I loved this film, I am about to list many great reasons why you should too....

First of all the singing was absolutely outstanding because it was bold and powerful, especially "Tallula "(my name is "Tallula").

Secondly, I loved the two gangs because they both had different captains with very different styles. The good guys were Fat Sam and Bugsy Malone. The other gang had invented a new weapon called the splurge gun which made them more dangerous.

Thirdly, I loved the humour in this film. I liked the fact that most of the men had moustaches even though they were only about 12. Also I liked it when the baddies were chasing Bugsy in the car and they ended up in the duck pond. I also liked the ending when both gangs had the biggest and most terrifying splurge battle. However, then the piano started to play and everyone started singing and both gangs became friends.

Overall, the best bit for me was when Bugsy went into the orphanage and him and the orphans broke into the splurge factory and stole every single gun. I liked this scene because I loved the smallest orphan, he was the one who banged the guards on the heads. He also was funny when they were passing along the baseball bat to him. He said " Give this to Baby Face" when that was him.
