Best movie of this year hands down!

Touches You

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I am shocked and very disappointed that most of the the world has no sense of humour whatsoever. It's a most pitiful indictment on humanity that a fun, silly little kids movie like this could be scorned by so many and scored so lowly on IMDb. This movie doesn't really deserve a score of 10 but I feel that I need to somehow redress the balance on this film which I have enjoyed many times over.I recall when this film was released that there were a number of good reviews published in various newspapers and it was mainly shown in the more "Arthouse/Independent" cinemas around Sydney. I never got around to seeing it until a few years later when I rented it on video. I loved it, and it was one of those films that I tried to get as many of my friends to check it out as well.This is a film that I would suppose would be most suited to young boys who love a good fart joke, but some of us never grow out of that. The film has an excellent cast, (you'll recognise many of the adults), and the set designs are an absolute blast.One of my favourite kids movies.

This film is not only a black comedy but also offensive with it's bullying of the children. The hitting of a child is abuse whether it is actual or representational. Also, the whole death row idea is so wrong. There is no glorification of the abominable and barbaric reaction of putting a person to death for any crime. When you do, you are no better than the murderer to begin with. It also has zero place in a supposed comedy. Typical British though and basically typically European and other non American countries to have a "comedy" which has more sadness and brutality in it than anything funny. I do not recommend this film at all.

this movie is called thunderpants. it is about someone who breaks wind a lot. and yet many people seem to only see a boy continually breaking wind.the fact is, this movie has been misunderstood by most people. where they see a ridiculous and unrealistic story, I see a quirky, silly, and surprisingly un-fart-related tale of a boy trying to find his friend and them both fulfilling their ambitions. it does not show a story solely about flatulence; it uses flatulence as a basis for telling the story of the two best friends.the acting is second rate, the plot is suitably silly, and I love the 'green theme' that is shown throughout. At some parts, it is actually very sad (but surprisingly, these seem to have been ignored by most people). in my opinion, it tells the story really rather well. it doesn't take itself too seriously, it has some very big names in it, and it's really a shame that no-one seems to get it.8/10

'Tis a shame how this film got such a pathetic rating on IMDb and ended up on the bottom 100. This film proves that fart humour is still as strong as it ever was, with its rich characters, hilarious situations and original script. Of course, it isn't going to win any Oscars, but it makes for a hell of a laugh, and you really get to know and care about Patrick in a really short space of time - it took 10 minutes for me to get interested in the film. None of the special effects are bad either - not even the outer space scenes are badly done. I don't really care what anybody else thinks - I think Thunderpants is a great British kid's film, that will entertain anyone. Of course, it is as predictable as hell, but which film isn't these days? At least it is understandable and not insulting, and actually carries a very important message that you should ruminate on after the film finishes.This is fart humour at its very best, and should really be a high 6 or a low 7. So I say this to every IMDb voter - get Thunderpants off the bottom 100! 9/10 P.S. To everybody who gave this a 1 - I'd like to see you make your own films and see how bad they truly are before you mouth off about other people's work.
