thagaraaru is a movie starring arulnidhi , v . jayaprakash , and mayilsamy . the protagonist and his 3 friends are a gang of notorious robbers who make merry in madurai . their way of life earns them a handful of formidable rivals . an intense depiction of friendship and love marred by rivalry and vengeance ensues .
but for the romantic number ( ‘thiruttupaya pulla’ ) , dharan’s music , background score included , grates the ear . thagaraaru is arulnithi’s fourth film after vamsam , udayan and mounaguru . how could the young hero settle for such a lacklustre script after waiting for nearly two years , particularly after his worthy , much - acclaimed mounaguru ?
the strand of friendship among saravanan , pazhani , senthil and aarumugam running through the warp and weft of the plot is one of those rare redeeming features of thagaraaru . they are as thick as thieves , literally ! in a scenario where gang wars are common and the police force is also hounding them , one of them gets killed and that’s the beginning of the end .
after some excellent underplay in mounaguru , arulnithi’s performance goes for a toss in the romantic scenes of thagaraaru . in an effort to make him look comedic , vinaayac manages to make the hero appear absolutely inane . a pathetic attempt at levity ! footwork is still not arul’s forte , but he makes a mark in the sequences where he’s unable to get over the death of his friend .
the songs have come out very well . i have written the lyrics for two songs . thiruttu paya pulla and super thirudan . i like behindwoods a lot . i have followed behindwoods on facebook , twitter and google plus . behindwoods is straight forward in their reviews . i liked two songs a lot in the thagaraaru album and you had given thumbs up for exactly the same tracks .
revenge without focus is the fulcrum of thagaraaru ( u / a ) . the sickle - and - scythe culture made out to be synonymous with madurai is the base of the film . so much so , the beauty and religiosity of the city dotted with exquisite temples go unnoticed . for quite a while the film meanders through a path of romance and robbery before the director actually decides to steer the course of the story to a bloody end . thagaraaru is about four sagacious thieves . yet strangely , the men , who plan their heists around the city with admirable intelligence , are senseless and impulsive while tracing the real enemy ! writer - director ganesh vinaayac ( the spelling is befuddling ! ) gets himself stuck with a story that isn’t convincing and characters that lack stability .
a deserving break for pawanji ( senthil ) , who has been hovering in the wings for long ! as the protective friend he scores . and be it sulil kumar ( pazhani ) or aarumugam ( murugadas ) , each has a significant part to play . not often do you see friends of heroes , or for that matter , the heroine in significant roles . thagaraaru is an exception .
it is as though ganesh has decided that violence has to be the mainstay of thagaraaru , whether it is warranted or not . so despite a fair share of suspense and twists , the film doesn’t appeal . plausibility is a casualty at many junctures — heroine meenakshi’s volte face , for instance . also , the rich girl’s responses to the thief’s overtures are unbelievable . all the same , it is a strong role and poorna does a neat job of it .
yeah , we thought of numerous other titles . some of them were sambhavam , ganganam , pagal vettai , pagal kollai , adi odhai kuthu . but the titles were either registered at the producer’s council or at the guild . the titles that i suggested , the producer did not like . the titles he suggested , i did not like . the titles we both liked were already registered . when we were casually speaking about this , the producer uttered the words “ title pudikarudhey orey thagaraara irukku ” . i immediately told him , “ sir thagaraaru is a good title ” . that is how the title came up . all the credits for this title go to the producer .
i hadn’t met arulnithi before . dance master dinesh introduced me to arul sir in thenkasi . i felt he would be apt for the script . everyone was doubtful when i said i wanted arulnithi as the lead . after i narrated the script at cloud nine , durai sir asked me who i had in mind for the lead . i told them arul sir would be apt . the first thing that he asked me was will you be able to handle him . but after i started mingling with him , i realized he is like a child . he is extremely friendly . his character is directly opposite to what people told me about him . he hasn’t come late to the shooting spot one single day . he asks for suggestions even for little things . there has not been any “thagaraaru” between us for anything . he could do anything if he wanted . his brother is the producer . he has such a huge background . but he did not have anything of that sort in his mind . he was friendly , punctual and was a director’s actor .
is a well - made fast moving thriller with a terrific climax twist . it ' s an unpredictable crime drama that combines violence and friendship set in tamil cinema ? s favourite milieu - madurai .
is thrilling for the manner in which the story unfolds with unfamiliar twists and confusing turns that are likely to baffle you along the way . the incidents are all neatly tied up and culminate in a thrilling climax which is gripping and holds your interest for 2 hours and 15 minutes .
four orphans saravanan ( arulnidhi ) , pazhani ( sulile kumar ) senthil ( pawan ) , aarumugam ( murugadoss ) , are thick friends who become hardened thieves and will do anything for money .
sarvanan the youngest of the lot and most daring of the lot falls head over heels in love with meenakshi , the only daughter of the local money lender and tough guy kanthuvatti rajendran ( jayaprakash ) . the friends of saravanan warn him not to mess around with meenakshi , as their trade and friendship will be at stake . but it is too late as the plot thickens .
boasts the best performance you will see by an ensemble cast in a long time , and that includes even the bit players . all the actors get into the skin of their character with ease . arulnithi carries the role of saravanan perfectly and poorna has a meaty role which she excels .
and a host of madurai made films which sets in a sense of d ? j ? vu . technically the film is slick with good camera work and rain effect shots by k dhilraj , bgm of praveen sathya in the climax and fast ? cut editing by ts suresh without any gimmicks .
debutant ganesh vinayacc , has made an impressive debut . amidst all the violence and killing , this film has a full beating heart . for an audience numbed by predictable comedies dished out week after week ,

