Movie Reviews

Movie Review from EmpireOnline.com

Fred is Lucas Cruickshank’s brainchild; a webcam-savvy kid with a hyper-spasticity for calling dogs “squirrels” and showering in a car wash. A YouTube sensation, his three-minute freak-outs are here extended by a further 80 minutes. A puerile ‘plot’ sees Fred stalking melodious Judy (popstrel Pixie Lott). But Lott’s girl-next-door no longer lives… next door. Fred, who rescues her (from next next door) goes, like, SCHIZ, in ways unseen since Linda Blair rode a mechanical bed. The main event — Fred’s offensive ‘voice’ — is on a torturous par with Crazy Frog. Singing Aqua. At Guantanamo. Debuting Stateside on Nickelodeon, Fred gets cinematic release here; something even less explicable than his 1.8 million YouTube subscribers.

Movie Review from TotalFilm.com

Rejoice! Helium-voiced YouTube sensation Fred Figglehorn (Lucas Cruikshank) gets his own movie, which sees the troublesome teen vie with bully Kevin (Jake Weary) for the affections of girl-next-door Judy (pop star Pixie Lott, looking uncomfortable). Screeching like a slasher-flick victim, Cruikshank treats us to an increasingly moronic series of pratfalls which promote kid-friendly ideals like junk food, xenophobia and the joys of playing with electric cables. Even young fans of the online shorts will find the concept stretched perilously thin. And if your eardrums don’t break, your spirit certainly will.

Movie Review from Guardian.co.uk

The YouTube phenomenon about the teenage dork called Fred with the speeded-up voice has been expanded to a feature-length movie: and it’s an ordeal worthy of comparison with Tom Green’s notorious comedy Freddy Got Fingered. The big deal is that voice: an ingenious trick on the web perhaps, but here it wears thin after the first billionth of a second. It sounds a bit like Pinky, or perhaps Perky, or possibly Gene Wilder’s moment of hysteria in The Producers. (“My blue blanket! I’m wet! I’m wet and I’m hysterical!”) There is one sort-of reasonable joke about the Marriott hotel. Otherwise this is one to miss.
