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!

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.

This has totally ruined the show. No, you do not take a fun, zany cartoon and make it a live-action movie. I actually stopped watching it after the special when Poof was born. It seemed to just get stupid after that.But then this movie came, and I almost died. I do like Drake Bell, but please, please, PLEASE do NOT throw him in a roll that soiled Timmy Turner. I'm sorry Bell had to play in this train-wreck of a movie.In a cartoon, this whole movie would've been so much better because the script is written as a cartoon. In live-action, you get really cheesy effects and a VERY cheesy plot. Now, I know it was written for younger kids, but come on!A twenty-three year old who has never left the fifth grade and never had a kiss or anything? Granted, he was twenty-three and if he tried to date any of them, he would be a pedophile. But still, he's gone through puberty and all that, and he hasn't even TRIED to hit on a girl?They made it clear in one episode that usually kids' fairy godparents are lost when they hit high school age because, you know, they fall in love and all that junk. Why? Because they are hormone-strung teens. He would've succumbed to the pressures of love. How can a twenty-three year old be friends with kids half his age his whole life?And Tootie. Oh my goodness, she had such a stupid roll. Giving her scenes where she randomly goes Jackie Chan on everyone? I can handle the environmentalist thing, but being a black belt? Come on. Get real.So then Timmy falls for his previous stalker. Cosmo and Wanda, who I loved in the show, are just plain idiots in the movie, ESPECIALLY when they become waiters. As fairy godparents, they should LET GO of their child, not keep trying to keep him, especially when the head hauncho told Timmy to loose them. Then there was Crocker. In the show, it was funny when he would yell "Fairy godparents!" but the effects in this movie were just plain dumb when he did it. His shenanigans were also quite amusing, but this—this was just, well, retarded. Especially when he was able to catch the fairies so easily. This was probably one of his most easiest plans to avoid, but the fairies fell for it right away! So Timmy's falling in love, so their intelligence level drops fifty points?And the ending—oh my goodness, the wishing machine? So stupid. The ball pit that never ended? The effects made me want to puke. I've seen movies from the forties with better effects.So, they get the fairies back and then the fairy leader ((can't remember the name, sorry)) lets Timmy keeps his fairies. Wait, what? He can KEEP his fairies? They made it VERY clear that you can NOT keep your fairies after you grow up! You are supposed to forget about them!Okay, so then I assumed the show was over. But then I saw the commercial after the movie. A whole new week of Fairly Odd-Parents! WHAT? You make a movie about him growing up only to come out with more episodes?I am very confused.At least my kid sister liked it.In conclusion, this movie is a total complete kids movie that seemed to ruin Fairly Odd-Parents.

WARNING REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS DO NOT READ IF You've Haven't SEEN THIS FILM! i thought this movie was gonna suck boy was i wrong it was basically a fairly oddparents cartoon but in live action it had the music cartoon sound effects and everything. crocker acted like crocker timmy acted like timmy etc. but tootys personality was wrong instead of a timmy obsessed nerd she was a hot tree hugger. the spaz outs of crocker were genius but some of the editing had flaws. but timmys parents were excellent. and the cgi was okay special effects and green screen could've been better but it was still okay. and poofs first words were awesome(he didn't say awesome but his first words were awesome). a great way to look into the future. chester and aj were jerks though i give this film an 8 out of 10 because of its sfx and editing flaws. im the cool critic and i review movies and TV shows that rock and suck.
