They made us watch it too. I sat in the back and drew pictures during the whole thing. Little did I fucking know that the teacher wanted us to do the quiz as a class after the movie was over.
I do love how Pete has two nameless goons who just appear in town with him and then vanish when he leaves, and commit no acts of violence or trouble on their own. He can apparently summon minions from hell.
Sounds a lot better than being made to watch 'Of Mice and Men' in high school, great time in your life to watch a movie that basically says "sometimes life just fucking sucks"
When I was in second grade we saw The Patriot. That's how I found out the American revolution was about Mel Gibson taking revenge for the death of his son. Also a cannon ball can take someone's head off. We know it wasn't historically arcuate, (cannon balls don't really take off people's head) we just wanted an excuse to see a hard R.
+RomrotMechanikos And I got stuck with this shit. Well, at least a few years later my fourth or fifth grade class went to see Bridge To Terabithia in theaters.
* Reads title. Opens video. Starts typing * " This sure sounds like a por... " * Brad's fucking lovely face looks at you. No words are spoken yet. * He knows. Abort.
When I was a kid I watched this movie at my grandma’s! Bless her soul, she had the purest heart amidst all the horror she’d been through. Rest in peace grandma, I love you♥️
*All the horror elements, dramatic tension, and rich characterization---if you keep the latter two, you end up with something more like "The Shawshank Redemption" or "Stand By Me" than this.
That is what you call stupid! So I guess a woman who's being held against her will will strip and offer herself and then it won't be rape? What kind of backwards logic is that?!?!?!
It's true! Also it isn't a felony, so there's nothing wrong with having things gifted to you by the shop owner. Except god is watching, waiting for you to get buttercreamed all over by the whole village.
I was dating a girl who told me this was her favorite movie as a kid. So in an effort to get to know her better I asked her if she wanted to watch it with me. She had grown up in an evangelical household so I tried to keep in mind that her choices were limited but it was kind of heartbreaking to watch this movie and think that THIS was the apex of her cinematic experience as a young person.
That reminds me of my childhood. I had to stay at my aunt's house alot when I was little because my mom worked so much. My aunt found everything too much for her kids. She had 2 vcrs so she could rent a movie and tape it but blcut out the parts that she didnt like. I only remember watching disney movies and maybe some good times features. Remember the snake scene and climax in Aladdin? Yeah we had no idea that shit went down until I saw it at my own house when my mom brought home the vhs for my birthday. She also cut out other disney battles and not so nice words like "murderer" in lion king. I felt so free when I was old enough to stay home after school alone and watch whatever i wanted unedited lol. Also my mom had no idea she did this and couldn't care less about watching disney movies in full. I got in trouble once because i asked my cousins why half of snow white was missing and my mom got in my aunt's face about spanking me for it. She didnt want her kids corrupted and apparently I was corrupting them by telling them about the plot of 101 dalmations.
Scarlett Rahnavard ... Holy shit, that's kinda fucked up, Scarlett. Your aunt spanked you for revealing parts of movies to her kids??... Sounds like your aunt was crazy,overly protective of plot twists!! 😱📼🎬
My favourite film as a kid was probably Burton's first Batman movie. Kids like stupid shit. It's not really heartbreaking, we just have a shit taste when we're younger.
i'm legitimately mad this movie was a corny white boy christian film instead of a gang of rogue bakers committing petty crime to save their struggling bakeries
That's a great idea. Al Pacino might be one of these bakers. He returns from beating up rivaling bakers in some dark alley before burning down their stores and the others ask where he has been all night and he says "ahh....ya know...Buttercream business."
This movie, and many like it, really give me the creepy vibe. It's like everyone in the town has been removed from reality and lobotomized until the concept of 'bad things' ceases to exist for them, and when they encounter it they can't compute the consequences of becoming enablers.
He also described Conservatives who believe that when police abuse their power to murder innocent people, we need to punish anyone and everyone who complains about it while letting the cop have a nice bonus.
With the touching piano music coming in and the line " Buttercreaming isn't just about helping people out..." all I can fucking imagine is some horrible, sleazy Madtv sketch where they decide to make a parody of heartwarming "message-related" movies starring a group of disgusting fetish-porn actors who decide to band together to save a bunch of orphans. Damn. I really need to get a job in television. They need my ideas
Belive it or not, Wikipedia provides an explanation for the title: The ButterCream Gang was formed several decades prior to the storyline during World War II. The local women were left unable to churn butter with their men gone. A group of boys began going around town to help them do this (hence the name) and other chores. Over the years, the group expanded to four members and eventually came to do all sorts of helpful things for the locals.
