Fred 3: Camp Fred

My older brother told me about this movie, since he saw it at summer camp back in 2013. I watched it for myself on YouTube recently, and... what can I say?!?!?!?! This movie is just horrendous! Admittedly, there are several bad movies that are guilty pleasures of mine (especially The Cat in the Hat and several Happy Madison movies), but this movie was just as bad as Zoom!

The third and final installment in the Fred trilogy (I have not watched the first two, and I'm happy I didn't), the movie centers around Fred Figglehorn (played by Lucas Cruikshank), a 16-year-old boy with a sped-up chipmunk voice that actually grates really quickly, who clearly doesn't know his head from his... well, you know. Fred has just begun his summer vacation and hopes to attend a very cushy, plush and popular summer camp called Camp Superior, but because his deadbeat mother, Hilda (Siobhan Fallon Hogan) cheaped out, he ends up stuck at a smelly, crummy, OSHA-violating summer camp, appropriately called Camp Iwannapeepee. Fred learns that every year, Superior and Iwannapeepee have competed in summer camp games, and Superior has won, and... wait, haven't we seen all this before? Come on! Daddy Day Camp wasn't quite this bad!

The acting is pure garbage. Lucas Cruikshank is supremely grating as Fred. Practically every scene he's in, he resorts to mugging desperately while talking straight to the viewers, and that chipmunk voice (which was funny for like one second) ain't helping. Even Siobhan Fallon Hogan, a good actress who's given really nice performances in Holes, Daddy Day Care and the live-action Charlotte's Web, seems to have forgotten all she knows about acting as Hilda! In fact, nobody seems to be even trying with their roles. It doesn't help that nobody is likable. Fred is a complete moron, and not in the endearing way like Harry and Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber, in the irritating way. And the friends that he meets at Camp are just cardboard cutouts.

The visuals don't help either. This movie is edited in a messy, incompetent and choppy manner that just SCREAMS "no-budget", and the simplistic, lackluster camera work, tacky sets and garish lighting don't make it any better. The special effects are just as bad, with some horrible and dated CGI in several places.

Oh, yes, and we mustn't forget the humor. The humor in this movie is more juvenile, pandering and insulting than in any other movie I've seen in my life. In my opinion, the only bit that actually got something of a chuckle out of me besides the camp name was the firework scene. The rest of the time, it's just irritating slapstick, the camp staff being complete idiots, and plenty of gross-out humor, especially Fred eating "nono berries", hallucinating, and then barfing, with some even landing on the camera.

Oh, and of course, the music. Roddy Bottum's score is mind-numbingly dull and mindless, and the musical numbers are completely out-of-place, and even intrusive to the narrative flow. They're also neither well-written, nor memorable.

When all's said and done, Fred 3: Camp Fred is probably the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. I really wish I didn't have to say this, because I hate to criticize movies, but this is all true. Don't watch!!!

I've watched this movie once when a friend told me to, but it was a complete waste of time and it was just awful.

The plot is horrible, the jokes are awful, I mean, only immature 5-year olds would even smile during this movie. I probably lost 1,000 brain cells to this godawful movie. Camp Iwannapeepee? More like Camp Iwannaneverwatchthisagain.

Fred 3: Camp Fred is 2012 Nickelodeon TV Movie That Aired on The Network on July 28, 2012. I Have a Soft spot for these Fred Movies I Know There not the best but they are so Stupid It's Funny. Anyway The Movie is about Fred thinking he's going to Camp Superior but His Mom Signed Him for Camp IWanttopeepee. This Movie like all the Fred TV Movies has Pointless Scenes & Stupid jokes but it's Enjoyable. It's also Stared Tom Arnold as Floyd Spunkmeyer & John Cena as Himself. Anyway this Movie is Stupid Fun. 6/10.

As someone would have guessed I am not only a bad movie fan, but also a fan of bad actors and actresses. Some performances are painful to sit through, some are very stiff, some are very laughable. But unlike the majority of these bad actors-actresses Lucas Cruickshank decides that he can be MUCH more obnoxious, talentless and irritating than all those... and he succedds.

The plot is about Fred Figglehorn, a super-stupid, loathsome and talentless 16 year old that hopes to go to the summer camp of his dreams. But instead he ends in another summer camp, and here the movie becomes very disturbing. If you SEE this film you will have the magnificently glorious opportunity of seeing a horse with three legs, Fred's nightmare where his body parts are served in the canteen (a sight so gross that I nearly throw up), a scene where Fred has to send a letter to her mom and for sending her the letter he puts a slingshot between two trees and lets a poor cat (with the letter on his collar) flying with the slingshot (man isn't this animal abuse or not??????????), Fred that doesn't want to go to the camp and shrieks like a 1-year old (a scream so horrid that I seriously wanted to gouge my eardrums for stopping hearing him), and a monster called ''crockabearamosse'' that in a scene chops Fred's head away. The problem is not only that the movie is 100% unfunny and painful to sit through, but also that the main character is not even likeable or endearing in the least. It's just a dreadful and worthless movie... and I am sure that even small kids who think that THE SIMPSONS and FAMILY GUY are far too smart will find this movie boring.

However, I can enjoy a movie with a dumb character as the lead, so I don't expect a masterpiece when I want to see a movie for laughs. One of the worst movies I have ever seen and it made me hate everything about Cruickshank... EVERYTHING. I also am seriously worried about the poor persons that love this tasteless and gross disaster of a movie... since it apparently tells us that animal abuse and violence are funny. An incredibly unpleasant movie in every single aspect.

Not really sure what these blokes are on about calling this a bad movie. It's the best film out there. This film is up there with Citizen Kane and Casablanca as one of the best films ever. Lucas Cruikshank did a perfect job with the role. I dare you to find me a better film than Fred 3: Camp Fred. You can watch if for free on YouTube, which is great. Overall 10/10. Will be watching for the 394th time soon.
