The little rascals full movie genvideos7/11/2023 The stars - some of whom are cute but none of whom display any striking charm or ease in front of camera - ape antique adult stereotypes in a script written by committee. Spanky (Tedford, aged five) and his chums are "Womun Haters" and thus sworn to undermine lovelorn Alfalfa's (Hall, nine) courtship of Darla (Ashton Holmes, five). These Little Rascals - chiefly bossy Spanky, Alfalfa the Romeo, Buckwheat the nitwit, Darla the demanding dish, and Petey the dog - are deposited in a vague contemporary/yesteryear milieu in which neither costumes, kiddie cars nor vocabulary find a pleasing style. The original Little Rascals were the creation of legendary comedy producer Hal Roach, who made more than 200 shorts in the '20s and '30s featuring a gang of cheerful, pipsqueak pranksters. What sounded like a bad idea before it started shooting, proves such an atrocity that it makes her last effort, The Beverly Hillbillies, look almost Oscar-worthy. After the relative heights of Wayne's World, Penelope Spheeris' pictures are getting progressively worse.
