This film has a hilarious story, great acting (Jim Varney from the 'Earnest' films makes a major character appearance, Louan Gideon, who was Danielle Atron on The Secret World of Alex Mack plays the role of Mrs. Stevens, etc.), and it does have some genuinely funny jokes. The story was really different, the tale of a lazy kid, Timmy, who holds escaped convict Carl hostage to bring to his teacher for a Current Events class - if he fails his project, Mrs. Stevens will place him in summer school, much to the joy of his school principal, Ott "the Snot", a sadistic guy who doesn't seem to like kids at all. However, Timmy doesn't expect to befriend Carl.
Overall not a bad kids' film, but all the fart jokes got on my nerves. Those jokes were lame, disgusting and definitely not creative by any stretch of the imagination. Some of the characters were really annoying too, like Buddy (what's the purpose of him other than just to be generally gross?) If all the flatulence jokes were removed, or at least cut down, I would have liked it a lot more.
