Fred: The Movie

Garbage. That is all I have to say. This movie made me cringe as soon as I saw the title. I watched this movie, along with the sequel that came out just before Halloween. Unsurprisingly, the sequel was better. I hated this movie for many reasons. One, there's no plot whatsoever. Two, the actors either never acted before, or they just sucked so bad, it looked like they were actually trying to leave the movie. Three, "Gammit"? "Dam(n)"? Way to push the language on a PG film guys. Four, this movie is basically a compilation of Fred shorts that you could watch on Youtube for free. Five, This is just an attention movie. "Hey, it's Fred! Look at me, I have my own movie!" We know Fred. And it sucks. So do you. Six, and most important, this move is DULL. By the half-hour point, I was almost asleep, with Fred's dumb Nickelodeon-tweaked voice keeping me awake until the credits.

I hate this movie, and any Fred fan who wants to disagree with that, go right ahead, but I guarantee you, I will be right about something, even if you disprove the rest of what I said. If you watch any Fred movie, at least watch Fred 2. At least I wasn't bored for a good chunk of it.

This movie for sure qualifies as one the worst movies in recent memory. After just a few minutes of Fred's voice I felt like killing myself. It is simply sickening that these people actually find this funny. The acting is terrible, and the dialogue is lame. If you don't totally understand what I mean by how horrible this movie is think about it like this. You're strapped to a chair, and forced to listen to nails on a chalkboard till your ears bleed. Well with this movie you're ears start bleeding a few minutes in, and it continues until you make it to the end or kill yourself. Luckily I am experienced with bad movies, and I have seen a few movies worse than this. (Disaster Movie, Hannah Montana Movie, Baby Geniuses 2) Although if you are not experienced with true pain than stay away from this film. It will break your mind into tiny little pieces.

Watched Fred: The Movie. Plain horrible. This kid simply has no talent. The kids from ICarly, for example, they have it. This YouTube star(?) doesn't have it. The character is beyond stupid, and not in a Pee-wee Herman or Ernest P. Worrell "funny stupid" kinda way. This developmentally challenged Fred character is lame. It's crazy to think so much money and fame can/has come from this. He had YouTube, a HotTopic merchandise deal, and Nick. I don't understand it? A fad like PetRocks? There's really not enough to say here about this movie to fill ten lines of a review. This film isn't even SNL skit amusing. If I were to guess I'd say Fred's popularity is due to 12 - 18yr olds who find it so dumb they've decided to bug people by faking devotion. John Cena should've passed on this project.

This movie was never going to be critically reviewed in a positive manner; film critics are unlikely to be the kind of people who are fans of "Fred", the Youtube phenomenon, and unless you are a fan of "Fred", this movie is not worth going near.

The run-time of this production is, generally, consistent of "Fred"'s Youtube-video style dragged out over an incredibly shallow and uninteresting plot. The high-pitched voice is still evident, as is the ambiguity surrounding Fred's life. As a result, his fans may, perhaps, find some sort of entertainment value within this film.

However, the acting throughout this film is nothing close to an exhibition of any real talent; the movie feels painfully low-budget and there is nothing on offer to render the film engrossing.

In terms of the plot and pacing; it is a conglomeration of previously used ideas that are cheap, predictable and trivial. Nothing original is really evident, however the "Fred" elements that fans know and love do introduce a fresh perspective upon a host of overused sub-plots.

Overall, this movie is exactly what you'd expect; a low-budget, unoriginal and basic family movie. If your not a fan of "Fred" and his Youtube channel, don't go near this movie. If you are, I'd imagine that this could, possibly, be worth a look if you have spare time, however I'd recommend approaching viewing with low expectations.

WTF? That's what I was thinking when I was watching this. And the only reason I saw this was because my 5 year old nephew wanted to watch it, so I put it on for him. The Fred character was totally annoying. He was like a teenager with an extremely annoying high-pitched child's voice and totally annoying manner. I wasn't sure if he was supposed to be a child or teenager, or something in between. I'm guessing that Fred is some kid's TV show or something which could only explain how this got made into a movie. I watched for as long as I could before leaving the room to work on a project, and when I came back there was a shot of someone throwing up into a microwave. That's when I ended the movie. I'm guessing kids will like this, but adults with more than two brain cells to rub together will hate it.
