Its not that bad

Safety Patrol is the sort of movie you're either going to love or hate. Its definately aimed at younger audiences and there are plenty or cheesy or corny laughs but its not that bad. Leslie Neilson and Weird Al perform only SHORT cameos in the film but their scenes are worth watching.

I saw the film twice and on the second viewing I realised that for a B grade movie the humour does grow on you.

The movie is worth watching even if it's just for a few laughs. Good for the entire family.
