I believe this movie was a well written, well rehearsed movie. It's plot about chasing the girl of your dreams is an original idea, never done before. The cinematographic of movie was well shot, good job my man. The pool scene made me LMAO ROFL so funny! The inclusion of John Cena as the inspirational father and convenient plot mover was smart and quirky. All and all this was a fantastic movie, I've seen it 4 times and still can't find a single flaw! Fred the movie is a flawless movie with picture perfect shots and acting. 10/10
... View MoreI think people reviewing this film have totally missed the point ! It's not a movie to be watched,enjoyed or reviewed by adults. This is a kids,film for kids .yes you could spend all day picking holes in it,yes the acting is not top notch ,its a bit out there,the plot isn't great, but at the end of the day the kids love it ! For me there is nothing better than hearing my children laugh and the did so for the duration of thefilm ! So director actors and producers , job done bravo 10 out of 10 if you want to entertain your children for 90 minutes, see them laugh out loud and beg for more then this is a must see movie ! I have yet to see any of the sequels but will be looking out for them !
... View MoreThe only thing that would improve this "movie" would be its own nonexistence. I won't insult any reader here by trying to explain plot or the characters other than everyone one on screen must have been deaf not to be driven insane by the main character's screeching and generally asinine actions. I am rather surprised that the other characters did not kill this dope Fred if for no other reason than to save their own ears. His high school counselor would even have advised him to blow his pea brain out.There is nothing, but nothing to recommend this holocaust of a film....and yet, l have learned that there are two sequels. Surely, a sign of the End Times--and Fred is at least three of the Four Horsemen.
... View MoreJust so you know where I'm coming from, here are some of my favorite films: The Browning Version. Requiem For A Heavyweight. Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf. A Star Is Born (1954). Once Upon A Time In The West. The Godfather. The Exorcist. See, I do have a bit of taste in movies.Now to Fred: The Movie. It is not a great movie. It is not a classic. Fred's voice is annoying. But it is NOT the movie that everyone seems to eager to jump on the bandwagon and trash.Yes, the story is kinda thin and dumb but there is redeeming value. For one thing, Lucas Cruikshank (Fred) is a hundred times more talented as a young actor than COUNTLESS others I've seen in movies and on TV who are all but holding their script in their hand as they robotically and phonetically speak their lines. Cruikshank is totally non-self-conscious and puts his all into every line or scene however dumb it might admittedly be.Jake Weary as Kevin is pretty funny, really. As funny as he could be with the lines of this admittedly not fantastic movie. But when he asks Fred 'Are you going to Judy's for a play date? Are you gonna do some of this?' and starts doing an apparent imitation of (well, some kind of sex) I have to admit I thought it was pretty funny.The parts of Bertha and of Fred's mother were really well played - again, within the confines of the script.Pixie Lott! Oh my gosh she is gorgeous. When Judy shows up at the pool in her bikini I thought "Wow, this is nowhere NEAR a junior high school student!" Fred has very good taste in women. And when Judy arrives at Fred's front door in the last scene and they show a close-up of her legs when she's wearing those high, high heels, I just about drooled. DANG is she hot! Too many years younger than I am, won't say what that makes me but wow she's good looking.I have seen far better movies than this one - but I think some which get decent reviews are garbage, and there are far worse actors than Lucas Cruikshank. You might hate his Fred character, many people do, but as an actor he is in fact talented. Chances are he has already piled up enough money off of his Fred character that he will never really have to work for a living. Hey, fine by me. The 'trash this movie' bandwagon is far too easy to jump onto, but really, it's not as awful as so many are eager to say. Hey, I am still only giving it a 3, but really I have seen much worse.
