Fred: The Movie

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

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.

I had to give this movie a one, there was nothing lower. Who ever paid David and Lucas for this movie should be fired. I've seen better screenplays from five year old kids. They should really be held criminally responsible for this, I watched kids walk away from this movie on television. OMG then someone has paid this kid for a web series, do people know we are in a recession and putting good money into crap like this is counter productive. Come guys get a clue put your applications in at McDonalds, TODAY!! Best part if this movie was the first commercial break, I went and hurled, really. Lucas you are truly a terrible actor, give it up kid, your stealing from people, THIEF!!

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.

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.
