★★★★★ · Cramps From Swimming? · JayKay49 · 2023-05-28
Jimmy is not on the first couple days of "the curse." He's a boy - he doesn't get "the curse." But that's when you can get cramps from swimming - the first couple days of menestration.. Not from just eating (like they used to tell us.) Digging a tunnel like they did in earthquake prone Los Angeles County IS certainly asking for it. A kissing cousin to the film "Live and Learn." I suspect Sid Davis had some sadistic feelings toward kids. I mean like both films are so obsessed with damaged kids. I just sometimes wonder. Good film though. Very entertaining, even though you simply can't beat Nick…
★★★★ · Poor Timmy! · Spuzz · 2013-07-23
Very entertaining kid about Timmy, clumsy kid but fabulous dresser, on the many many stupid things he does. Let's see, he runs into trees, walks barefoot in construction areas, pets stray dogs, flies kites in the rain, climbs telephone poles, etc etc. Half of these things are quite bizarre and fairly random (the construction one especially) and is presented here quite entertainingly. Highly reccomended!
