An Actual Review of Thunderpants (2003)

A quick overview of the film's plot so SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Thunderpants is the truly rip roaring story of Patrick Smash, a boy who can't stop farting. Born in what resembles Soviet Britain the ceaseless flatulence not only drives his father to abandon his wife and older child, but also leads to his mother drinking. This is followed by Patrick going to school where he is endlessly ridiculed by all, including the adults. His only friend being Allen A. Allen, a boy who has no sense of smell (and who must be partially deaf to ignore the concussive blasts from his friends ass). Allen being a Doc Brown style genius eventually agrees to help build a pair of airtight rubber shorts (the titular Thunderpants) to contain Patrick's frequent flatus. Eventually they decide to use the vaporous effluence to power the flying machine Allen has been building. This is the only machine to work, as all the others are built by a collection of village idiots who seem to have no understanding of flight despite the fact that everyone seems obsessed with the space program the US is running. Needless to say after they win Allen is recruited by the US government to work on rescuing stranded astronauts and leaves without telling Patrick, who immediately signs on with the local creep/opera singer who covets the young boy's ass. For you see Patrick has a sonorous sphincter that can hit an impossibly high note. Then we jump straight into a mildly racist travel montage as the opera singer travels the world claiming all the credit, this ends with Patrick committing manslaughter and being sentenced to death by firing squad. Then, in the nick of time, the US government sweeps in and saves him so they can harness his powers to launch the rescue rocket. Queue inspiring speech of how Patrick is willing to fly off to his near certain death, and everyone who hated and tortured him crying. Then Launch and return, ending with Patrick riding in the Kennedy Assassination-mobile.

Ok, so with the "plot" out of the way we can discuss the absolute absurdity this film is.
This is filmed with more than lazy fart and poop jokes, the cast contains a number of big names! Rupert Grint, fresh off the Harry Potter set, takes center stage as the ridiculous Allen A. Allen with his strikingly cheesy line delivery and poor accent. Stephen Fry really cuts down Patrick as the prosecuting lawyer and sentences him to death. Keira Knightly stole the one scene she was randomly in without full credit (no really, she is in this movie just out of nowhere).
