A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!

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.

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.

This is a joke! Absolute bullshit! The acting is pretty bad, I mean what's the point of making a crappy film if you know people are gonna hate it! The cartoon i like but this... no. I'm sorry but this is a joke. And the actors were annoying as hell... especially Cheryle Hines and Jason Alexander as Cosmo and Wanda. And some characters were disturbing and crappy and weren't meant for this utter file that you call a film. When the movie started, I sighed and yawned, and at the ending I wanted to shoot myself. And when Tootie came in I was like, "What the hell happened to Trixie?" And Jorgan was weird... so was a lot of charac-let me refrase that... ALL of the characters sucked! Utter crap. Don't watch it.

I feel that as a once avid fan of the show and as a living breathing human being that this was the worst thing I've ever had the misfortune of sitting through. Even if the creators had attempted to make this watchable (which they did not), it would not have mattered in the slightest, because the very premise of Grow Up Timmy Turner is wrong. The Fairly Oddparents was NEVER meant to be live action, and anyone who saw The Last Airbender can attest to that.

And this is without even mentioning the dialogue (which is atrocious even by kid TV standards), the characters (whose attributes in no way reflected those of the actual cartoon characters), and the complete miscasting of Drake Bell, Jason (George Costanza) Alexander, and Cheryl Hines.

Even the defense that "it's just for kids" would be invalid because Nickelodeon has created some of television's best shows, shows that to this day I still remember fondly (Rugrats, SpongeBob, Rocket Power, Doug, Hey Arnold, and EVEN Fairly Oddparents!). Every person involved with this production should be ashamed of themselves for not only creating such dreck but for insulting the intelligence of every viewer ages 0 and up!

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.
