Why is the movie so dark? Not thematically, it just looks like the entire movie was filmed in the middle of the night in a room with one tiny window that is constantly shrinking
The title "the peanut butter solution" has this weirdly satisfying, mid 90s feel of picking up books and a vhs from the library after school on a Friday in the fall
A couple points I recall from seeing this movie years ago that were missed here (which is fine) but that I think will make this trippy 80's movie make a bit more sense: 1. The ghosts told Michael not to use too much peanut butter. But he added more because the hair potion was too runny and he didn't want it getting in places other than his scalp. 2. The friend thought it'd be cool to have hair on his legs like an older teen or adult, so he put some of the extra on his legs. For some reason he's able to yell at the leg hair to quit growing and it does. This is never explained.
He said "down there" and they both started giggling uncontrollably.. he didn't put it on his legs. 😂 I was their age when I saw this movie and my brothers and I definitely understood what they were talking about and thought it was hilarious in a way only little boys could.
Anti_dev it’s because she is essentially raising and taking care of her little brother while her dad just sits there and does nothing and the mom is traveling
This movie is actually part of an anthology that includes other titles like “Christmas Martians,” “The Dog Who Stopped the War,” “Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller,” and “The Case of the Witch Who Wasn’t.” They were also all made into books. The last film in this series came out in 2014.
Interesting. I was going to say it really felt like the plot to an old children's story. It honestly seems like it's trying to rip off the style of Roald Dahl with the abusive but comedic adults and the bizarre magical realism.
I get that old classics are not as "fun" to kids, but they used to actually teach kids; "Little Men, The Secret Garden, Pilgrim's Progress, Daughter of Venice, even Animal Farm.
Barbie’s version of Rapunzel even had a magic paintbrush she could use to paint real places (like towns and roads and streets) and actually walk into the paintings. So really it’s just the sweat shops.
i’m watching this around my mom and she just suddenly shouted ‘I KNOW THAT MOVIE! I WAS ALWAYS TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT TO PEOPLE BUT NOBODY BELIEVED ME THAT IT WAS REAL’ ohmygod
What's funny to me is if the director had just substituted in an eccentric uncle or magic shop owner instead of ghosts, made the señor more wacky but ultimately friendly and harmless, and made the dad and/or the principal more malicious toward the kids then we would have a fun and lighthearted Roald Dahlian kids movie

NaomiGigi It’s really easy to mix up, but his name is the Signor. It’s an Italian term meaning mister and is used sometimes as a form of address for an Italian speaking man. I think his French accent is just an accident when trying to make an Italian accent (like how some can mix up British and Australian accents due to extreme similarities.)
"Señor" isn't really exclusive to Spanish. Italian and Portuguese also use terms that are pronounced almost exactly the same to address men (Signor and Senhor respectively).
Holy shit I think the mystery of my life has been solved. I've had this very vague memory of a weird movie in the back of my head for 20+ years and I'm pretty sure this was it. The only thing I could remember was a kid going into a creepy house and weird shit happening. No wonder I couldn't remember the rest, it was too bonkers for my young mind to comprehend. Thank you so much for unwittingly clearing this up. I'm finally free. lol

