Fantastic!
... View MoreA story that's too fascinating to pass by...
... View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
... View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
... View MoreThese movies are terrible in pretty much every way. The only reason I'm writing a review is because I've been told that the story behind how I watched these movies is funny. Around when this movie came out, I had never heard of Fred before. I also had little understanding of YouTube. When I was told by my friend that I should watch these movies because they were awesome, I believed her and went on Netflix to binge-watch them. This movie is shot like a YouTube video, so that confused me. The same friend had also told me about Five Nights At Freddie's, and I thought that it was the same thing because they both had "Fred" in the title. I thought that this movie was supposed to be a horror movie, and was a bit creeped out by all the nonsense in it and how Fred is a stalker. The next day, I told my friend that the movie was stupid and she said that I just didn't understand it and that I should watch the next two. So I did. The second movie is a confusing mess. The third movie doesn't even have a plot. There are a lot of dream sequences in this series. I found them very confusing. I don't think that you can use the excuse "its just a kids movie" for these things. When I watched them, I was around the target age range and I was confused, scared and annoyed by these movies. I don't see why anyone would watch them. They aren't even funny to watch ironically. If you want to have some fun, go on YouTube and watch the bulk review of all three movies on the channel "I Hate Everything." Its hilarious. I'm not even going to write new reviews for the next two movies, I'm just going to copy/paste this review. These things are dumb - and by things I mean the Fred movies.
... View Moreso, what can top off a movie where 25% of the film was Fred screaming? well how about a plot about him trying to convince everyone about a vampire. Most of the scenes don't have anything to do with anything, there's a scene where Fred's dad played by John Cena and it feels like it was a self promotion for him to do it, another one is when Fred and Bertha are at the school and they come to a blood drive, Mr. Devlin reveals to be an alien sucks out Fred's blood and then the next scene is fine, what? i mean it has it's flaws. Like how there's no Judy, in this one we get Kevin's sister. I don't remember him having a sister all in all, it is not as bad as his animated series *Shudders*
... View MoreIn the world of stupid silly cute movies i give this an 8. Definitely not 8 as compared to Star Wars or Indian Jones, but as compared to Pee Wee Herman, or The Muppets, or maybe Dumb and Dumber. Part of the high rating is that the first movie was a bunch of silly clips tied together to make a movie, whereas this movie actually had a story line, and pretty good one at that. We watched it with the kids, and mom and dad liked it better than the kids,(they liked the first one better). If you are in the mood for cute stupid silly funny, this is a good choice. Fred wasn't as annoying as he was in the first movie, and he was more of a real person in this movie. His friend Bertha was played by a different actress, but they look a lot alike. The younger sister from Modern Family starred as the evil neighbor kids little sister. Fred's mom had some funny lines, and his "Dad" made some excellent appearances. Definitely a fun surprise for me that I enjoyed this one so much.
... View MoreIn 2010, Nickelodeon aired FЯED: The Movie, and I'll be honest.. I was a bit skeptical at first. I've been a fan of the YouTube videos from the start and think Lucas Cruikshank is a talented and very funny guy, but you just have to wonder what's going to happen when this character gets commercialized in such a big way. To my surprise (and I'm sure everyone else's), the movie ended up being hilarious! The writing was brilliantly funny and the comedic timing of everyone in the ensemble was spot on. So, when the sequel was announced I had no doubts that all of us fans were in for a real treat! In the film, we meet Fred as his life becomes like a horror movie -- his favorite music teacher has gone missing and all suspicions point to her replacement, Mr. Devlin (played eerily by Seth Morris). He is a pale man who dresses in all black and carries an umbrella in the sunlight... Fred suspects that he's a vampire! With the help of his faithful friend, Bertha (Daniella Monet), Fred sets out to save the town from this garlic-hating fiend! I thought the movie was really good! It was a little bumpy at first, but after about 15 minutes it really got going and delivered some great comedy! And I venture to say that it was even better than the first film! I will say that I missed Jennette McCurdy being in the cast, but Daniella Monet really did a good job at stepping into the role of Bertha. I liked the character of Kevin more in this film (played once again by Jake Weary). He seemed much more involved and was very funny. And playing Kevin's sister, so weirdly and comically, was Modern Family's own Ariel Winter.I really liked seeing the plot evolve out of Fred just being obsessed with Judy. I think it really made the film more enjoyable. I also liked seeing the return of Fred's parents, played by Siobhan Fallon Hogan and John Cena -- especially Cena who was actually super funny.. a favorite scene of mine involved Fred discussing with his dad how to get rid of the vampire: Dad Figglehorn: "Vampires hate baseball players... Vampires are always yelling at baseball players!" Fred: "I think you mean umpires, dad..." The film really delivered a lot more than I had hoped for in a TV sequel. The writing by David A. Goodman was fantastic and Cruikshank was on his A-game delivering a hilarious performance! I really enjoyed it and hope that anyone who loves comedy will check it out! It's not just for kids.. it's got something in there for everyone!
