Fred: The Movie

This movie was never going to be critically reviewed in a positive manner; film critics are unlikely to be the kind of people who are fans of "Fred", the Youtube phenomenon, and unless you are a fan of "Fred", this movie is not worth going near.

The run-time of this production is, generally, consistent of "Fred"'s Youtube-video style dragged out over an incredibly shallow and uninteresting plot. The high-pitched voice is still evident, as is the ambiguity surrounding Fred's life. As a result, his fans may, perhaps, find some sort of entertainment value within this film.

However, the acting throughout this film is nothing close to an exhibition of any real talent; the movie feels painfully low-budget and there is nothing on offer to render the film engrossing.

In terms of the plot and pacing; it is a conglomeration of previously used ideas that are cheap, predictable and trivial. Nothing original is really evident, however the "Fred" elements that fans know and love do introduce a fresh perspective upon a host of overused sub-plots.

Overall, this movie is exactly what you'd expect; a low-budget, unoriginal and basic family movie. If your not a fan of "Fred" and his Youtube channel, don't go near this movie. If you are, I'd imagine that this could, possibly, be worth a look if you have spare time, however I'd recommend approaching viewing with low expectations.

There are several reasons why I hated, hated, hated this "film", and I would be here all night listing them. I'll give some very, very faint credit where it is due, it is not quite the worst movie I have ever seen. However it is down there; Fred:The Movie is just a waste of time, full of everything that makes a bad movie bad.

To me, Fred:The Movie has very sloppy production values and is of poor sitcom television quality. It looks even worse than Nick shows like iCarly. The soundtrack is awful, while the script is abysmal and devoid of any laughs, the characters are stereotyped and even clichéd(Fred especially is incredibly obnoxious and just one of the film's many irritations) and the story(if you call it a story as such) is predictable and juvenile. The pacing is uneven, the direction is dreadful and the acting I don't know where to begin criticising. Even the poster on IMDb had me cringing.

Overall, a waste of time and gets my vote as the worst of the year. 0.5/10 Bethany Cox

This has to be the worst movie I've EVER seen. The acting is bad, the script is bad, the plot isn't TOO bad, although it's pulled off in the worst way imaginable. I actually considered walking out and getting a refund, however I decided to stay and watch the rest, just to see how bad it is.

I actually found the film to be rather offensive, in it's portrayal of bullying and stereotypical gay people.

I will not bother to expand upon what the film is about, from my above comments I hope you now realise what an annoying piece of celluloid trash this and will not waste your money on it, like I so foolishly did.

If, after reading my 'sentiments' towards the movie, you STILL want to see it, please be prepared to die inside and give up your dignity.

Without a doubt, the worst movie of the year. 1/10

WTF? That's what I was thinking when I was watching this. And the only reason I saw this was because my 5 year old nephew wanted to watch it, so I put it on for him. The Fred character was totally annoying. He was like a teenager with an extremely annoying high-pitched child's voice and totally annoying manner. I wasn't sure if he was supposed to be a child or teenager, or something in between. I'm guessing that Fred is some kid's TV show or something which could only explain how this got made into a movie. I watched for as long as I could before leaving the room to work on a project, and when I came back there was a shot of someone throwing up into a microwave. That's when I ended the movie. I'm guessing kids will like this, but adults with more than two brain cells to rub together will hate it.

Garbage. That is all I have to say. This movie made me cringe as soon as I saw the title. I watched this movie, along with the sequel that came out just before Halloween. Unsurprisingly, the sequel was better. I hated this movie for many reasons. One, there's no plot whatsoever. Two, the actors either never acted before, or they just sucked so bad, it looked like they were actually trying to leave the movie. Three, "Gammit"? "Dam(n)"? Way to push the language on a PG film guys. Four, this movie is basically a compilation of Fred shorts that you could watch on Youtube for free. Five, This is just an attention movie. "Hey, it's Fred! Look at me, I have my own movie!" We know Fred. And it sucks. So do you. Six, and most important, this move is DULL. By the half-hour point, I was almost asleep, with Fred's dumb Nickelodeon-tweaked voice keeping me awake until the credits.

I hate this movie, and any Fred fan who wants to disagree with that, go right ahead, but I guarantee you, I will be right about something, even if you disprove the rest of what I said. If you watch any Fred movie, at least watch Fred 2. At least I wasn't bored for a good chunk of it.