Eddy totally glossed over the fact that this film has original songs performed by Celine Dion, and they were her first English-language recordings. She also filmed her first music video for one of them, ”Listen to the Magic Man”
@@EddyBurbackYeah, it makes a lot of sense too. About 90% of the production team is from Québec, but the movie is with anglophone actors and some from Québec as well. It was just a few years before her debut in the US and Canada. She only had a career in Québec and France during that time.
This movie was confusing and strange as a child, and is even more strange as an adult. Also, I never realized how Canadian this movie is (accent wise) until now
This movie made a strong impression on me as a child, it was so freaking weird. I saw it when I had a really bad case of the fllu so I wasn't sure a lot of the things I could remember about it were actually in the movie or just part of a childhood fever dream. Today I found out it was much stranger than I remembered.
I saw this movie once when I was a kid and I still remember just how much it got under my skin, everything about it was horrible and like torture for me to try to watch lol 😆 I wasted my vhs pick on it
@@3llevate I learned today that it wasn't from Quebec. Le marketing m'a toujours fait pensé que c'était québécois. Le titre probablement. C'est un peu comme Slap shot.
Gonna be honest, my reaction to the well-dressed bird was... More intense than it should have been... I don't know why, but I had a very strong emotional response to well dressed bird.
After watching The Peanut Butter Solution again recently, it reminds me of that one scene with Adam Maitland in Beetlejuice where he molds his head to look like a bird. The Beetlejuice poster that includes the bird head for seemingly no reason freaked me out for a few years as a kid, as it was used in lots of ads for the NES game. But I originally saw The Peanut Butter Solution in December 1989 when I was 7, and didn't see Beetlejuice until at least late 1990.
Growing up in Ontario, this movie was a staple of elementary school filmstrips shown in class and general assemblies. It's a Canadian film, and our school system took a lot of pride in showing as many Canadian productions as possible. Other examples that come to mind are "Rainbow War" and "The Sweater". Fond memories.
Bro I’m not even Canadian but “the sweater” is such good meme material, that short is so unintentionally funny. The sweater is a national treasure and I will stand by that
I've always admired how much Canada supported artists and filmmakers. It may not have resulted in the kind of polished productions Hollywood can do, but it's made for a ton of unique and _memorable_ film, television, comics, etc. over the years.
@@crimsonmask3819 And HBO must have picked up a bunch of them real cheap to show during slow hours, I remember seeing both this and The Dog Who Stopped The War around 1988 or so.
it's like the creator of this movie somehow got his hands on a bunch of free wigs, did LSD, and then came up with this premise for a movie and just went with it without editing his original idea or letting anyone else vet it
Ms. Dreavus yo that's one of the most accurate takes on acid that I've heard. probably thought it was GENIUS, and everyone who watched it would understand what he was going for.
Hahahahahah its a movie from Quebec. Funny thing is a lot of our movies from that time period in particular were reaaally weird and I JUST DONT KNOW Why its crazy
Once they got to the actual peanut butter solution, a thousand memories of this movie came rushing back. I've seen this thing. I thought it was a hallucination.
This whole movie sounds like it’d be a strange and distant dream I had and forgot about, clawing its way through my subconscious for an unknown vengeance.
I grew up watching this movie once when I was 7 because my mom rented it for me, and you described exactly what this was for me. Thought I'd hallucinated the whole thing
This movie apparently traumatized my mom when she was younger. And she was an adrenaline junkie. She was fine watching slasher films and rated R action movies, but this movie, for whatever reason, was the one that terrified her.
Watched this in probably 1986 or 1987 with my best friend. We were too little to be WTF so we were just scared shitless. And then no one we knew had ever seen it, so it just became this shared trauma that we mention to each other from time to time when we see each other. "Do you remember The Peanut Butter Solution?" "OMG what the hell was that?"
It might've been legal. The usa has always had a weird relationship with alcohol. Prior to the mid 80s, the age you could drink varied from state to state and what kind of alcohol you drank. It also went up and down and up again over time. I personally think they should either lower it to 18 or raise the age you are legally an adult to 21. In the usa you can sign life changing contracts, join the military, take control of medical decisions, etc., but God forbid you try to buy a beer.
This was a documentary and not a movie. That's why you don't understand its genius. For you see, I.....am ......Micheal and I run the Hairem Scarem Foundation for the Folicaly Impaired. I hope you can sleep at night
I watched this movie when i was in 2nd grade (1987) at a sleepover party and it f**ked me up good. I was scarred for years. i randomly came across your channel and saw this thumbnail and IMMEDIATELY knew what movie this was. omg. here we go... I also legitimately grew up thinking that if a cat sleeps on your head you will go bald...so there's that.
They played it for my whole 5th grade class. Not sure which teacher decided on that. It took me years to find it again just to prove to friends that I wasn't making the craziness up when I would describe it!
Im 43, I loved this movie growing up 🤣😂. I would watch it all the time. I had an aunt who bought it for me on VHS one year and it was my go to. I never was big on cartoons and Disney like my 5 sisters were so this was perfect for me and I would watch it non stop. This and flight of the navigator 🤩
I'm 41 and I remember seeing this movie as a kid and it freaked me the fuck out, I had nightmares about it. I didn't know the name of it until I came across this vid. I still hate this movie and I'm 41

