5/10
Not for sensitive black folks.
16 March 2018
Before I get to the plot, let me start with this--Roach did a much better job with race in the original Our Gang movies. He had black kids in this, but just as props. One gets so scared he turns white. In another case a chimp dons the boy's clothes and is mistaken for the kid. Maybe typical for the time, but...

The black boys are no "dumber" than one of the white kids, nor less "brave" than he. Specks squeals higher and louder than the girls.

The plot of the movie is pretty far fetched as far as the murder. The kids are cute. Watchable because of that.