Because anybody who goes from lily-white America to 'Chicago,' you immediately become a Cholo straight from House of Buggin. Tonight, on 'White Gallery.'
Also, Chicago Boy totally died. The whole town beat him down, took back the money, and gave the kid the whole 'he went to a new town/farm to play forever' excuse.
Despite all the ignoring, abuse, and rudeness she gets, I think Margret will grow up to be a well balanced girl that just happens not to like Mondays. At least she'll get a song about her from the Boomtown Rats!
I remember this movie!! In elementary school in Rockford Illinois in the early 90's they made us watch this movie in class. Around the same time there was this one Christian group that went around doing different assemblies where they would smash cinder blocks with karate chops. "Through the power of Christ I can smash this cinder block with a strategically placed karate chop!!" One of the guys in the group said, "Once when I was 12 there was this one kid who wouldn't stop picking on me. So, one day I lost it and stabbed him to death with my pocket knife. But now I found Christ, and with the power of Christ I can smash this cinder block!!" It was the most bizarre thing ever.
"Through the power of christ i can smash this cinderblock" Has the same awesome christian cheesiness as much as "Hey Scotty! Jesus man." And "When i come to Jesus, i come ALL the way" .
I'm pretty sure we watched this one day at (private christian) school. When even the most sheltered, whitebread, goody-two-shoes christian kids openly snicker at your movie title, there's a problem.
This is the most harmless and sanitized thing I have ever seen. Even "Leave it to Beaver" is more hardcore than this shmoltzy made-for-grandparents film.
As a present and practicing Mormon, I've never heard of this either and it's... well, let's be nice and call it well intentioned but completely moronic.
@@SuperfieldCrUn Uh, no offense (okay, maybe a little offense) but as a Mormon, you're not in a justified position to criticize anything as moronic. That's the pot calling the kettle black (which by the way, is totally racist).
A staple of my childhood! Watched it over and over and over and over again for years. I recently rewatched it and got a lump in my throat, as corny as it may be, it is and will always hold a special place in my heart
The town in this movie looks like something ripped straight out of a Mormon's wet dream, lol. From what I can tell, the only non-white person shown in the entire movie was the Michael Jordan poster.
The VHS box art reminded me of a lot of Mormon/LDS videos from the 1970s. I felt it deserved more investigation... so I Googled this movie and found out it was filmed in Riverton & Draper, Utah, and is distributed by "Feature Films for Families" in Murray, Utah. The music was composed by Kurt Bestor, who does a lot of music for LDS videos, the 2002 Winter Olympics in SLC, etc. That explains it. This film has "white and Mormon" written all over this thing. I tried to find the artist of the cover (the signature says something like "Mortus" but I can't read it), so if anyone can read it or find the artist for the cover, let me know. Another interesting fact: "Troll 2" was also filmed outside Salt Lake City, Utah. If it weren't for "Touched by an Angel", Utah would be forever cursed as a filming location.
Really? I was catholic and I worked on the film. But who really cares if was Mormon. I thought the movie sucked but I got paid for it. Yeah Troll 2 is a cult classic? I have no idea how. But later I was hired for Disney to make better movies.
This reminds me of my days at Christian school. I think we had to watch this every year from kindergarten to fifth grade. The best part was when Pete was happy about something, and then an adult was like "Good job. Your DEAD PARENT would be so proud of you if they weren't DEAD" and then Pete got all sad.
Hey, I remember this movie! Boy Scouts gave out copies to us when my brother and I were kids. Was crap then, still crap now but I've been trying to think of the title for fifteen years. Keep on reviewing 90's movies, you're bringing back some serious memories.
Sometimes I wonder if someone on the production team suggested "The Buttercream Gang" as a name for the movie, and the scriptwriters decided to go with it and make the movie an innuendo party as a result. That would be the best explanation for why half the dialogue belongs in a porno.
When I was in 4th grade this was my state's answer to educating kids against joining gangs. I remember how none of it made sense and now I can see how really clueless those in charge were about the issue. Thank you Cinema Snob.
We got this movie in the mail, unsolicited, when I was a kid. We figured it was because it was filmed in Utah and we lived in Wyoming. Several of our neighbors got a copy, too. My mom wouldn’t let us watch it, but she did let us watch things like Good Morning, Vietnam. Now I know why. Thanks, mom!
I watched this earlier today while doing edibles and the one thing I pointed out is that this whole movie takes place approx. at 5:30pm on a July summer evening. The. Whole. Movie.
i like how in family friendly movies from this era there's 1)compulsory heterosexuality 2) a boy picking on a girl cause he likes her. has the Cinema Snob ever reviewed Switchblade Sisters before? I wanna say yes and that i even watched it but all search engines are acting like they don't know what i'm talking about. I swear to god he reviewed it.
