The Peanut Butter Solution -- a little bit sweet, a little bit salty, great chunks of fun blended to perfection.

The Peanut Butter Solution is a movie that sticks to the roof of your mind. This highly imaginative movie for kids is the work of Montreal director-writer Michael Rubbo.

One of the enduring weirdo kids classics of Canadian cinema, this 1985 film about bullying, body horror and the exploitative nature of the free market is also spry, adventurous and fun.

It sounds cliche but they really don't make'em like this anymore. Weirdness abounds in this trippy Canuck kids film that left a helluva impression on me after a single haphazard viewing.
