Wonderfully original, fun film
By wolfenchild (5 reviews) from Croydon, England , 24 Feb 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
They don't make too many films like this. This is a musical set in the 1920's revolving around gangsters and lovable rogue Bugsy Malone. But the whole cast are children, guns are 'splurge guns' that cover the victim in cream, and cars are pedalled. Bugsy (Scott Baio), a ladies 'man' and wise guy, gets more than he bargains for when he meets Blousey Brown (Florrie Dugger) and promises to help her to get to Hollywood while fighting off the attention of Tallulah (Jodie Foster), the girlfriend of crime boss Fat Sam (John Cassisi) who is fighting a gang war against Dandy Dan (Martin Lev).
It's a child's world, and I don't think the film would work any other way. The acting is very good considering the fact that there's not one adult in the film, and while the lip-synching of the music with the actors is a bit ropey in places, the songs are very memorable and work well. Personal favourites include 'Bad Guys' and 'So you wanna be a boxer?'.
And just because this film is solely acted by children, doesn't mean the film is solely for children. I'm 23, and I throughly enjoyed it. It made a nice change from the norm, and I recommend it to anyone, any age.- Was this review helpful to you?
