The Peanut Butter Solution (1985)
Childhood Memories, One Hairy Adventure.
A lovely trip down memory lane. I saw this film when I was a child of seven, again when I was ten and snippets of this film have followed me ever since. I just finished watching the film again moments ago, the first time as an adult. Now, this film was somewhat frightening when I was seven, it does have some spooky elements, I don't recommend it for young children. I do feel however that this movie does deserve a second look by adults. The acting isn't award winning, and the special effects certainly wouldn't stand up to today's standards, however this film does have a unique premise and the dialog rarely comes off as childish, this isn't really a childs movie and I feel it was mis-marketted as one. One notable point about this film for most Canadians in their twenties and thirties will recognize several faces from other Canadian films and television from the early 1980's. This film was produced in english, the first film released by La Fete that I am aware of, to be produced in english not just dubbed over. If you enjoyed this film I also recommend watching The Dog that Stopped the War (1984) a great film put out by La Fete immediately before the Peanut Butter Solution. The Dog who Stopped the War can also be found by its original french title Guerre des tuques, La (1984).
Pay It Forward (2000)
A Guide to an Utopian Society
I am sure others have said the same thing about this film, but its message of hope and trust in the goodness of others has been truly inspirational and uplifting to me and those arround me who have also seen this film. I personally believe that if everyone on the planet were to see this film and understand the concepts and ideas expressed within it, the world would be forever changed, for the better, at least in some small ways. This is definitely one of those watch once a year movies.