When your dad forces you to watch this movie over and over again as a child, and you have really thick, fast growing hair. Then your dad tells you that what happens to the main character in this movie, will also happen to you. Traumatizing,
“The only way to continue is for this guy to keep cutting it” Why does he call his closest friend “this guy” like that? 😂 Everything about this move is off
1:57 He's clearly complained about it before because she knows it pisses him off, so she's responding to his look of disdain because she knows he's thinking something like "I hate it when she wears the robe, she's not allowed to/supposed to" or something like that. She's not responding to the voice over, she's responding to the look he's giving her
My dad had to watch this movie in public school. He described it to me a couple years ago and I didn't believe it was real. He felt so vindicated when we found this vid. Thanks Eddy!
if you look closely you can see Michael mouth "it's mom's" during the narration that suzie responds to. i think director rubbo was trying to be artsy or something by mixing the narration with the scene but it does come off weird
I think its more likely that he had already previously said something to her about wearing it, so when he started staring at her once she had it on, she responds to his looks I believe.
The hair was coming from his Genitals. There is one scene in the movie where he funded out that if you put the peanut butter on you, hair begins to grow. According to him, he didn’t want to wait for puberty to take action so he did the job himself
I remember seeing this movie in the 80’s. It haunted me for decades. I couldn’t remember the name of it until about 2018, and even then I only remembered the ‘peanut butter’ part. After I fig’d it all out, and rewatched it, I am now haunted for all new reasons…some of which you pointed out here. Thanks for the ultra-obscure movie review!
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid so here's some fun parts I didn't see mentioned: The dad blamed the cat because it slept on the kid's head...dunno how that would cause baldness. The hair grew too fast because he added too much water (something he was warned about by the ghost lady). His friend had hair growing on his feet because he used some of the solution. There was a point earlier where he wanted hair "down there" or something. Yeah super weird. You missed the sweet 80s music scene where they put sugar in the Signore's truck and try to follow it on their bikes. Celine Dion did part of the great soundtrack.
So since you have watched the movie I got to know if the movie mentioned if his hair ever stops growing so fast? I just really want to know how the movie wraps up the kids hair situation
@@PurpurLupus He ends up going into a painting of the house where he got scared. When he talks to the homeless people there he overcomes his fear and for some reason his hair stops growing after that.
Connie tricked the Signor by saying his dad died and he wants the Signor to be his new dad.. which he goes for. Then tricks him into painting "Michael's Fright" and then tricks him into going into the painting where he "catches" "The Fright" and Michael's hair stops growing immediately because someone else had the fright now. 🤷 Then Michael goes into the painting, risking losing his hair again to tell the ghosts he's not afraid of them. 😂 The movie definitely works on kid logic.. the adults act like they were written by a 5th grader.