I'll never forget the day that my teacher said hugging can be a form of bullying....yeah. because hugging someone is totally going to make their feelings hurt and not at all confuse them and make them feel loved.
As bad as the writing and character interactions appear in these clips, it still feels more realistic than anything shat out by the Christiano brothers... Also, a few of the kid actors actually seem like they're not half bad. Given what they have to work with, these kids do manage to sound like human beings more often than what I've come to expect from these type of movies... But yeah, this movie seems super awkward. At times, you really wonder if these innuendos are done on purpose... And what a title! Want something really entertaining? Go to the "Feature Films for Families" wikipedia page, and read up on the company's telemarketing ventures!
The page is sadly no longer available, but the Dove Foundation came up. Oh and shocker, their base of operations was the wretched hive of scum and villainy known as Portland, Oregon.
The riverside confrontation between Scott and Pete really needed to end the way Snob envisioned it. Just clinging to each other desperately, rutting like animals, sliding and slapping their sweaty bodies together, all while Scott revels in the forbidden beauty of his dangerous companion....
Thank you for reviewing this. The daycare center I went to in elementary school seemed to play this for movie time at least once a week. Even at that age I thought it was boring as shit.
Was that India line as random in context as it seems? Next time I'm playing ball with a kid, I'm going to say "Did you know that the White House was burned to the ground during the War of 1812?"
He goes on to tell Scott that Gandhi said 'an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind'. Meaning, I guess, that he should turn the other cheek with Pete and not resort to violence, which is why Scott was a pacifist throughout the rest of the movie.
Wait, a "Parent's Guide" on the back? Wasn't that also on the back of "How I Saved the President"? Oh god, that's the same studio from "Flyin' Ryan" RUN AWAY
Parents Guide? For a white washed ridiculously screened film like this? This movie was made for babies that would get offended if somebody said "darn" and depicted a couple were drinking a bottle of wine! What a bunch of pussies!!!
I'm also really glad Brad Jones featured on "DVD-R Hell" those awful "Hell's Bells" Christian propaganda tapes that were trying to guilt-trip people out of listening to contemporary music. My mom and stepdad subjected me to those tapes too. And I grew up not even knowing the mainstream very well to begin with. People like my mom and stepdad were doing everything in their power to make me extremely unwell. And if I committed the mortal sin of trying to be well at all, my mom the psycho (very much an equivalent of the Mother Superior in "Silent Night, Deadly Night") pulled extremely sick, traumatizing shit on me, and to this day she keeps repeatedly claiming nobody has done anything to me. She's that amorally far gone. And when I was about 27 and was having a conversation to her and mentioned the mainstream, she didn't even know what that is, even though she's a grown adult. To her, everything is either holy or secular, and that's it. She doesn't even have any concept of the mainstream, even though she's one of the most disturbingly worst products of the mainstream. Hell, she pulls fucked up, sick shit on you if you so much as feel morally disturbed by her actions.
I've seen this twice, both times in churches. That should say all you need to know about the quality of this film. The guy who plays Pete isn't that bad of an actor, though.
There's a movie called Both Sides of the Law made by the same director and Michael Weatherred reprises his role as Pete! I heard about it on a podcast and confirmed it via imdb. I've been struggling to find it though...finding that movie is my bucket list
So my family are hoarders and we were organizing a box of old VHS tapes. Guess what we found? I was laughing so hard to myself. I honestly don't remember ever watching it or even hearing of it before this review. But it doesn't surprise me at all that my mom would have gotten something like this.
His parents are deceased, he is passed around to family members and he's under 18 but his friends dont understand his life is difficult?? These folks are awful
Pete was probably stealing 'For the Kicks', to quote Wild Rebels. So, just giving him everything would take all the fun out of it, by making it too easy. Thus, we get what happens in the movie.
Robbery: "The offense of taking or attempting to take the property of another by force or threat of force." He's still robbing you, dude. Just because you cave in to his threats doesn't make it not robbery anymore.
Whenever I hear the term "buttercream", I think of buttercream frosting on cakes or truffles with buttercream filling. I'm not sure what Brad's thinking is exactly when he hears "buttercream", but knowing him, his interpretation of that term is likely much nastier. Nevertheless, he got great comedic mileage out of this hokey-ass movie. "And then they bang. HAAAAARD."
@@Tareltonlives You're right, I haven't, but knowing the kind of stuff he's reviewed in the past, porn and all, I'm not surprised that he would see just how unintentionally nasty the title could be.