fast paced folk basher that plays out almost exactly as you expect it to , including the dynamism of the vocal performances . all the innovation that dharan could infuse to the tune comes early on with the screeching pipe instrumentals . it’s business as usual for the singers .
next up is a tune that is surprisingly engaging even if it’s templated in concept . but dharan makes the most of the 5 and odd minutes to get creative with the orchestration dropping in flute solos , piano notes to pair with the pulsating rhythm section . the gradual build up of the crescendo is quite brilliantly devised and ably executed by the singer ananthu . if anything , the sheer persistence of a talented composer to showcase his skills and mettle has led to an impressive result .
this track seems to pick up from the fag end of the poda podi closer in terms of energy , vigor and sound . the tempo is infectiously high and leaves you with little regard for the actual melody when the beats are inescapable . it’s a parade of percussions behind haricharan’s powerhouse performance but you can’t help but wish that the chorus hook was a little more fresh , atleast lyrically , to take this song to a higher level .
again credit to dharan to dish out a folk tune with a refreshing essence while working with simple melodies . the composer embellishes the tune colorfully with his bright instrumentation and backed by the always - enjoyable karthik . the core elements of the song are very much served on the surface but there’s plenty of action in the background that can keep the listener interested and even excited .
verdict : dharan continues to show promise with an album that has some impressive highlights .

synopsis / plot : the protagonist and his 3 friends are a gang of notorious robbers who make merry in madurai . their way of life earns them a handful of formidable rivals . an intense depiction of friendship and love marred by rivalry and vengeance ensues .
thagararu defitinitely scores in one area . it never bores you . things keep moving at a lively pace . but if there is more you are looking for then thagararu could disappoint you . that someone who takes a sickle dies by it has been told umpteen times in tamil cinema . for that to make an impact either . . . ( more )
there is never a dull moment in the taut story , there are certain portions where dialogues seem repetitive . however , that really don ' t seem to be a problem in the screenplay that is highly supportive of friendship . dillraj has put his heart to canning all shots , with exceptional perfection , especial . . .

four thick as thieves ( literally ) friends earn a lot of enemy with their roguish behaviour . when one of them is murdered , the other three thirst for revenge . but who among their foes is behind the deed ? ( more )
arulnithi’s new film thagararu audio is being launched today ( nov 18 ) at an fm station through sony music . the ad says the music is by dharun kumar who was earlier known as dharan .
thagararu is an action film set in a village milieu and is directed by ganesh vinayak and produced by cloud nine movies . the film stars arulnithi and poorna in the lead roles .
bringing in whites in a couple of scenes and making them look stupid seem to be the latest trend in our films . it may be an exciting ego trip for frontbenchers , but it is neither funny nor believable .
storyline : it is about four friends . thieving is their job , and after a point it is problems galore .

