Action

Patrick Smash is born with two stomachs. The unadjusted and violent boy often terrorized his parents with the farting, with whom he produced very strong winds. One day he disrupts an event at the school. His only friend Alan A. Allen (played by Rupert Grint ) has anosmia, which enables him to endure Patrick's weakness. The boys build together a driven with the stomach gases spaceship, which they save in distress guessed astronauts.
