This is a cute children's film with fleshed-out characters. A little on the absurd side, but that's to be expected. Overall, it doesn't seem to really get any point across; it just tells a story. The parents seem to get in more trouble than the kids... and the kids seem to fare fairly well on their own (at times). So what's the moral story here? Not exactly sure. But it was fun to watch, well-filmed, well-acted, and enjoyable enough if one is in the right mood.
For those who hated it... don't watch kid's films Duh. ; )

A cute children's film
Okay
Just ordinary movie for kids. Love your parents, don't be bad. Interesting idea of kids' self-government but nothing more.
Board Of The Flies
If you're a frustrated hybridologist who's always wondered what a cross between Lord Of The Flies and Bugsy Malone would look like eat your heart out because somebody just beat you to it. I checked this one out blindly on the strength of Carole Bouquet and Gerard Depardieu on the marquee but wouldn't you know it's that old razzle dazzle cause this is strictly a kid's movie any any adult, including the two heavy hitters. The premise is simple if unrealistic; in what seems to be a remote European village and is definitely one for the picture postcards, the behaviour of the children is so problematical that EVERY adult in the joint takes it on the Jesse Owens leaving the kids to fend for themselves - and when I say every adult that includes non-parents and even people with absolutely no involvement with children. This leaves free rein for the aforementioned hybrid as the kids form naturally into two groups, would-be leaders/tyrants and theoretical victims. It all works out in the end but will anyone care.
