It was a good movie IMO, but there was one scene which I thought was a spoiler – but for that scene it could have been much more age appropriate and dropped from an M rating (its based on a kids show after all) – that being the masturbation inquisition scene. It didn’t offend me, but really, it was totally overdone and drawn out and as such completely out of context with the standards of the rest of the movie. They could have been much more subtle about it. Luckily my 11yo ‘gets it’, but it wasn’t that funny or relevant …

The closing scene was a little corny, but you get that, Yankee films and all that.

The cool thing was seeing it at the 1010 Sunday session at Cameo Belgrave – a total of 6 customers, no problems finding a seat …