Eddy totally glossed over the fact that this film has original songs performed by Celine Dion, and they were her first English-language recordings. She also filmed her first music video for one of them, ”Listen to the Magic Man”
what the fuck it’s been years and I didn’t know that
@@EddyBurbackYeah, it makes a lot of sense too. About 90% of the production team is from Québec, but the movie is with anglophone actors and some from Québec as well. It was just a few years before her debut in the US and Canada. She only had a career in Québec and France during that time.
This movie was confusing and strange as a child, and is even more strange as an adult.
Also, I never realized how Canadian this movie is (accent wise) until now
This movie made a strong impression on me as a child, it was so freaking weird. I saw it when I had a really bad case of the fllu so I wasn't sure a lot of the things I could remember about it were actually in the movie or just part of a childhood fever dream. Today I found out it was much stranger than I remembered.
I'm from Canada and when i was a kid i was certain it was a Quebec film because the French dubbing was in Qc french
I noticed it was Canadian because of the kitchen scene at the beginning, theres Sealtest milk carton
I saw this movie once when I was a kid and I still remember just how much it got under my skin, everything about it was horrible and like torture for me to try to watch lol 😆 I wasted my vhs pick on it
@@3llevate I learned today that it wasn't from Quebec. Le marketing m'a toujours fait pensé que c'était québécois. Le titre probablement. C'est un peu comme Slap shot.
Gonna be honest, my reaction to the well-dressed bird was... More intense than it should have been... I don't know why, but I had a very strong emotional response to well dressed bird.
After watching The Peanut Butter Solution again recently, it reminds me of that one scene with Adam Maitland in Beetlejuice where he molds his head to look like a bird. The Beetlejuice poster that includes the bird head for seemingly no reason freaked me out for a few years as a kid, as it was used in lots of ads for the NES game. But I originally saw The Peanut Butter Solution in December 1989 when I was 7, and didn't see Beetlejuice until at least late 1990.
This
You mean the right reaction
It's unironically a very striking image
That art, at best, is something you'd see on Trapper Keeper folders from that era.
I actually genuinely love well-dressed bird. I want one for my place.
Same
I'm planning on painting my version of Well Dressed Bird ngl
Addiemonster RC i have some extra canvas i might have to paint a well dressed bird
I genuinely agree
I was gonna make a drawing of well dressed bird out of letters but I couldn't. Sorry
Growing up in Ontario, this movie was a staple of elementary school filmstrips shown in class and general assemblies. It's a Canadian film, and our school system took a lot of pride in showing as many Canadian productions as possible. Other examples that come to mind are "Rainbow War" and "The Sweater". Fond memories.
Bro I’m not even Canadian but “the sweater” is such good meme material, that short is so unintentionally funny. The sweater is a national treasure and I will stand by that
I've always admired how much Canada supported artists and filmmakers. It may not have resulted in the kind of polished productions Hollywood can do, but it's made for a ton of unique and _memorable_ film, television, comics, etc. over the years.

I like how he's dressed as the guy on the neighborhood watch signs.
That's a good look
Well-dressed Bird has Bold and Brash by Squidward vibes LOVE IT
You’re so right
it's like the creator of this movie somehow got his hands on a bunch of free wigs, did LSD, and then came up with this premise for a movie and just went with it without editing his original idea or letting anyone else vet it
Ms. Dreavus yo that's one of the most accurate takes on acid that I've heard.
probably thought it was GENIUS, and everyone who watched it would understand what he was going for.
Hahahahahah its a movie from Quebec. Funny thing is a lot of our movies from that time period in particular were reaaally weird and I JUST DONT KNOW Why its crazy
Claire Perreault as a Quebecer I concur lol.
Once they got to the actual peanut butter solution, a thousand memories of this movie came rushing back. I've seen this thing. I thought it was a hallucination.
I feel that way about the Big Land Of Small which is another bizzarw Canadian film from the 80's.
This whole movie sounds like it’d be a strange and distant dream I had and forgot about, clawing its way through my subconscious for an unknown vengeance.
I grew up watching this movie once when I was 7 because my mom rented it for me, and you described exactly what this was for me. Thought I'd hallucinated the whole thing
Señor looks A LOT like Well-Dressed Bird. Just sayin
The father kinda strikes me as being somewhat neglectful and abusive.
Right? I know he's freaking out about his son being bald but it's still not okay to for him to tell his daughter to shut up like that
I'm thinking he might be a Cylon.

He was busy making the masterpiece that was well dressed bird
This movie apparently traumatized my mom when she was younger. And she was an adrenaline junkie. She was fine watching slasher films and rated R action movies, but this movie, for whatever reason, was the one that terrified her.
and the oscar goes to eddy for the reaction to well dressed bird
i set well-dressed bird as the computer wallpapers in the library and got a referral

Watched this in probably 1986 or 1987 with my best friend. We were too little to be WTF so we were just scared shitless. And then no one we knew had ever seen it, so it just became this shared trauma that we mention to each other from time to time when we see each other. "Do you remember The Peanut Butter Solution?" "OMG what the hell was that?"

