We're Like That!

About This Movie

We're Like That! (1936) is one of those oddities that captures a raw sense of childhood and rebellion. The film features a group of impoverished children who come together, united by song and performance, to confront the adults in their lives. There's a certain charm in the simplicity of its musical numbers, and the pacing feels almost like a playful romp through their struggles, with a light-hearted touch despite the serious themes. What sets it apart is how it showcases these young performers, who bring a palpable energy and sincerity that often gets lost in more polished productions. It’s a unique glimpse into a bygone era of cinema focused on child performers and community spirit.

We're Like That! is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, with limited availability across formats. Its original release in the 1930s was overshadowed by more mainstream titles, leading to a scarcity that gives it a certain allure among collectors. While VHS copies pop up occasionally, finding a good quality print can be a hunt. Enthusiasts often appreciate its nostalgic charm and the unique performances from young actors, making it an interesting piece for those exploring the evolution of children's cinema.