muppozhudum un karpanaiyil starring atharva and amala paul was in news for its unique posters , fresh casting and for the fact that simran turned down the role of playing mother to the hero . there is now trouble for the film as director ganesh vinayak has been ousted from the project by the producer . producer kumar has stepped up to do the direction as well .
when prodded about the reason , the producer said that the director was to finish shooting in 40 days during the bangalore schedule but the shoot went on for 45 days which resulted in misunderstandings and other trouble . deciding not to face this again , the producer asked the director to step out and is now donning the director’s hat himself . director ganesh vinayak was an associate of sj surya and tharun gopi . we wish everything goes on well for the team hereon .
this is my first film . i assisted tarun gopi sir in thimiru and kaalai and also assisted simbu in kettavan . i am happy that i have learned a lot from them .
from tarun gopi sir , i learned how to handle a script . it was a backbone for me . i have great respect for him . i learned a lot of things from simbu . i am lucky to have worked with him . i have learned how to handle a movie technically . simbu is up to date about the technical side of films . kamal haasan sir is known for his up to date knowledge about films . after kamal i have seen it with simbu . be it music , photography , sound , direction , acting , dance and singing , he has good knowledge about everything .
he is great as a person . he knows how exactly to behave with people . when we go to a restaurant , he asks us to give respect to the waiters . he would say the waiter should not get the feeling that he is working for us . he asks us to address them as sir . he is like a mirror . he looks at you , just like how you look at him . if you are friendly with him , he would be friendly with you . if you behave badly , you’ll get the same behavior from him .
the people who supported me to get this project are sushanth , ceo of cloud nine . he was the one who took me to the cloud nine office . i would also like to take this opportunity to thank actor mahat , who played a major role in helping me get this project . i also wish to express my sincere gratitude to producer dhayanidhi alagiri sir . people often think twice before lending others some money . but durai sir , ( stops midways and says , that’s how we call him ) has trusted me and invested a lot of money for this movie .
it is an action thriller based in madurai . the movie is based on four thieves saravanan , senthil , arumugam and palani . all four are names of lord murugan ( smiles ) . arulnithi plays saravanan and his character in the movie is what he is originally . there are a few scenes where arulnithi speaks broken english . they’ve come out very well . it is a very usual story . but i guarantee that the audience will not be cheated .
we were reported that you had raghunanthan on board for the music . how did you end up working with dharan ?
yes , it was raghunanthan who was to compose the music for us initially . but , i wanted the songs as soon as possible . raghu is a good friend . he told me that he was held up and asked me to go ahead with someone else and that is how dharan came in . dharan is a good friend too . he used to come to meet simbu before poda podi . that’s how we became friends . however , the bgm was done by praveen sathya as dharan was busy . at some points i was scared how a few scenes would shape up . but praveen’s bgm has taken those scenes to another level . praveen actually looked modern when i met him . i was not sure if he would be able to handle a native subject . but after seeing his work i realized that music has no language .
poorna will act as a college girl who never goes to college . ( laughs )
no . as per the script she is a college girl . but we have not taken any portions of her in college . that’s what i meant . she plays jaya prakash ( jp ) sir’s daughter . jp sir is a local financier in the film . poorna has a very important role to play . poorna was also very friendly and professional in the sets . we had no issues with her either , whatsoever . generally most heroines from kerala are professional . i have also worked with nayanthara , amala paul and asin and all of them were very professional .
it was pooja who referred me her name . we auditioned many people . arul is tall . we needed someone who would match his height . nothing worked . finally we closed in on pooja . but , two days later she called and told that she wouldn’t be able to do the project and referred me to poorna .
yes . definitely . i have plans of making a movie with simbu . we are good friends . actually i was supposed to make a movie with him first . but he was busy with the love anthem song with akon and i got committed to this project . but , you will definitely write about the student who directed his guru in the near future .

remember ajith’s grand opening in mankatha , where he comes flying in a car and lands before the foes ? the film’s producer , dhayanidhi alagiri was recently at the same location where that opening scene was made , but for a different reason . cloud nine’s next venture , thagararu starring dhayanidhi’s cousin arulnidhi has started rolling . the first day’s shoot was canned at the same location where ajith’s establishing shot in mankatha was made . when questioned why this particular location , the producer termed it as “sentimental” . thagararu is being directed by ganesh vinayak and features poorna as the female lead .
arulnidhi , who impressed with mouna guru was supposed to do a film called sambhavam for cousin , dayanidhi alagiri ' s cloud nine movies . this film has undergone a title change and will be called thagararu . poorna is the heroine and this commercial entertainer set in madurai which narrates the story of four friends will be directed by ganesh vinayak .
music is be raghunath and editing by ts suresh . mayilsamy will be providing the comic relief . shooting is well underway for this film . the cast and crew are feeling upbeat and and are keen to deliver a good product .
anna nadai is yet another seemingly authentic tamil folk song that has a tune that simply goes everywhere . nanba nanba is the kind of song that ‘puts of a lot of sound - u’ but falls flat . super thirudan has a manic rhythm that keeps the predictable tune good company , while the theme just passes muster . the clear winner of the soundtrack is lilting thiruttu paya pulla that proves that the music is really by dharan – with generous voice processing , even for karthik – and not nr raghunanthan who was earlier credited for the film’s music ! standard fare from dharan , otherwise .

