Safety Patrol

Safety Patrol is the sort of movie you're either going to love or hate. Its definately aimed at younger audiences and there are plenty or cheesy or corny laughs but its not that bad. Leslie Neilson and Weird Al perform only SHORT cameos in the film but their scenes are worth watching.

I saw the film twice and on the second viewing I realised that for a B grade movie the humour does grow on you.

The movie is worth watching even if it's just for a few laughs. Good for the entire family.

Excellent film making. If any of you have ever read or even seen "To Kill A Mockingbird", you would know that "Scout" is not an uncommon name. The subtleties of this film run deeper than even the film I alluded to earlier. The safety patrol, into which the lad wants so desperately to get into is a metaphor for "the in-crowd". And if you wanted to take it a step further, you could assume the feat of connecting to the safety patrol could be equated to "connecting" with the cute girl in the film. The "Safety" in "Safety Patrol" obviously refers to the boy's mother, from whom he desperately wants to distance himself while at the same time, hang on to the secure touch of a girl his own age. The girl who some call a "whore", is absolutely adorable and deserves more roles in even better films (if there are better film out there). And one more thing: Leslie Neilson, my hat's off to you.

My sister rented this when I was a kid. We watched and I had fun watching it and I really like the movie I also really loved Weird Al Yankovic in this movie. His song was so funny I really love this movie its really underrated and fun to watch and had a good story to it. I like the good characters also if I were you I would watch this film it is harmless and fun to watch big time.

I can't believe they gave Leslie Neilsen second billing in this thing. I am obviously far too old for this genre of film, but my mother and I watched this because we both enjoy Leslie Neilsen. He's in the movie posters, but he's in the movie for like 15 seconds and has no impact on the plot whatsoever. He was hilarious when he was on, but he wasn't on long enough.

The film itself is not good. It was not a movie designed to expand pre-teens' perception of the world, or anything else. Overall, a weak effort from all involved.

I typed this comment partly due to that "bad-review" posted by that other person, as I did not believe this movie deserved such a bad review...

I have seen this movie when it premiered on the Wonderful World of Disney and thought it was one of their better movies so far being a very good, FUNNY movie. The movie does feature quite a few very good and funny parts, and the two "bad guys" in the movie actually help to make this such a good comedy! If you want a good comedy, then give it a try - you'll probably like it!

(Not quite as good as "My Date with the President's Daughter" and "Beverly Hills: Family Robinson" which were both aired AFTER it, however. These two remain 2 of my favorites, and am hoping that Disney will release them on video in the near future.)
