Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Blistering performances.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I cannot remember a movie that had a bigger impact on me as this did. I have very faint memories of this movie.... but every memory was a dark one. I remember being very frightened of this movie, but also fascinated at the same time. I saw it very young, and i remember it being the result of most of my childhood nightmares. I feel there is something much larger involved with this movie. Perhaps mind control? Producing fears in young children. It blows me away that this movie is labeled a comedy. This was also a Canadian film, which got away with more that the U.S. could with its PG rating. It has everything from ghosts, child kidnapping, nightmares, hair falling out, dark images and references........ gives me the chills just thinking about it. I saw it recently and realized how much of an impact it could have on a undeveloped mind. Psycologicly i feel as though this movie was responsible for a lot of the fears i had growing up as a kid. Being an adult now, i decided to watch it. I remember it being a lot darker... obviously a child seeing this interprets it as much more than a family comedy because it is nothing like that to say the least. I feel as though a investigation into this movie should be made.IF YOU WANT TO WATCH IT TO REMEMBER THESE HORRIBLE MEMORIES OF YOUR CHILDHOOD YOU CAN SEE IT ON GOOGLE VIDEO.. SOMEONE PUT UP THE WHOLE ENTIRE MOVIE

Growing up, I watched this movie... and I liked it. I do not remember it scaring me so much as intriguing me with the idea of walking into a painting. I remember dreaming about having paintings like this and always thought they should have maybe done some more with the idea of people going into them...Anyway... point being... I have asked so many people over the years if they have ever heard of "The Peanut Butter Solution" and I believe, after asking close to 75 people (...literally, by the way, because I had asked during a giant college group process and there were about 50 people in my group at least) I have gone through High School and am in college and, other than my sister and I, I have found two people who know what this movie is, one of which couldn't remember the title but knew when I described it. I AM AMAZED THAT NO ONE KNOWS THIS MOVIE! I believe it is one of my favorite movies, not necessarily because of the fact that it is a fabulous movie you should run out and rent but because no one knows it. I have made it a point to make people watch it to become educated in its greatness. I own the VHS which is good, but I would love for it to be on DVD. I have become a silent crusader for this movie and have vowed to spread the joy of this movie.Watching it now is not the same as watching it then. The acting isn't the best and maybe the plot is off the wall but it is worth seeing. If anything, I think it is the best for something like a party or something where you can all just laugh at it. You have to be in the mind set for it, though, and you have to stay focused... it becomes a common thing then for you and your friends since NO ONE seems to have seen it. But I love it... and I recommend it. Its a classic.

i don't even remember how old I was when I saw The Peanut Butter Solution, but its memory has stayed with me and recurred for at least 15-17 years. This movie is genius, and seriously TRULY scary, and kids and adults should all see it, but for kids its better because you don't have pretensions yet so it will mess you up. As a child, it makes you think of the creepiest, most messed up things: men randomly appearing in your kitchen and intellectually seducing you, factories with children in cages while other children make paintbrushes out of their trapped comrades continuously growing hair... kidnap, being ostracized from your peers, permanently ... pubic growth... death, doom, and existential peril.. yeah, it's completely grim. which is what makes it such a great kids' flick. other movies cast a glow on even terrifying experiences. this movie makes you realize quickly, even as a child, that life is so thoroughly bleak that you will even try putting peanut butter mixed with a bunch of gross crap all over your head to make it better.

FinallY! And all those years I thought I was dreaming of this crazy film, my main memories would have to be the slide?? or did I imagine that, I mean I haven't seen this since I was 9 years old. Anyway the young boy goes up into this old beaten down house & slides down a slide of some sort when he lands he has no hair!who remembers this part? ha-ha someone please shoot me if I have this all wrong,id be terribly embarrassed if thats not how it goes at all but I do remember this part of the film being very spooky to me, especially being so young. I haven't been able to locate a copy of this anywhere, I found that not many people have seen this movie but I would very much love to see this again so if anyone has any idea where I could get a copy that would be great:-)