Cinema Snob you are the gift that keeps on giving. My religious aunt bought me this as a kid, I had no idea wtf was going on except there was a lot of bikes and hokey kids, and now i re-discovered it as an adult thanks you your review.
For as much as Snob has used "... and The ButterCream Gang!" as a punchline in the past, I'm so glad he's finally getting around to posting a review of it. I feel like this has been the video I've been waiting for.
I can just imagine the big buttercreamer (his name escapes me) coming out with "got the right one baby. Uh huh, uh huh" in the middle of Scott's father's funeral.
They should make a 3rd film called the buttercream gang 3 its about the characters from the first 2 films with children of their own and the kids are new generation of buttercreamers that set out to stop property developers from tearing down an old church and they even have like fundraiser and petition to stop the property developers from tearing down the church im also surprised they havent made a remake or reboot the property developers plan to tear down the church an replace it with apartments or something like that
I saw this movie when I was in third grade. It’s kind of like “The Sandlot”....if it were directed by Ned Flanders.
Adam Kahoe This film makes "The Sandlot" look like "Boyz in the hood".
Lol, that’s funny.
They made us watch it too. I sat in the back and drew pictures during the whole thing. Little did I fucking know that the teacher wanted us to do the quiz as a class after the movie was over.
Yeah, I saw it in school too in 7th grade. I began riffing it and I hadn't even SEEN Mystery Science Theater yet.
Dear God, they made you watch in in third grade too?
I do love how Pete has two nameless goons who just appear in town with him and then vanish when he leaves, and commit no acts of violence or trouble on their own. He can apparently summon minions from hell.
Well duh. Everyone knows that Satan gives supernatural powers to kids who spray-paint mailboxes and steal candy😂
They were just wild children who were exiled into the woods and decided to join him
😂
New petition for all Stoned Gremlin fans to be henceforth known as Brad's Butter Creamers.
I’m pulling for this to happen....HARD
They're young, dumb, and full of buttercream.
Petition denied.
Yes
Aaah! Buttercream!
They made us watch this in second grade. I didn't understand it back then. Now I realize it's because there was nothing to understand.
Bogus!
When I was in first or second grade, me and my class were shown "The Wizard of Oz".
+Jacob Crawford Lucky son of a bitch.
Sounds a lot better than being made to watch 'Of Mice and Men' in high school, great time in your life to watch a movie that basically says "sometimes life just fucking sucks"

You read my mind.
Quick!! Tell me the winning state loto numbers!!!
ladydiskette Oh wow, I feel bad for you. :0
I seriously want someone to put "Buttercreamer" under their Grndir profile and see what happens.
The kid playing Pete is legitimately a really good actor.
That’s how he became an actor in a series of Corona Commercials YO!
he was in mulholland drive
@@zzguap wait, forreal?
@@burninsherman1037yep, very small role
Lol just because he was in good movies won't take away from the fact he will always be a lifetime member of the Buttercream Gang
This movie has what I call artificial wholesomeness: it tries to be wholesome, but it comes off as an uncanny imitation of it
So something out of Pleasantville then?
This makes 'The Sandlot' look like a R movie
This film is so white it makes "The Sandlot" look like "Boyz in the hood".
Like in IT Chapter 1
It's literally a Mormon movie lol
@@tylersmith9868wait really? lol it wouldn’t surprise me, I saw this movie when I was like 5 so I didn’t remember much of it 😂
Pete was actually a legitimately decent actor for his age in this movie
"WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE?" Right with you there, Pete.
When I was a kid I watched this movie at my grandma’s! Bless her soul, she had the purest heart amidst all the horror she’d been through. Rest in peace grandma, I love you♥️
as crappy as this movie is I can still see it being a comfy memory with a loved one like that. thx for sharing.
Rest in pieces gma
Actually my grandma just died last week 😢 I wish she could have lived to see Trump go to jail
respect to the grandmas
That sounds like an awesome memory :) I'm sorry for your loss.
@@kenhammscousin4716I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you're doing as good as you can be. I lost my last grandma two years ago. It's still hard
It's like someone took all the horror elements out of a Stephen King Novel and made a movie out of it!
And why does the dad look like a deflated Robin Williams?
*All the horror elements, dramatic tension, and rich characterization---if you keep the latter two, you end up with something more like "The Shawshank Redemption" or "Stand By Me" than this.
It's a Stephen King movie, but they took out the clown. And the black kid.
So, Stand By Me?
"If I give you the money, then you're not robbing me." Uh, that's pretty much the exact definition of robbery, actually.