the star is currently busy with a couple of films like vettai mannan and poda podi and the love anthem album that he is working on .

looking for movie tickets ? enter your location to see which movie theaters are playing slappy and the stinkers near you .
morgan brinway is a snooty principal whose biggest problem is five feisty kids nicknamed the
stinkers .
when the stinkers find a sea lion slappy , they install him in brinway ' s hot tub . the stinkers attempt to rescue slappy , as groundskeeper roy and animal thief boccoli have their own plans for him .
not to judge a book by its cover , but when you write a column about bad movies and you stumble across something called slappy and the stinkers , you tend to feel like half the work has been done for you . slappy and the stinkers sounds like its own review .
is this movie any good ? well , i ' ll tell you this : it ' s called slappy and the stinkers . the end .
it was a cute story but i felt bad for the principle always in the line of the stinkers trouble .
watching slappy for less than a minute and hearing him break wind is all the motivation the stinkers need to arrive at the decision that they must get slappy out of the aquarium and back into the ocean , where he will surely be happier and less gassy . a sequence of events too nonsensical to be described in human language leads to the stinkers getting slappy out of the facility and on to the school bus . their plan is to sneak him back to dartmoor , and then to figure out how to get him to the ocean . they contemplate this from the parking lot of the aquarium , from which the ocean is clearly visible and cannot be more than 100 yards away .
in the otherwise unremarkable comedy ' ' slappy and the stinkers , ' ' which stretches the youthful mischief of the old ' ' our gang ' ' - ' ' little rascals ' ' shorts on the rack of feature length , one of the characters has the good grace to attribute some of the film ' s sources .
' ' slappy and the stinkers ' ' is rated pg ( parental guidance suggested ) . ignoring the fact that its premise involves theft and a wide spectrum of other crimes , the film includes ungenteel language that should come as no surprise to most small children .
not all the derivative elements of ' ' slappy and the stinkers ' ' - - the ' ' home alone ' ' assaults on boccoli , for example - - are acknowledged ; but like so many innovations , the film footnote arrives with potential for improvement .
like many of their dolphin friends , several of the sea lions are movie stars . torey was thrust into the spotlight after playing the title role in the movie andre and pj also had parts in the movie . both starred alongside another one of our sea lions , murray in the movie slappy and the stinkers , and were also featured in an ad for reynolds wrap .
on a dark winter ' s day , other 7 - year - olds whose film memory bank remains similarly and understandably undernourished may find ' ' slappy and the stinkers ' ' a welcome alternative to an afternoon of snow - filled galoshes .
five 2nd - grade kids who don ' t follow strict rules by their school principal brinway are dubbed
stinkers
by him . on the class visit to an aquarium the stinkers decide that a sea lion called slappy doesn ' t feel too good there ,
free
him , and plant him into brinway ' s hot - tub .
five best friends - - enthusiastic nonconformists all - - meet slappy , the sea lion , on a field trip . the
stinkers ,
as they are called by the private school ' s disaster - prone headmaster ( b . d . wong ) think that slappy is unhappy in his small aquarium habitat . remembering free willy , the five troublemakers determine that they , too , can make a heroic rescue and return slappy to the ocean . unbeknownst to them , however , an evil sea - lion - napper has other plans for the affable mammal . he , too , intends to steal slappy , train him to do tricks , and then sell him to a circus . the rescuers confront the ' napper and the chase is on .
learning that it stars bronson pinchot , a bunch of annoying kids , and a farting sea lion is almost redundant . of course a movie called slappy and the stinkers stars bronson pinchot , a bunch of annoying kids , and a farting sea lion . what else could it be ?
it is decided that slappy will spend the night with witz ( carl michael lindner ) , the asthmatic nerd and neurotic worry - wart of the group . the rest of the stinkers tuck slappy into bed with witz and then one of them says ,
try not to wheeze ! to a sea lion , a wheeze might sound like a mating call !
this only makes witz more nervous , which makes him wheeze , which makes slappy kiss him on the forehead , which makes everyone laugh because now witz might get molested by a sea lion , lol .
the next day they load slappy into an old free - standing bathtub they have lying around , put it on a wagon , and use their bicycles to haul it to the beach . ( to their credit , they do not go to the same beach that they walked past when they left the aquarium . ) but slappy looks out into the ocean , sees stock footage of a killer whale , and refuses to enter the water because killer whales eat sea lions .
no , it ' s ok !
the stinkers tell him .
it ' s just stock footage ! it ' s from another movie !
but slappy won ' t listen , on account of not having ears . now the stinkers ' plan is to take slappy back to the aquarium they stole him from in the first place , making this the most confused conservation message i ' ve ever seen in a movie .

