Plot:
Osmo Peltonen (People’s News 11.12.1992) compared the backyard heroes at the same time-dosed premiere at the Parrot man : “Kaarlo Merimaan books that drew backyard heroes .. Manages to cleanly push through a date with a children’s perspective on time, the picture and the child actors, this may possibly sense the effect on the Danish and Swedish children’s films backyard the weakness of heroes is that there is not enough tendency in the episodic story, especially if it is compared to a parrotsman who often looks quite “right” in the film. ”
“The tutor’s grip is not enough to keep a variety of episodes in size,” Katriina Kauppila also said. (Lapsen Maailma 2/1993). “There is a chance to find a movie but, for example, a hysterical but subdued comedy is just a promise, but the heroes of the backyard are a paradise for the first time in a nice way down the road, but it is not trying to crawl from the sky but just to reach it.”
“Pohjola seeks out a narrative nostalgic genius and a humorous joke,” wrote Tarmo Poussu (Ilta-Sanomat on December 11, 1992). “The company is still a sham and the cause is not merely a manuscript in the unprecedented episodic nature, but Pohjola can not get its kind of childlike character out of the wild actor performances.
Antti Lindqvist (see 6/1993) and Petri Kemppinen (Helsingin Sanomat 12.12.1992) considered Antti Rimminen as the most pioneering actor for children. “The adult teacher (Mikko Reitala) is the most elaborate,” continued Kemppinen. “He’s a naughty nil, a seemingly living adult memory of childhood.” (google translated)

John Milton is a boy from an ordinary background who wins a scholarship to a private school in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. Surrounded by boys with nicknames like Gecko, Rambo, Rain Man and Mad Dog, Spud has his hands full trying to adapt to his new home. Along the way Spud takes his first tentative steps along the path to manhood. (The path it seems could be a rather long road). Spud is an only child. He is cursed with parents from well beyond the lunatic fringe and a senile granny. His dad is a fervent anti-communist who is paranoid that the family domestic worker is running a shebeen from her room at the back of the family home. His mom is a free spirit and a teenager’s worst nightmare, whether it’s shopping for Spud’s underwear in the local supermarket, or sneaking food into her handbag at school functions. Armed with only his wits and his diary, Spud takes us from illegal night swimming to the red-hot furnace of the cricket pitch, from ghostbusting to a catastrophic family vacation. He also invites us into the mind of a boy struggling to come to terms with a strange new world, a boy whose eyes are being opened to love, friendship and complete insanity.
