One Feel-Good Movie: The Little Rascals


            "Quick, what's the number for 911?", one of my many favorite quotes from The Little Rascals. This is one movie I would recommend to anyone of all ages. It is funny and it has romance. Therefore, I would recommend The Little Rascals for several reasons.
          First of all, The Little Rascals is a funny movie for several reasons. It's about school-aged kids that have a "He-Man Woman Haters Club". They allow no girls in their club. My two favorite characters are Buckwheat and Porky. They are the two youngest of the club. When the club caught fire, both Buckwheat and Porky went to call the fire department, but they did not know the number, yet they were standing in front of the fire department. I also consider The Little Rascals a funny movie, because of Alfalfa and Spanky. Alfalfa and Spanky are trying to get away from the two town bullies Butch and Woim, Alfalfa and Spanky ran into the ballet recital dressed as girls.

          Not only is The Little Rascals a funny movie, but it is also a romantic movie. Alfalfa, who is in the "He-Man Woman Haters Club" falls in love with a girl named Darla. Alfalfa did not go to the "He-Man Woman Haters Club" meeting to go on a date with Darla. Darla told Alfalfa for their next date she wants it to be in the "He-Man Woman Haters Club", but Alfalfa knew it was a bad idea, but just to make Darla happy they had their date in the club. The boys catch Alfalfa in the company of Darla--"a girl!" Alfalfa isn't like his friends because he's in love with Darla, and unfortunately threatens the very existence of their "boys only" club. The club's members try their hardest to break the two apart, causing their clubhouse to burn down. Darla than believes that Alfalfa is ashamed of her and turns all her attentions to Waldo, the new rich kid in town. She later finds out that he is a big jerk and goes back to Alfalfa.
