Fred: The Movie

It looks like Nick was excited to have Fred as a movie in their channel, but I didn't like Fred at first. And somehow they butchered him even more. I noticed that John Cena was not in the commercial that had people who liked Fred, which I thought was funny. Another weird thing is that Fred suddenly turned 9 years older. And the highlights of the movie was probably the fact that John Cena was in it. The mom was visible, and didn't have a deep voice, Judy had that problem too. I must have had a problem too because I decided to watch this. I am surprised that it has 2.4 stars... It seems like it got higher views than it should have.

There are several reasons why I hated, hated, hated this "film", and I would be here all night listing them. I'll give some very, very faint credit where it is due, it is not quite the worst movie I have ever seen. However it is down there; Fred:The Movie is just a waste of time, full of everything that makes a bad movie bad.

To me, Fred:The Movie has very sloppy production values and is of poor sitcom television quality. It looks even worse than Nick shows like iCarly. The soundtrack is awful, while the script is abysmal and devoid of any laughs, the characters are stereotyped and even clichéd(Fred especially is incredibly obnoxious and just one of the film's many irritations) and the story(if you call it a story as such) is predictable and juvenile. The pacing is uneven, the direction is dreadful and the acting I don't know where to begin criticising. Even the poster on IMDb had me cringing.

Overall, a waste of time and gets my vote as the worst of the year. 0.5/10 Bethany Cox

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.

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.

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.
