Gets points for sheer peculiarness.

This original concept, a gangster musical spoof with all the roles played by children (Jodie Foster among them), never found its audience, but it's worth checking out.

Pretty goofy idea, but kids will probably be diverted by it.

A cute oddity, mostly because of the talent in front and behind the camera, especially Foster and Parker

A minor masterpiece of it's time

Parker's script is as sharp as a wiseguy's suit, his attention to period and genre detail a constant joy, and he coaxes scarily poised performances from his young performers.

There's little here that delivers even the bare minimum for a musical or a comedy

The songs and set pieces are still fresh and infectious and most of the child cast are mesmerisingly good. I defy anyone not to be caught up in the charm and nostalgia.