the stinkers have allies in roy ( bronson pinchot ) , the academy ' s destructive groundskeeper , and harriet ( jennifer coolidge ) , a teacher who brings a straight - faced slavic - scented lunacy to the proceedings .
maybe i ' m just a softy but i thought this was a wonderful ( and believable ! ) family film . the expressions on the children ' s faces when they first see slappy was priceless - - and the final scene was nothing but laughs . i ' m a literature college professor so i ' ve read and seen my share of
stinkers
. this one smells good !
nicknamed the
stinkers
by the snooty headmaster ( wong ) of the private school where they are on summer enrichment scholarships , five feisty kids wreak havoc and humor with their irrepressible sense of adventure and ingenuity . they band together to build a flying machine powered by a leaf blower , escape from the comic villain in their homemade hotrod - bathtub - bikeplane , and even pull off the daring
rescue
of a contented sea lion in a misguided effort to free slappy !
in any event , the stinkers have little patience for the classroom and devote themselves to mischief that usually results in disaster for mr . brimway , his clothing or his beloved cherry - colored jaguar xjs convertible .
the plot revolves around the efforts of five foolish but imaginative children to steal a flatulent sea lion named slappy from the local aquarium and return it to the ocean . before anyone can say , ' ' hey , you ' re lifting the plot of ' free willy , ' ' ' the children acknowledge that if the idea was good enough for the whale , it is good enough for the sea lion .
they get slappy back to dartmoor and hide him for the afternoon in mr . brinway ' s hot tub . wouldn ' t a hot tub actually be a terrible place for a sea lion ? don ' t worry , the film clears up that plot hole by having the stinkers mix in a lot of ice and salt , thereby recreating slappy ' s natural habitat . but how will they feed him ? don ' t worry , the film addresses that plot hole , too , by having the stinkers order $ 150 worth of fish from a local fish - and - chips franchise and telling the delivery guy to just charge it to brinway . you know how take - out restaurants will deliver food to your house and you can just say ,
oh , charge this to so - and - so ?
it ' s like that .
in the long historical march of motion pictures , studded with images and effects that dazzle the eye , assault the ear and boggle the mind , now comes film with footnotes .
the stinkers wreak havoc at summer camp when they kidnap a sea lion . pure family fun ! © 1998 tristar pictures , inc . all rights reserved .
meanwhile , a villain named boccoli ( sam mcmurray ) has been trying to steal slappy himself so that he can sell him to a circus on the black market . this was before craigslist , when the only way circuses could get animals was from the back of a guy ' s van . but never fear , the kids pull a lot of painful pranks on boccoli , home alone - style , and rescue slappy and get him back to the aquarium , where he ' ll live happily and fartily ever after .
after an applause greeting by mangers and staff and being told that they were the first official guests , the portugues party were given an informative and educational lecture regarding sea lions and were then led to the sea lion habitat .
it ' s during this field trip that the stinkers encounter slappy the sea lion . within seconds of being introduced as a character , slappy farts loudly , as if the movie was worried that his being a sea lion wouldn ' t be enough of a novelty to hold our interest .
sure , he ' s an aquatic mammal who does tricks ,
said a producer .
but today ' s kids have already seen that ! i ' ll be damned if they ' ve seen a farting seal , though ! !
slappy farts three more times in the movie , and also has a scene where he gorges on chocolate - flavored laxative and then sits on a toilet . kind of a waste that the movie paid for a whole sea lion when all it needed was the anus .
the stinkers had no adults that could be counted upon to help them . does that feel like a real situation ? if you need help , who can you count on ?

