We watch almost aghast (or is that awake?) as Alan harnesses Patrick's anal altruism to win first place at the local competition for unassisted flight - courtesy of a fart-powered hovercraft named Thunderpants 2.Īlan is recruited by NASA look-alikes to help them in their ongoing exploration of space. Soon enough, Alan manages to invent a pair of breeches which can contain Patrick's bottom-burps - the Thunderpants of the title. Luckily, his absent sense of smell allows the two to form a close and everlasting bond of friendship. Allen ( Rupert Grint, the redheaded Ron from the Harry Potter films). On his first day at school, Patrick is befriended by the young genius Alan A. His extreme gaseous output results in his father abandoning him, and his mother resorting to alcoholism. not.Ĭook portrays Patrick Smash, a boy who from the second of his birth is destined to a life of misery. Can someone please call a surgeon? I fear my sides may have split. The entire film centres around this one joke - farting. This imbues him with a terrible talent - extreme flatulence. Newcomer Bruce Cook plays a young chap with the strange birth defect of having two stomachs " like a cow". Perhaps Thunderpants is a brave children's movie, which takes a ridiculously crass basic theme and manages to use it as a subtle criticism of bigotry without preaching? Alternatively it could be a funny way to get across the message of self-belief and the struggle against adversity? Unfortunately, whilst it has some redeeming features (the young actors and the occasional glimpse of wit) it is overall a fairly tedious experience, devoid of much real insight or humour. I think poo and fart jokes are really funny, when done well. I think (for instance) Ben Elton is a comic genius.