"If I give you the money you're not robbing me"
Um what?
you didn't win, you didn't win
That is what you call stupid! So I guess a woman who's being held against her will will strip and offer herself and then it won't be rape? What kind of backwards logic is that?!?!?!

@@scarlettrahnavard3101 that’s scary. That’s not even inappropriate material for children. I feel really sorry for you.
i'm legitimately mad this movie was a corny white boy christian film instead of a gang of rogue bakers committing petty crime to save their struggling bakeries
Shannihilator That is a brilliant concept. Someone Kickstart this.
You are thinking of the Christian movie, The great banana pie caper.

i read this in snob's voice
This movie is so blindingly white, the moths started bump into my screen.
This is the kind of movie Frylock would show Master Shake to deprogram him after being bitten by a radioactive black construction worker.
I didnt know ProJared was the leader of the Buttercream Gang?!
or a young William Fichtner
Or Paul Rubens.
lol yeah
Both auditioned but they were turned down because they weren't white enough.
Cool comment, awesome profile picture!
When I hear "buttercream", I can only think of buttercream icing. Oh man, nothing says "cool gang name" like rich floral frosting.
This movie, and many like it, really give me the creepy vibe. It's like everyone in the town has been removed from reality and lobotomized until the concept of 'bad things' ceases to exist for them, and when they encounter it they can't compute the consequences of becoming enablers.
you just described liberals who don't want to punish criminals.
In fairness, there's a lot of apolitical people who don't want to either.
He also described Conservatives who believe that when police abuse their power to murder innocent people, we need to punish anyone and everyone who complains about it while letting the cop have a nice bonus.
Just one correction..... I'm a 'she'.
So am I, sister *hugs*
With the touching piano music coming in and the line " Buttercreaming isn't just about helping people out..." all I can fucking imagine is some horrible, sleazy Madtv sketch where they decide to make a parody of heartwarming "message-related" movies starring a group of disgusting fetish-porn actors who decide to band together to save a bunch of orphans. Damn. I really need to get a job in television. They need my ideas
Will Sasso-era Madtv in general pwned the fuck out of SNL.

bushwacked by the buttercream gang...
A new Chuck Tingle novella
Throw in some assed clones and space raptors, and it's perfect.
Adman77 I got Buttercreamed by the Bushwhacking gang
BUTTERCREAMED
The Buttercream Gang sends their regards....
Because anybody who goes from lily-white America to 'Chicago,' you immediately become a Cholo straight from House of Buggin. Tonight, on 'White Gallery.'
Also, Chicago Boy totally died. The whole town beat him down, took back the money, and gave the kid the whole 'he went to a new town/farm to play forever' excuse.
That should have been the Alternative Ending.
then they'd be the American version of that town from hot fuzz
Actually, he forms a butter cream gang in chicago.
Tip of the cap for House of Buggin'
Pete is like the mysterious love-child of Paul Reubens and Christian Slater.
JimmyTheLoon OMG! I can not unsee that! Pee-wee and JD!
I know you are fair. BUTTER, what is fair as I am.
I was 8 or 9 when I saw this and pointed out that Pete looked like Pee Wee Herman. The Sunday school teacher got mad and told me to stfu. Fkn boomers.
So ProJared?
Despite all the ignoring, abuse, and rudeness she gets, I think Margret will grow up to be a well balanced girl that just happens not to like Mondays.
At least she'll get a song about her from the Boomtown Rats!
Shes gonna grow up hot and turn the gang against one another using the power of poon. Jesus Christ that's an awful end to an "epic" series.
I can only imagine what her marriage with Scott will be like when their older, lol.
One of my dad's friends was the guy who sold the bullets to the dad of the "I don't like Mondays" girl.
Michael D. Weatherred's performance as Pete was a revelation. He was utterly convincing as a cold blooded gangster fallen from grace. Truly chilling.

Same with my schools XD except we had Christian Marines lower themselves down from the ceiling in our gym via harness and rip phone books in half lol
+Adam Lamarre ----When I was in elementary school, my teacher showed us "The Wizard of Oz"!
Imagine its the Cinema Snob yelling that line.
"Through the power of christ i can smash this cinderblock" Has the same awesome christian cheesiness as much as "Hey Scotty! Jesus man." And "When i come to Jesus, i come ALL the way" .
I find it very irresponsible of God to arm murderers with karate chopping abilities.
nobody called the ACLU?
I love how angry you get. I feels genuine every time. Thanks for making me chortle uncomfortably.
Don't ever use that fuckin word again.
What the fuck are you doing here, Huggbees?
Huggbees my beloved
Yeah, that's why I moved away from Chicago.
Way too many gangs, and not many butter cream.