slappy tells the kids that he is happiest in his home at the aquarium . there is controversy about whether or not to keep wild things in captivity for education and / or entertainment . what do you think ? how could you find out more about this subject ?
slappy and the stinkers is the kind of generic - brand , pseudo - disney children ' s comedy that you ' ll see playing on the vcr in a pediatrician ' s waiting room , and which will one day be logged into evidence after a receptionist loses her mind from watching it all day and murders someone . it was conjured into existence , perhaps using dark magicks , after the success of free willy made marine animals all the rage in hollywood . sats doesn ' t even bother to hide its inspiration . when the kids decide to help a sea lion escape from an aquarium , one of them says ,
like free willy ! it ' s free slappy !
i ' m surprised that wasn ' t the movie ' s advertising tagline .
it ' s like free willy , but with a seal !
witz ? two pieces of advice : don ' t insult him [ slappy ] . and try not to wheeze . because , to a sea lion , a wheeze can sound like a mating call .
coolidge had a regular role in the nbc sitcom joey as joey ' s agent , appearing in 37 of 46 episodes in the series . she originally starred in an episode of friends in its final season as amanda , a tactless and uninhibited wannabe whom phoebe and monica try to shake off . prior to her friends appearance , she was a regular on she tv , a very short - lived sketch comedy that also featured nick bakay , elon gold , simbi khali , and linda kash . she also has appeared on according to jim , playing jim ' s sister and in an episode of sex and the city , and on frasier as frederica , martin crane ' s new physical therapist . coolidge also appeared in the kiddie comedy slappy and the stinkers and as adam sandler ' s wife ' s friend , janine , in the 2006 comedy film click .
brinway is assisted by a woman named harriet , played by jennifer coolidge doing an annoying scandinavian comedy accent . when something goes wrong and brinway starts mincing and flouncing and blustering like a fey yosemite sam - - in other words , about every eleven seconds - - harriet is usually there to calm him down with her annoying scandinavian comedy accent . jennifer coolidge and b . d . wong are both skilled actors who have been delightful to watch in other productions , and if you asked either of them about slappy and the stinkers i bet they would pretend not to know what you were talking about .
and when they run afoul of boccoli ( sam mcmurray ) , a villain bent on stealing poor slappy for himself and then teaching the creature a few stereotypical tricks before peddling it to a bulgarian circus , boccoli ' s ability to bounce back from all manner of mayhem reminds the children of ' ' terminator .

the stinkers - - sonny ( joseph ashton ) , witz ( carl michael linder ) , lucy ( scarlett pomers ) , loaf ( travis tedford ) and domino ( gary leroi gray ) , who quotes films - - are an appealing lot . the film ' s humor , including peanut butter and jelly sandwiches , whipped cream , slushy drinks and bird droppings in the face , as well as the destruction of the school carnival , is on a level calculated to appeal to their contemporaries .

the kids figure brinway never comes home early and never uses his hot tub anyway , whereupon brinway decides to do both . ( he makes the decision immediately , lest we forget the comedy set - up that has been put into place . ) so then there are shenanigans and hijinks related to getting slappy out of the hot tub before brinway sees him , and to brinway wearing an american flag speedo , and to whatever other assorted humiliations the movie can conceive to inflict upon brinway in this short space of time , lest we forget that without farting sea lions and abused authority figures , the movie would just be 15 minutes of over - acting children shouting dumb dialogue .
victor portugues also enjoyed the sea lion encounter . “we have been coming to the bahamas since 1996 and have been to dolphin encounters on blue lagoon island before and really enjoyed the dolphin programs and had booked dolphin swims for this trip . then we learned about the sea lion encounter and wanted to try something new and i am really glad we did . it was really different and a great deal of fun – each one of us enjoyed it immensely . ”
the facility has also made the lifetime dream of many children come true by participating in the make - a - wish foundation program .
trippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .
“this day marks a very special milestone for our company , ” added mr . meister . “our goal is to offer our guests educational , fun , safe and interactive programs that allow participants to connect with our animals on a personal level and the new sea lion encounter does that . we continue to innovate and to offer new experiences . the official grand opening is planned for later in the year but the program is open and we welcome all bahamians and visitors alike to come and experience this exciting and very entertaining program . ”

