A great movie for kids. Watch as small town boys learn how to show forgiveness and unconditional love for a friend in need of their help.

Funny, traditional kids. Most kids today wouldn't understand because they do not know what they're missing so shame on most parents today.

What an entertaining way to teach biblical principles without preaching. Every neighborhood in America need a Buttercream Gang! I highly recommend this movie to parents who want to teach caring, trust, and responsibility to their children. There is hope for the one man out as long as there is a Buttercream Gang!!

Movie Reviews
Arguably one of the greatest family films...of all time.

"Words cannot express the essence and magnificence of this incredible motion picture. Seeing it for the first time on VHS as a young adolescent, I considered the movie to be rather humorous. The teenage boys dressed in rolled-up shorts and high socks and saying things like "Maybe you should look the word 'fun' up in the dictionary," can be viewed as funny to all ages. However, the message expressed in this tale of a struggling friendship outweighs any of the silly aspects. The main song that is played in a couple scenes throughout the movie is as equally vital and heart-warming; and supports the storyline perfectly. It's a movie everyone can relate to in some way. Seeing it at that age, I was very skeptical and judgemental. But something about it made me watch the Buttercream Gang again... and again. I showed it to my peers and eventually the movie became a classic masterpiece for both family and friends. I recently bought a used DVD copy and watched it for the first time in about 5 years ... and it was simply magnificent! Buy this movie today, watch it, put it in a locked cabinent for 3 months, and WATCH IT AGAIN. It will change your life."
Funny movie with morals!

"This movie is wonderful. I loved that the boys were so helpful with the townspeople, even with their friend who turned to "other friends". This story of compassion and unconditional love, even amongst boys, is a great turning-of-age movie, appropriate for all ages. My seven-year-old loved it."
The ButterCream Gang

"The ButterCream Gang Scott, Pete, Eldon, and Larry share fun and friendship as the "ButterCream Gang". They live in a small town called Elkridge. The group is temporarily separated when Pete moves to Chicago for the school year. He joins a local gang, a pretty bad gang. When Pete returns to Elkridge, his friends notice he has changed. They were wondering what happened back in Chicago. As Pete struggles, old friendships are challenged and the boys learn the true meaning of unconditional love.
My opinion on this movie is that it teaches us to hang out with the right kind of people (gang), and be who you are. It is approximately 95 minutes long. I loved this movie and I hope you enjoy it too.
I would recommend that you watch this movie because it will teach you responsibility and it may become your favorites. It is a great movie and I hope you enjoy it ."
Better the second time around

"OK, so it's cheesy. It's lame at times. The first time I saw it, I thought, "Dumb!"
However, this movie gets better with time. It has heroes, damsels in distress, villians, great morals, and a idyllic view of small town Midwestern America (without the bitter Sinclair Lewis flavor). Now that I'm 10-12 years older, this is one of those feel-good movies that make you think, "I can do it!"
And if the 'realism' of the ending bothers you, I really suggest you stay away from most TV in general."