@@mspaintlive8995 Get on my level dude, I could drink while in high school!
@@user-jj1zm5ol7l fuck got me there
It might've been legal. The usa has always had a weird relationship with alcohol. Prior to the mid 80s, the age you could drink varied from state to state and what kind of alcohol you drank. It also went up and down and up again over time. I personally think they should either lower it to 18 or raise the age you are legally an adult to 21. In the usa you can sign life changing contracts, join the military, take control of medical decisions, etc., but God forbid you try to buy a beer.
Honestly this feels like a pretty accurate representation of having Tourette's in the American school system, but instead it's hair.
Yeah bless his belief in the school system but Eddie seems to not realize how badly schools treat kids with issues.

I also legitimately grew up thinking that if a cat sleeps on your head you will go bald...so there's that.
Same. I knew immediately.
This is just the insane kind of movie that sticks with you.
Same I'm 40 😂 have memory's of it
They played it for my whole 5th grade class. Not sure which teacher decided on that. It took me years to find it again just to prove to friends that I wasn't making the craziness up when I would describe it!
Im 43, I loved this movie growing up 🤣😂. I would watch it all the time. I had an aunt who bought it for me on VHS one year and it was my go to. I never was big on cartoons and Disney like my 5 sisters were so this was perfect for me and I would watch it non stop. This and flight of the navigator 🤩
I'm 41 and I remember seeing this movie as a kid and it freaked me the fuck out, I had nightmares about it. I didn't know the name of it until I came across this vid. I still hate this movie and I'm 41
I remember this movie and I recall watching it as a kid and always thinking .."wtf did I just see"
I really hate it when my cat makes me bald and then my dad kills it 🤷♀️

if you look closely you can see Michael mouth "it's mom's" during the narration that suzie responds to. i think director rubbo was trying to be artsy or something by mixing the narration with the scene but it does come off weird
I think its more likely that he had already previously said something to her about wearing it, so when he started staring at her once she had it on, she responds to his looks I believe.
The hair was coming from his Genitals. There is one scene in the movie where he funded out that if you put the peanut butter on you, hair begins to grow. According to him, he didn’t want to wait for puberty to take action so he did the job himself
Dang

I remember seeing this movie in the 80’s. It haunted me for decades. I couldn’t remember the name of it until about 2018, and even then I only remembered the ‘peanut butter’ part.

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid so here's some fun parts I didn't see mentioned:
The dad blamed the cat because it slept on the kid's head...dunno how that would cause baldness.
The hair grew too fast because he added too much water (something he was warned about by the ghost lady).
His friend had hair growing on his feet because he used some of the solution. There was a point earlier where he wanted hair "down there" or something. Yeah super weird.
You missed the sweet 80s music scene where they put sugar in the Signore's truck and try to follow it on their bikes.
Celine Dion did part of the great soundtrack.
His friend DID put it "down there"! It's why it was growing out of his pant leg..
So since you have watched the movie I got to know if the movie mentioned if his hair ever stops growing so fast? I just really want to know how the movie wraps up the kids hair situation
@@PurpurLupus He ends up going into a painting of the house where he got scared. When he talks to the homeless people there he overcomes his fear and for some reason his hair stops growing after that.
@@donaldlozen2045 huh odd. Thanks :)
Connie tricked the Signor by saying his dad died and he wants the Signor to be his new dad.. which he goes for. Then tricks him into painting "Michael's Fright" and then tricks him into going into the painting where he "catches" "The Fright" and Michael's hair stops growing immediately because someone else had the fright now. 🤷 Then Michael goes into the painting, risking losing his hair again to tell the ghosts he's not afraid of them. 😂
The movie definitely works on kid logic.. the adults act like they were written by a 5th grader.