the stinkers of the title are a group of five kids , all about 8 years old , who are attending a summer program at the prestigious dartmoor academy , a snooty private school run by fussy headmaster morgan brinway ( b . d . wong ) . the group consists of a tough - talking leader , a good kid , an asthmatic nerd , a girl , and a black boy , which means they meet the federal requirements to be registered as a little rascals knock - off and are therefore eligible for grant money . brinway calls them the stinkers because they are always getting into trouble - - nothing serious , just whimsical mischief along the lines of attaching a leaf - blower and some wings to a desk chair to see if they can make it fly . ( they cannot . ) they also like to sneak out of the opera appreciation class that brinway teaches , though that can hardly be described as
stinky
behavior when it is the only natural response to such a class .
“it is with great pleasure that we welcomed the portugues family and their friend as the first guests of our exciting new sea lion program , ” said robert meister , managing director of dolphin encounters ltd . “one of the few programs of its kind in the world , the sea lion encounter is truly unique as it allows guests to interact with these extraordinarily playful animals face - to - face in a fun and educational experience . the portugues family is the first to participate in our sea lion encounter and we wanted to mark the occasion with a celebration . ”
all the grownups are one - dimensional and portrayed as bumbling , self - absorbed , or clueless . the kids are a stereotypically diverse mix of
fiesty girl ,
the leader ,
witty african - american ,
asthmatic , but cute scared kid ,
and
problem - solver .
the kids do work together with integrity to save an animal , defeat school bullies and an evil sea - lion - napper , and wreak havoc on the dim - witted school principal .
the sea lion encounter program , the first of its kind in the bahamas , is based on dolphin encounters’ highly successful and award - winning dolphin interactive programs and allows guests to meet california sea lions up - close in their pristine all - natural marine mammal habitat which allows even more things to do on paradise island in the bahamas .

this is silly , mindless , often crude fun for those who like their humor on the broad side . it ' s got clueless adults who fall and get banged up a lot , ridiculous pie - in - the - face villains , and oh - so - cutesy kids who grin a lot and utter sassy wisecracks on cue .

the other employee at dartmoor is roy , the groundskeeper and bus driver and all - around handyman played by bronson pinchot . roy is clearly meant to be a stoner , but he has to be the pg - rated , kid - friendly kind of stoner who just comes across as incredibly stupid , like shaggy in scooby - doo or tara reid in real life . during a field trip to the local aquarium , roy hears the word
octopus
and says ,
octopus ? here , puss , puss , puss ! ,
because he thinks it ' s a kind of cat . then the octopus in question reaches out of the water and grabs roy ' s hair with its tentacles , for comedy . it is that kind of movie .
amelia lives only with her son samuel , who ' s still afraid of monsters under the bed or in the closet . . .
clownish action from beginning to end . there are only two brief and perhaps disturbing scenes in which the villain tries to train a kidnapped sea lion by chaining him and using an electric prod . otherwise there are no serious injuries and there is no actual suspense , just lots of slapstick action .
“the animals very quickly became adapted to their home here at dolphin encounters and enjoy learning new behaviours , ” said ms . terrell . “our new program is a wonderful experience for the animals as well as visitors . it is a new opportunity to interact with another marine mammal species and provides extraordinary educational opportunities for the thousands of students that visit our facility . ”
potty humor throughout includes : farting , mention of peeing and wetting pants , smelly poop references ; characters get hit in the crotch numerous times ; the seal lion accidentally eats an entire package of laxative after which the creature is seen on the toilet . infrequent coarse language including
hell ,
pissant ,
farthead ,
crap .

the six sea lions , pj , kalika , xena , maggie , torey , all female , and murray a male , came to dolphin encounters over a year ago after surviving hurricane katrina and the destruction of their former home at marine life oceanarium in gulfport , mississippi . having all been born under human care , their habitat at blue lagoon island was first time the animals had ever been in a natural ocean environment .
a former soldier is taken captive and awakens in the back of a van where he learns that he only has a few moments to figure out how he got there .
( note : bronson pinchot ' s character serves no function in the story . it is possible that he was included only because pinchot was under contract and had to rack up another 10 minutes of screen time before the studio would let him go . )
combined with an abundance of fart and poop jokes , it ' s juvenile humor at best - - a time - waster with a few good laughs and an engaging sea lion .
