Patrick Smash (Cook) is an 11-year-old boy with a remarkable skill for farting. His amazing ability leads him to worldwide fame, and eventually enables him to fulfil his lifelong ambition to travel into space as a NASA astronaut with the help of his good friend Alan A Allen (Grint).

For what it is, I thought this was a very entertaining movie. It seems to get frowned upon, mainly because the hero basically breaks wind for an hour and a half, but I thought this was an all round perfect children’s movie with lots of ridiculous notions and whacky inventions which will keep kids entertained through the whole movie.
