    it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

    The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

    An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

    When I was a kid, this was one of my favourite children's game shows, well, it was one of my favourite shows on CITV. Hosted by Pat Sharp, quite often mentioned for having a large mullet during the first few years, it basically sees two teams of two child contestants competing in three messy, filled with gunge, games to win points. There would also be questions for more points, before moving to a go-kart grand Prix, racing for points, and whoever won would be the team going into the Fun House, a large indoor play area. They have two minutes to make their way through the Fun House, going through obstacles and mini challenges, and on the way collecting tags for prizes, including the Power Prize which meant a holiday with a correct answer to a question. Obstacles in the Fun House included the Wild Slide, Sneaky slip 'n' Slide, the Ball Run, the Fireman's Pole, the Crawl Tube, the Balloon Tunnel, the Monster Maze, the Bob Sleigh, the Danger Net, the Climbing Net and the Giant Steps. I think there was a part of me watching wishing that I was playing the game, i.e. being inside such a great looking indoor play area like that, and obviously for the prizes, the gunge of course looked hilariously gross, a good fun show. Very good!

    The prizes on Funhouse were the sort of things you would make friends with a loner kid just so you could use them: Gameboys, water guns, go karts, horses..the lot. How the illusion is broken now that we realise that the keeper of the goodies, Pat Sharp, looked like an utter knob with his humongous mullet and the two blonde twins (who we were told, and accepted, were 'pretty ladies') probably were the only twins in the whole of Dagenham not pregnant with David Essex's babies. They were actually fairsome skank. Twas a whole lotta fun though, prizes there were to be won and, yea, in order to win the game, both the body and brain were necessary tools.

    Seriously now 'Fun House' was probably the best kids game show in Britain. If it were up to me i would have fun house put back on the air once again. It would be mad bigger, better and more WACKY! I mean what more do you want as a kid than to be turned loose in a crazy house full of mazes, to be toped off with a wheel spinning fun time on the go carts at the end.If you were lucky you might have been gunged on the show! Great stuff I say. Fun House to me is a whole lot of fun, a big thumbs up adventure and prizes to be wonDON'T KNOCK IT (people who have bad stuff to say about fun house have serious issues)p.s I love Pat Sharps mullet it made the show better.

    "'Fun House, it's a whole lot of fun, with prizes to be won, It's a real crazy show where anything can go!' Pat Sharp with the aid of two blonde twins Mel and Martina host this well, fun, children's game show. The show was originally American format and was shown on ITV in the early 90's.Pat guides two teams of two children, normally from the same school, into the first few, typically children's quiz rounds, where the team members take it in turns to answer questions and avoid getting covered in gunge.Then in the next round, the teams compete in the fun house grand prix where they race around the fun house set picking up bonus points. The team which has picked up the most points from all the rounds, then goes on to the best round...the fun house itself! The kids then take it in turns, in the given three minutes, to race around the fun-house and pick up as many prize cards as they can, and bring them back to Pat. One of the prize cards is the power prize which is the super duper best prize in the game, although the contestants don't know which card it is, or where it is. (Although we do at home.) When they pick the card up they hear a cuckoo! Very fun children's game show!" The Editor
