It’s not so much he eats too much – far from it, he is instead
cursed by flatulence of typhoon-like ferocity.
Poor young Patrick is a fearsome farter whose intestines
spark panic in enclosed spaces and create chaos in school
assemblies.
Luckily for him he makes friends with a young geek called
Alan A Allen (Rupert Grint) who not only may be able to invent
something to help him, but also doesn’t have a sense of smell.
Together they manage to turn Patrick’s unfortunate habit
into adventures with an opera vendetta and space travel.
Thunderpants is very much a one-joke movie that manages to
remain amusing, while not always in good taste.
Still, it did manage to attract actors of the caliber of
Simon Callow, Stephen Fry and Ned Beatty and it’s also interesting
to see Rupert Grint before he won fame in the Harry Potter
films.
