A Disappointing Continuation
Melanie Bouvet
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

I'm not going to give a review of the plot, except that Finn has money . . . that a big bad bully steals. This review is not about the story, it's mainly about how surprisingly dirty this film is. The film contain lots of male (boy) nudity and even little kids making out. When the bully's gang steals Finn's money they take off his pants (his buttocks completely shown) and draw on him. Later four more boys' bare butts are seen when they go swimming and are attacked by Finn's gang. Those boys are seen running naked around town. It's good . . . just pretty dirty.

I haven't seen the movie lately, but when I was a kid, before I saw E.T., it was my most favorite film to watch. I laughed my ass off many times, great kids movie. If you get the chance, watch it! With your kids. Its hysterical.The ways for him to get the money to buy this transistor radio. I remember seeing the radio and thinking: I want one like that as well. Knowing how it was to be a poor kid, and becoming very inventive to get the things you want. I could see a lot of me in him. Brings back memories.Good family film, worth watching

What an excellent movie. The acting, writing, costumes to name but a few things were fantastic. Interesting to note that Alison Barrett who did the casting is still around and has many fine casting credits up her sleeve including "Pricilla Queen of the Desert" and "Muriels Wedding". Some of the children who starred in the film have managed to continue with their acting careers - BEN OXENBOULD, REBECCA RIGG and BRYAN WISEMAN...keep your eye out for these talented professionals! Although it's a pity we haven't seen more films directed by Maurice Murphy. He's a fine director.

Never in my life have I heard of FATTY FINN, which was based on a comic strip feature. Maybe because I wasn't around when its popularity existed. This is another rare find for the entire family, despite this one coming from Australia. The nifty costumes, props, and characters are magnificent, and the acting is decent. But I must clarify something to all loving parents before trying to find this one for their little ones. There are a couple of scenes of nudity within the first 30 minutes, including one where bullies do a paint job on Fatty's behind for a couple of seconds. It may be offending to those who have children, so please view along with them! Other than the sudden inconvenience, the rest of FATTY FINN has the usual delightful moments as with other "family" movies, with added classic flavor to make it interesting. Sort of like 1930 all over again, only more colorful. It comes up a bit short on humor when compared to THE LITTLE RASCALS / OUR GANG, but it has lots of mischievous comedy to keep you fully enjoyed. And there's plenty of it! I feel this one is too overrated for my tastes, but after all, the young and old alike will appreciate it.
