Fun Size

This is one of those predictable and unoriginal family movie. It doesn't try to be overly safe but it's pretty predictable. The nice guy liking a girl but the girl is into this so called cool guy. Well in this case some wannabe Johnny Depp dude. But it doesn't revolve around that scenario much instead it's a modern day journey for a night for the protagonist girl to find his lost trouble-making younger brother. And the main protagonist is the only somewhat rational one while everyone else is a bit wacko. Yeah, this is one of those movies. I liked how everything comes together though even if it's done in a predictable and unoriginal manner. Like how the nerdy guy finally gets the courage to fight for his love and etc. It's watchable but there is better movies when it comes to these types of genre. But I give it credit for trying to be a family friendly movie. And it's humorous although when it comes to those moments it's very few.

6/10

Pretty small audience when my husband and I saw this.

If you giggle hysterically over a teen girl deciding that maybe her Justice Ruth Ginsberg costume needs to be updated to a "sexy Justice Ginsberg", this movie is for you. We loved the nerdy humor.

If that joke, or the running one with an 8 year old deciding to be a one-armed Spidey (complete with bloody plastic severed arm) doesn't fill you with mirth, skip this film. We loved it.

Of course, we also loved Hudson Hawke, Howard the Duck, and The Stupids.

Happy Halloween!

A teenage girl and her best friend want to attend the Halloween party with the cool kids, but are stuck trick-or-treating with her little brother. He becomes lost, and they spend the evening searching for him. What ensues is supposed to be a funny adventure of oddball characters getting themselves into amusing situations, but there just is not much to laugh at here. In the end the girl is destined to come to some sort of realization about what she really deems important, which is predictable and does not add much to the movie. Victoria Justice, who plays the girl, is pretty and likable enough, but that is not enough to make this movie fun to watch.

I watched this movie on demand, and although there was some flaws, I thought it was very good, for reference, I'm 17 years old.

The story covers Wren, played by Victoria Justice, trying to find her trouble-making, prankster brother on Halloween.

There was a few cliché's, but I found them very easy to overlook, especially when you consider the fact that the cliché's are just sub-plots.

A lot of people are complaining that Nickeloden made a movie that isn't family friendly, but this wasn't the first time Nickeloden did this (Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging!!) so I didn't have a problem with this film being produced by Nickeloden and I honestly don't see why other people do.

I found this movie VERY funny and the main characters very compelling, Jane Levy's character is probably one of my favourite supporting character's in a comedy film at the moment.

Overall I enjoyed this movie for the overall atmosphere and give it a 7/10.

There have been lots of these coming-of-age movies. Each one differs a little bit by the era in which it is produced. This one rated PG-13 has the feel of an after school special. Everyone has an image of their ideal life; however, it takes at night of Halloween hijinks for them to realize what they really want.

The film has many cute scenes. There is also potty humor. Innuendos and big chickens that explains where car hybrids come from. They threw in an asthmatic cat is a good addition to the mix.

I've seen better versions of this genre. However, this is well done. Yet there is nothing exceptional. So, get out your popcorn. Have a little fun. Then forget it. It is not worth rewatching.

Do not forget to kibitz now and then.
