    An Abomination of Television

    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!

    why, god, WHY?

    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.

    An Absolute Joke

    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.

    In 2020, this is NOT bad- it has a charming wackiness like the anime

    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.

    A good example of great cartoons that failed as live-action movies

    The 10-year-old Timmy Turner that we all know and grew up with is now 23! And surprise, surprise, he still has Cosmo, Wanda (and surprisingly!) and Poof, by his side. Timmy is still in 5th grade and spends his free time making fun wishes for himself. Life couldn't be happier. But what happens when Timmy starts falling in love? Could that mean saying goodbye to his fairy godparents?

    I grew up watching "The Fairly Odd Parents" and I was fairly excited when I heard a movie was going to be released! However, I was disappointed. I should have expected it, though. When has a cartoon-made-live-action ever worked?

    This TV movie was a TV movie. The quality of the plot was very very subpar. Drake Bell was just average (or even below) as he played Timmy Turner. I was really saddened. I wish I could get my 57 minutes back. I also wish they made the movie animated.

      Originally supposed to have a theatrical release.
    • Goofs
      It is established that Timmy is actively trying to avoid falling in love with Tootie, and goes so far as to say that she kissed him once and it was not voluntary. However, that kiss was on the episode "Love Struck!" (season 3, episode 24), and it completely contradicts what Timmy is saying. The kiss was voluntary because Timmy was in love with Tootie at the end of the episode - he shot himself with Cupid's arrow specifically so that he would fall in love with her. The kiss was definitely not forced upon him, and based on Cosmo's reaction to watching it, it was not a platonic kiss either. ("That's cute." "Ok, this is a little awkward." "OK, this is downright creepy."
