A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!

"A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner" is unfaithful to the original "Fairly OddParents" show for the most part, which I believe is much better than this film. Both the opening and closing credits state that it was directed and written by Butch Hartman, the show's creator, and co-written by Scott Fellows, who also worked on the show. However, I feel that I'm being misled. They broke "da rules" of their own creation, which doesn't make sense. As a result, this movie is likely non-canon to the show.

According to the source material, kids with fairy godparents get their fairies taken away when they turn 18, but in this movie, Timmy Turner is now 23 years old and still has his fairies. In the movie, kids don't lose their fairies until they receive their first kiss, regardless of age. Even when Timmy and Toodee share their first kiss at the end, Timmy is allowed to keep Cosmo and Wanda for some reason. Throughout most of the movie, Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof attempt to prevent Timmy from "growing up" and developing feelings for Toodee.

In the original show, it says in Da Rules that magic cannot be used to create or interfere with true love, and Cosmo and Wanda are aware of this; however, here they violate this rule by using magic to meddle with true love, making them hypocrites. Additionally, there are instances when the fairies do not disguise themselves while in public, and somebody could see them. The show clearly states that revealing the existence of fairy godparents causes them to get taken away forever. Despite this, Timmy still possesses his fairies and has developed an affection for Toodee, although he dislikes her in the show. He is also still in fifth grade, and Mr. Crocker remains his teacher for some reason.

Jorgen and Vicky barely resemble their cartoon versions. For some reason, Jorgen is portrayed by a live actor and has a realistic design, while Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof are in CGI, even though the former is also a fairy. The animated fairies look accurate to the cartoon, but they don't blend well with the live-action elements, and the special effects look fake.

In a flashback, Toodee appears in her child form and is played by the same actress, Daniella Monet, who portrays her adult counterpart. It would have made more sense to cast a child actress to play young Toodee, similar to how a kid actor was used for Timmy in his childhood photos. Additionally, the voices of Human Cosmo (Jason Alexander) and Human Wanda (Cheryl Hines) do not closely resemble their fairy forms' voices.

Unfortunately, several characters from the original show, such as Trixie, Sanjay, Elmer, and the Pixies, are absent, and there's no explanation as to what happened to them.

Overall, "The Fairly OddParents" does not translate well to live-action. I wish an animated theatrical movie for the series had been released instead, as it is surprisingly one of the few long-running Nicktoons without an animated movie adaptation. While the film is somewhat faithful to the source material-most characters maintain their likable personalities, and Daran Norris, Susanne Blakeslee, and Tara Strong reprise their roles as the voices of Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof respectively, with sets resembling the show's locations-I would rate it a 3 out of 10 because of these items.

Additionally, I found Toodee to be more likable in the movie than in the show, where I was not a fan of her character. The film gives her more depth, making her interactions feel genuinely appealing. It's interesting to see how adaptations can change our perspective of characters. While it's not one of the worst live-action adaptations of a cartoon, it certainly isn't one of the best either. I recommend watching "The Fairly OddParents" instead of "A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner."

This movie is so bad that it left me speechless when it was over. All I keep asking myself was WHY WHY WHY? Some films are so bad that all you can do is laugh. "A Fairly Odd Movie" is not one of them. I just stared in utter horror the entire way through. Everything about this movie was wrong: making it live action, Timmy's casting, the script...everything. How they got Jason Alexander to sign on I'll never know.

Most of all, this heaping pile of poop is a disgrace to "The Fairly Odd Parents".

"A Fairly Odd Movie" was just so unnecessary. The moron who green-lighted it needs to be fired. Nickelodeon should be ashamed.

Never knew this existed until July 1st 2020. I'm 26 years old. Used to watch the show from 2001-2004ish. This movie, for being a Nick production, is surprisingly very charming and wacky akin to the original show. Sure there's some dumb kid things, but it's made for kids.

Every shot looks like it's in a wacky cartoon world. The video editing, sound mixing/editing, cgi, costume design, and reprise of some of the original actors are all very impressive. I wish this was a longer film.

The story feels like an opposite of The Santa Clause 2 (2002).

Oh and Jason Alexander??? Heck yeah.

So let's continue the review in films based on cartoons now I'll do You have to grow up Timmy Turner! Which would be the Live Action film The Fairly OddParents then I quite liked that cartoon but except for the last few seasons I found only nonsense Then this film released for television then in this film Timmy in this story has become great But he still behaves like a child because he doesn't want to lose Cosmo and Wanda and poof but a person called Hugh J.tycoon made agreement with Denzel Crocker to help capture the fairies So what do I think about this movie for me it's a pretty usual movie all people hate it because it's a live Action possible that you're never satisfied with anything I liked it because it pays offvery faithful to the cartoon and then it was very good Drake Bell in the role of Timmy I have not seen his series that he appeared But I know him to be the protagonist black horrible Superhero Movie that that was really very bad And thank goodness that in this movie did it very well andthen Daniella Monet was very good in the role of tootie who will be sad actress who plays in the TV series Victorious This film was quite good for me despite too many problems it has But it remains a good film to conclude rating 7.

i have never in my entire life, witnessed such a mess of a movie. i grew up watching fairly odd parents and was kinda excited when it was announced. but the more i knew about it the more unimpressed i became.

and then i actually watched the film. what have they done to such a good franchise. everything was so terrible. the characters didn't fit at all in my opinion. the CGI was horrible. the plot was pathetic.

i've never sat through an entire movie just so angry and sad at it. also some of the jokes were so unessential. for example, the rabbit that laughed in the car? that didn't even make sense, like come on? i think if anyone is truly proud of that film perhaps they should re-evaluate their values and standards because i feel ashamed by just watching that film.

in conclusion, if you want to keep your sanity and childhood happiness alive, stay way WAY away from this terrible movie.
