All kids should be like this group

Ok, there was enough sap in this film to gum up every VCR & CD unit in the world...but, I still liked it. I also liked the sequel which contained quantities of corn sufficient for the feeding of all the hungry in China AND India. This movie had a good message which, although presented a tad simplistically [ok, big time simplistic], was still a good one even though I can't see most folks living by it. Call me a pessimist, but in the real world I see guys like Pete going to the pen for life or being blown away in the course of a drug deal gone sour. Old people, or lamed out losers like myself, would probably really go for this picture.
