Review
Like many other (and I do mean many) movies adapted from television, this was based off a classic without any of the original members (not even a cameo). But even with those strikes against it, does the film have any hopes of doing something decent? In a few words...Meh. While the actors try at least to do something useful with their performances, the film isn't really memorable or even that fun. Youngsters will like it, but others might not as well. It made me ask a few questions though: Why is it they even have a club in the first place? Wouldn't their mothers object to it? What's with the random cameos? Why would a rich kid compete in a little car race? Why does Alfalfa's clothing remind me of the Doctor? And why am I asking questions? But oh well.
Overall, I give it 5 out of 10 stars.