If I ever buttercream to Jesus, I buttercream all the way.

Hey, King Brick. Buttercream, man.
Hey Scotty, buttercream man.
You go man buttercream all the way man

A staple of my childhood! Watched it over and over and over and over again for years. I recently rewatched it and got a lump in my throat, as corny as it may be, it is and will always hold a special place in my heart
“ERRR, HUUR HUUR HUUR! BUDDER CREHM!!!”
ERRR HUUUR HUUR HUUR! GIANT TOOTH PICK!!!!!
The town in this movie looks like something ripped straight out of a Mormon's wet dream, lol. From what I can tell, the only non-white person shown in the entire movie was the Michael Jordan poster.
Way late, I know, but this movie was filmed in American Fork, Utah, my hometown, which is literally 86% Mormon (me not included).
Fluttershy Stays High420 Christ, that escalated quickly
My father knew a person on a mission in South Korea that was in this on of the people in the gang
Please do more from Feature Films. Watched nearly all of them as a kid. Laughed so hard at the two buttercream reviews. Please do more
The VHS box art reminded me of a lot of Mormon/LDS videos from the 1970s. I felt it deserved more investigation...
so I Googled this movie and found out it was filmed in Riverton & Draper, Utah, and is distributed by "Feature Films for Families" in Murray, Utah. The music was composed by Kurt Bestor, who does a lot of music for LDS videos, the 2002 Winter Olympics in SLC, etc. That explains it. This film has "white and Mormon" written all over this thing.
I tried to find the artist of the cover (the signature says something like "Mortus" but I can't read it), so if anyone can read it or find the artist for the cover, let me know.
Another interesting fact: "Troll 2" was also filmed outside Salt Lake City, Utah. If it weren't for "Touched by an Angel", Utah would be forever cursed as a filming location.
Really? I was catholic and I worked on the film. But who really cares if was Mormon. I thought the movie sucked but I got paid for it. Yeah Troll 2 is a cult classic? I have no idea how. But later I was hired for Disney to make better movies.
@@coachanderson2704 you didn't know how troll 2 is a cult classic?
"THIS TOWN NEEDS AN ENEMA!"
This reminds me of my days at Christian school. I think we had to watch this every year from kindergarten to fifth grade. The best part was when Pete was happy about something, and then an adult was like "Good job. Your DEAD PARENT would be so proud of you if they weren't DEAD" and then Pete got all sad.
why do you keeeep meantionin that you're bumminnnnn meee oouuuutttttt!
Hang on, is that...
Did they actually use comic sans on their movie's box cover?
Yup
Yep
Sitromxe What did you expect?
Who cares?
Nothing says *not giving a fuck* like Comic Sans.
Hey, I remember this movie! Boy Scouts gave out copies to us when my brother and I were kids. Was crap then, still crap now but I've been trying to think of the title for fifteen years. Keep on reviewing 90's movies, you're bringing back some serious memories.
I remember seeing two movies by the same family company, no more baths and seventh brother, guud times
yeah that was my favorite :D
@@emmadilemma4177 oh, my, No More Baths! I'd forgotten!
Sometimes I wonder if someone on the production team suggested "The Buttercream Gang" as a name for the movie, and the scriptwriters decided to go with it and make the movie an innuendo party as a result. That would be the best explanation for why half the dialogue belongs in a porno.
When I was in 4th grade this was my state's answer to educating kids against joining gangs. I remember how none of it made sense and now I can see how really clueless those in charge were about the issue. Thank you Cinema Snob.
Hey, Scotty. Buttercream, bro!
We got this movie in the mail, unsolicited, when I was a kid. We figured it was because it was filmed in Utah and we lived in Wyoming. Several of our neighbors got a copy, too. My mom wouldn’t let us watch it, but she did let us watch things like Good Morning, Vietnam. Now I know why. Thanks, mom!
I watched this earlier today while doing edibles and the one thing I pointed out is that this whole movie takes place approx. at 5:30pm on a July summer evening. The. Whole. Movie.
Jesus didn't die for this.
HEY! I'm a Buttercreamer too.
You gonna draw shinigami
why does that not suprise me...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!!
I didn't realise this was your channel.
Turtle dicks...
i like how in family friendly movies from this era there's 1)compulsory heterosexuality 2) a boy picking on a girl cause he likes her.
has the Cinema Snob ever reviewed Switchblade Sisters before? I wanna say yes and that i even watched it but all search engines are acting like they don't know what i'm talking about. I swear to god he reviewed it.
Yeah, I don't think he reviewed it ... that movie was fun to watch but no one I know liked it for some reason ...
so i basically hallucinated that he reviewed it. woooow. i liked it.
