    My life will never be the same again.

    The Adventures of Food Boy is a film that has quite literally changed my entire outlook on; love, life and ham sandwiches. Not quite as impressive as "Hobo with a shotgun", "The Toxic Avenger" or "Surfing Nazis Must Die" but it hardly seems fair to compare it against such lofty masterworks of cinema.

    So the premise. Ezra, a unpopular high school student believes that running for junior class president is his one way ticket to clunge-town and paving his way to a prestigious college, unfortunately much to Ezra's dismay, he gets hit hard by a heavy handed puberty metaphor and rather than growing a curly wig of hairs around his particulars he instead begins shooting bread from the palms of his hand! But he isn't limited to just bread, oh no! It transpires that he is able to create all manner of food stuffs from his body and thus begins Ezra's adventure as the titular food boy.

    So you are probably thinking that his adventures consist of globe trotting and solving the crippling food problems in third world countries or perhaps he dons a mask and fights crime firing peanuts from his finger tips at allergic bank robbers! Alas you are thinking far too small eager readers! No, Ezra uses his unique gift for personal gain, mystifying his peers with 'food magic', becoming a food fight dynamo and teaching his 40-something year old school bully a lesson in humility! To be fair to Ezra he does do a brief stint feeding the homeless in a soup kitchen but soon realised the futility of it all realising that they would much rather be given change to buy drugs or a can of special brew despite their protests that in an age of mobile phones that they only want it for bus fare or a pay phone.

    If I went any further into explaining the film then I would be spoiling the incredibly gripping and deep plot that the writers have sculpted as their very own modern day citizen Kane. The Adventures of Food Boy is a master piece coming of age film, set to become a modern day classic and a complete roller coaster.

    Unmatched cinematography

    This is one of the movies of all time. I have watched this movie countless times and every single time it brings me pure joy. The writer of this movie is nothing less than brilliant and he deserves Oscar's of all kinds. The actors for this movie were handpicked among the best in the world. This movie reminds me of the whole Star Wars series because it is that good. I would compare the bathroom food scene to the part where Luke fights darth Vader and darth Sidius. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes to have fun. No other movie compares to this movie in the slightest. You need to watch this movie now or Ezra will come to your house.

    Majestic!

    This movie is the absolute best! I, like many others ended up in tears while watching this movie! The way the food shoots from his hands... I can only describe it with one word MAJESTIC!!!!!!! The way I see the turkey and mustard shoot from his hands makes me feel so happy and hungry, I immediately ran to a burger truck because I was so starving. If I could compare this movie to another I would say strawberry shortcake winterberry ball, the reason for this is because it's a beautiful mix between food and amazing cinematography! I have no words left to say. But I have to right more because I do have more to say and it's about Ezrah! Oh my goodness! He is an amazing actor and I can tell an amazing person in real life! Ok that's it. Thank you.

    A bit boring!

    One thing that drove me nuts! The actors are suppose to be high school students?! Garret looks like a 40 year old. I was waiting for something interesting to happen.. His coolness all has to do with shooting food from his hands. An it was all a bit pointless?! I can't say much with out adding a spoiler. Ugh. I don't think they really have one tho. It's just a really corny movie with old people that are suppose to betray high school students! His issue of not being able to control his magic food hands I guess is the issue? An debating if he should get with a girl! They want me to add ten lines and this story is so blank I can't think of that much to right! Any ways the girl is mad at him over something ridiculously silly! She thinks he's acting odd well DUH he's all of a sudden shooting food out of his hands! An yeah no one questions how or why he can do it? Really there isn't even a point on why he got them or how. I'm watching this right now and Garret trying to be a popular high school student makes me laugh! What was the directors thinking when they thought this would look normal? I see more background actors that look younger then the main!

    Wow!

    You don't understand the love I have for this movie. The cinematic, the writing, the actors, everything about this movie is unforgettable. The first time I watched this movie, I was so completely taken aback by the richness of the movie that I cried. I cried the WHOLE movie. Not just a light tearing up, no. It looked like all my earthly problems decided to hit me at once. I could not stop sobbing. I cried so hard I became severely dehydrated, and my coke did not help relieve my quench. While the aftermath was not pretty, I do value this movie. I am proud to say I love this movie. Through and through.
