. I grew up on Jerry Lee Lewis and St. Trinians. I loved it.

Man. This movie has got it all. Cute kids. Fart jokes. A sea lion. What more do you need? I used to wonder if B.D. Wong had the chops to pull of a subtle comedy like this, and this movie proves he's got what it takes. Jennifer Coolidge shows she's more than just the dramatic actress so beloved in those Christopher Guest pseudo-documentaries and knocks this one out of the ballpark. That accent? Hilarious. Bronson Pinchot proves that he's more than just a one-trick pony with his portrayal of Roy. You can barely even detect his Meposian accent. Wow! And without going into too much detail, I'll just say that these kids worked great as a team. Move over, Li'l Rascals. There's a new group of youngsters in Cute City. Why these kids didn't get a series (Hello! "Slappy & the Stinkers: the Weekly Show") or at least a few MacDonald's ads is beyond me. Whatever. Sometimes I don't know what goes on in Hollywood to let talent like this slide. See this movie!