+princesstamika He should review it, I think it would be hilarious XD
seven seven seven seven seven seven seven weird. that's the same thing google said. ..
+princesstamika That was a good review
Who the hell in the 90's is whimsically nicknamed "Old Widow Jenkins?"
Wait until the 2000’s they used Old man Jenkins
Because the town in this movie is stuck in 1925.
@@a.jlewissonicski5278 "It's Cannonball Jenkins!"
I thought Mr. Graft and Old Widow Jenkins would make a cute couple!
this is the whitest movie since cool as ice
"This movie is too white even for me!" - Leni Riefenstahl on The Buttercream Gang
This makes cool as ice look like Soul Food (1997)!
This makes cool as ice look like Soul Food (1997)!
This is whiter then light , and I'm white
Eh fuck it we need a new sequel to this called " The SOURCREAM GANG"
i did the 'lean turkey on white with the crust
cut off' at my brothers wedding
I'll never forget the day that my teacher said hugging can be a form of bullying....yeah. because hugging someone is totally going to make their feelings hurt and not at all confuse them and make them feel loved.
I mean it depends on the person if you hug someone who told you they don't like being touched it can be viewed as a form of harassment
When our teacher tried showing this in class, she likely skipped over some sizeable portions to find the plot.
Another Snob episode, the best way to start the week. Thanks Snob for making Mondays bearable, HARD !.....
*making Mondays bangable
As bad as the writing and character interactions appear in these clips, it still feels more realistic than anything shat out by the Christiano brothers...
Also, a few of the kid actors actually seem like they're not half bad. Given what they have to work with, these kids do manage to sound like human beings more often than what I've come to expect from these type of movies...
But yeah, this movie seems super awkward. At times, you really wonder if these innuendos are done on purpose... And what a title!
Want something really entertaining? Go to the "Feature Films for Families" wikipedia page, and read up on the company's telemarketing ventures!
The page is sadly no longer available, but the Dove Foundation came up. Oh and shocker, their base of operations was the wretched hive of scum and villainy known as Portland, Oregon.
Actually the switchblade sisters sound badass.
Sounds like a gang from The Warriors.
Why does every Christian children's film feel like the censored version of Jared Fogle's most watched videos on his hard drive?
The riverside confrontation between Scott and Pete really needed to end the way Snob envisioned it. Just clinging to each other desperately, rutting like animals, sliding and slapping their sweaty bodies together, all while Scott revels in the forbidden beauty of his dangerous companion....
It's a good thing to know that this stars a young ProJared.
14:12 Swimming near the sewage pipe like Jesus intended.
Thank you for reviewing this. The daycare center I went to in elementary school seemed to play this for movie time at least once a week. Even at that age I thought it was boring as shit.
Was that India line as random in context as it seems? Next time I'm playing ball with a kid, I'm going to say "Did you know that the White House was burned to the ground during the War of 1812?"
He goes on to tell Scott that Gandhi said 'an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind'. Meaning, I guess, that he should turn the other cheek with Pete and not resort to violence, which is why Scott was a pacifist throughout the rest of the movie.
You can thank us Canadians for torching it.
AKA The Time Canada Kicked America's Ass from Post to Post.
@@ixrisor the british torched it
Wait, a "Parent's Guide" on the back? Wasn't that also on the back of "How I Saved the President"? Oh god, that's the same studio from "Flyin' Ryan" RUN AWAY
Parents Guide? For a white washed ridiculously screened film like this? This movie was made for babies that would get offended if somebody said "darn" and depicted a couple were drinking a bottle of wine! What a bunch of pussies!!!
+Nicsho Thank the Lord my Nana didn't know these existed when I was a kid. She would have made me watch em all! 😂
Flyin' Ryan, you say?
You know it's a religious movie when the only black guy is a poster of Michael Jordan
I'm also really glad Brad Jones featured on "DVD-R Hell" those awful "Hell's Bells" Christian propaganda tapes that were trying to guilt-trip people out of listening to contemporary music. My mom and stepdad subjected me to those tapes too. And I grew up not even knowing the mainstream very well to begin with. People like my mom and stepdad were doing everything in their power to make me extremely unwell. And if I committed the mortal sin of trying to be well at all, my mom the psycho (very much an equivalent of the Mother Superior in "Silent Night, Deadly Night") pulled extremely sick, traumatizing shit on me, and to this day she keeps repeatedly claiming nobody has done anything to me. She's that amorally far gone. And when I was about 27 and was having a conversation to her and mentioned the mainstream, she didn't even know what that is, even though she's a grown adult. To her, everything is either holy or secular, and that's it. She doesn't even have any concept of the mainstream, even though she's one of the most disturbingly worst products of the mainstream. Hell, she pulls fucked up, sick shit on you if you so much as feel morally disturbed by her actions.
