A movie like this would never fly in this day and age. Pure 90s childhood kino.

Why wouldn't it fly? There is nothing politically incorrect in it if I remember well
>>82724650
It wouldn't fly because it's not generic enough
>>82724172
I don't get it.

Because if I remember correctly one of the parents smoked. Which automatically stops you from getting a G or PG rating. Also I think nowadays kids movies are super dumbed down, happy go lucky, this film shows a lot of abuse regardless of how exaggerated it is, I don't think it would sit well with the MPAA
Best childhood kino, also bestchildhood crush.

It's filled with child abuse, from her parents and from the school. Her dad was also some kind of crooked car salesman who scammed people for a living. These are topics you wouldn't see in kids movies today.

It's been over 20 years since I've read the book but I remember the family being really seedy, like nothing about them was right.
Also, I know this is a pathetic thing to brag about but one of my friends was in publishing and met Quinten Blake.
