Versions alternatives
Although released with an uncut 12 certificate in UK cinemas, that rating did not exist for home video at the time, meaning VHS releases had to be upgraded to a 15 or cut for a PG. The latter course was chosen for Life Stinks, and one use of strong language was removed to allow the video to carry a PG rating. A home video 12 certificate had been introduced by the time of the DVD release, so it was an uncut 12 certificate.

A charming comedy

Seeing as the vote average was pretty low, and the fact that the clerk in the video store thought it was "just OK", I didn't have much expectations when renting this film.

But contrary to the above, I enjoyed it a lot. This is a charming movie. It didn't need to grow on me, I enjoyed it from the beginning. Mel Brooks gives a great performance as the lead character, I think somewhat different from his usual persona in his movies.

There's not a lot of knockout jokes or something like that, but there are some rather hilarious scenes, and overall this is a very enjoyable and very easy to watch film.

Very recommended.