This is one of your best reviews Snob. I come back to this one again and again and I still laugh.
And They Banged, Hard! Best one liner ever Snob!
I'm glad you brought up the messed up way fhey delivered the news about Pete. Even as a kid, I was like, "What's up with that?"
My church actually has the Buttercream Gang, I was so happy to hold the VHS in my hand.
I've seen this twice, both times in churches. That should say all you need to know about the quality of this film. The guy who plays Pete isn't that bad of an actor, though.
A Cinema Snob review of a movie I've actually seen? Truly, this is a historic occasion.
pretty sure I watched this as a kid...living in small town Mississippi ...its probably a garuntee that you saw this fucking movie.
grew up in TN. these were pretty much the only family movies my grandmother would buy for when the grandkids were at her place.
same, kind of what sucks about growing up in the bible belt I suppose.
Are there shoes hanging on the power lines of the people living there, like in that mystery utopia small town in Tim Burton's Big Fish? LOL
They showed this in school. I actually kinda liked it.
Saw it when I was a kid too.
There's a movie called Both Sides of the Law made by the same director and Michael Weatherred reprises his role as Pete! I heard about it on a podcast and confirmed it via imdb. I've been struggling to find it though...finding that movie is my bucket list
Pete doesn't have a dragon, 0/10.
You ever watch a Cinema Snob review and halfway through stop and realize, "Holy shit. I've seen this movie before!"
To be honest, I thought this movie was about a bake-off. I'm so disappointed. :(
That certainly would cut down on the gay sex jokes.
This may be the hardest I've laughed at a Cinema Snob episode in a while.
I can't wait for the sequel. "The Buttercream Gang 3: Rise of the Minorities."
So my family are hoarders and we were organizing a box of old VHS tapes. Guess what we found? I was laughing so hard to myself.
I honestly don't remember ever watching it or even hearing of it before this review. But it doesn't surprise me at all that my mom would have gotten something like this.
His parents are deceased, he is passed around to family members and he's under 18 but his friends dont understand his life is difficult?? These folks are awful
Buttercreamers sounds like a really hot fetish.
Pete was probably stealing 'For the Kicks', to quote Wild Rebels. So, just giving him everything would take all the fun out of it, by making it too easy. Thus, we get what happens in the movie.
Oh my god, please do No More Baths too. That movie has haunted me since I was a kid.
Robbery: "The offense of taking or attempting to take the property of another by force or threat of force." He's still robbing you, dude. Just because you cave in to his threats doesn't make it not robbery anymore.
Whenever I hear the term "buttercream", I think of buttercream frosting on cakes or truffles with buttercream filling. I'm not sure what Brad's thinking is exactly when he hears "buttercream", but knowing him, his interpretation of that term is likely much nastier.
Nevertheless, he got great comedic mileage out of this hokey-ass movie. "And then they bang. HAAAAARD."
You haven't seen as many porn films as he has...
@@Tareltonlives You're right, I haven't, but knowing the kind of stuff he's reviewed in the past, porn and all, I'm not surprised that he would see just how unintentionally nasty the title could be.
Cinema Snob you are the gift that keeps on giving. My religious aunt bought me this as a kid, I had no idea wtf was going on except there was a lot of bikes and hokey kids, and now i re-discovered it as an adult thanks you your review.
At first, I thought he was going to say the name of the sequel was "The Buttercream Gang in Space."
looking at that quiz I'm going to assume this movie was made for teachers to show students in a behavioral class
Brokeback Mountain kids edition
This is four years old and I just discovered it...I watch it at least once a week.
You can't have a buttercreame gang without a lemon party...i feel cheated
For as much as Snob has used "... and The ButterCream Gang!" as a punchline in the past, I'm so glad he's finally getting around to posting a review of it. I feel like this has been the video I've been waiting for.
Pennzoil Foxworthy had me rolling 😂😂😂
I can just imagine the big buttercreamer (his name escapes me) coming out with "got the right one baby. Uh huh, uh huh" in the middle of Scott's father's funeral.
They should make a 3rd film called the buttercream gang 3 its about the characters from the first 2 films with children of their own and the kids are new generation of buttercreamers that set out to stop property developers from tearing down an old church and they even have like fundraiser and petition to stop the property developers from tearing down the church im also surprised they havent made a remake or reboot the property developers plan to tear down the church an replace it with apartments or something like that
