F.R.E.D.I.

Our kids enjoyed this movie. Good acting, sweet story.

Mostly, this felt like an 80s family movie to me, which is no bad thing. It has elements of ET, Short Circuit, War Games and Flight Of The Navigator. There's really nothing original in there but it's all good escapist stuff. The basic gist is a kid finds a cute AI robot, the movie is then about him and his friend getting to know it, and then having exciting adventures with it. There are a couple of weak actors, the bad guy doesn't convince and the father is a bit wooden, but pretty much everyone else hits the right note. It all has a good steady pace, and overall I was entertained. I'm pretty sure younger kids will love it.

Not sure what others were looking for, but this is exactly what it appears to be. Teens caught up in intrigue after an evil tech company loses track of one of their gadgets. It's fun and has a little something for everyone.

FREDI was a cute family friendly kids film with some sci-fi thrown into the adventure.

It is a nice movie for kids to watch by themselves, with their parents and with their grandparents. Which is actually quite refreshing. I watched this and was pleasantly taken back to the era of Goonies, ET, and good old fashioned fun and adventure. It also reminded me of the old Disney kid films like Herbie the Love Bug, and Escape from Witch Mountain.

The cinematography was great, it really showcased some beautiful landscapes. The musical score was great as well as pace of the movie. It was a nice amount of continuous action that kept me interested from start to finish.

Sure, I can find things that could have been better or done differently, but I'm not going to let it detract from the enjoyment of watching something that kids could enjoy. I'm in my 50's, remember what it was like to be a kid...FREDI was just that, it was a cute kids movie.

So for all those who gave this negative reviews...it is a kids film, like Trix, this movie is for kids...and parents are allowed to like it too.

I wouldn't watch it if it was for my kid. If I would rate this as an adult point of view I would give it a lower rating.

Actually I got annoyed by the acting particularly one of the kids in the movie which feel more like a sitcom serie for teenages.
