***RELUCTANT SPOILERS***

Just before the third "Jimmy-Timmy Power Hour" crossover TV-movie, Butch Hartman claimed he was running out of ideas for The Fairly Odd-Parents. Yet it seems that just when he thinks he can get out, either Nickelodeon keeps pulling him back in, or another idea for the cartoon that made him famous forms in his head. Either way, like a lot of other people, I expected this to be Nickelodeon's "Howard the Duck." Jennifer Stone already appeared in two bad remakes in disguise. We can only hope Daniella Monet doesn't start making the same mistakes.

Timmy Turner is now 23 years old, and refuses to grow up and make a life for himself in order to keep his fairy godparents, Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof, all of which are in CGI, and voiced by the same cast who provided their voices since the days when it was a hand-drawn "Oh Yeah, Cartoons" segment. His parents are anxious for him to move out, and his teacher Denzel Crocker is still convinced that the reason he's still in elementary school is because of his fairy godparents. Chester and AJ often appear on the sidelines watching Timmy's antics, and bragging about the benefits of being more than just a legal adult. Vicky now runs a day care center and treats kids with the same lack of TLC she did when she was a teenager. Because Timmy never fell in love, except with the noticeably absent Trixie Tang, he has never been in danger of losing the two and later three who have been saving his butt from the misery of childhood and adolescence since he was ten years old. But suddenly while watching a ceremony for the groundbreaking of a combined hotel/oil well(yeah, that'd bring in customers), along comes this gorgeous brunette who strolls over and tries to stop Hugh J. Magnate(Steven Weber), the man who wants to build it. That brunette turns out to be none other than Tootie, the geeky sister of Vicky who had a mad crush on him when they were little kids. The ugly ducking evolving into a beautiful swan routine has been done to death, but Daniella is such a turn-on as grown up Tootie, you won't care. Besides that she wasn't even ugly playing as the Tootie of Timmy's memories.

Needless to say, he makes wishes to help Tootie to stop them, and now his fairy godparents are scared because he's falling in love with her, and spend much of the movie trying to stop him. He knows this too, but he's not as concerned as they are, until they're about to kiss. Timmy's 23 and he's afraid to kiss this beauty? Hell, if I were 23, I'd not only kiss her, I'd wrap my arms around her, run my fingers through her hair, and do things to her that even Cartoon Network's Adult Swim time-slot wouldn't show! Meanwhile Mr. Crocker sets up a meeting with the tycoon who wanted to build that hotel, and reveals the existence of Timmy's Fairy Godparents. Anyone else would blow him off as the nut case he truly is and send him to the booby hatch, but the tycoon decides to team up with him to stop Timmy and Tootie. I'm going to say this, and I don't care if I get tons of hate mail in my IMDb box; David Lewis made an excellent Denzel Crocker. Daran Norris, who voiced both Cosmo and Timmy's dad was also an excellent choice to play as his dad in live-action.

Despite the fact that it has a scene that puts Tootie in peril, it's not as Wagnerian as made-for-TV movie versions of FOP, most notably "Abra-Catastrophe" and "Channel Chasers." Whatever else you may say about it, you have to give them some credit for staying true to the spirit of the cartoon, right down to the prop department. Live-action Dimmsdale is as loaded with 1950's and 1960's era cars and trucks as the original cartoon was, although it would've been nice to see a live-action version of Mr. & Mrs. Turner's mid-1960's Ford Country Squire station wagon. There's also a scene where Chester and AJ are given some supposedly hot girlfriends(twins, in fact), and turn to the camera and ask if we're jealous. Not of you two. Of Timmy? Definitely!

So why exactly was this live action? Really for gimmicks sake, but I imagine it was a successful gimmick, and one that peaked many viewers' interests (including myself). So basically what we have is a live action version of a cartoon show that doesn't particularly lend itself to live action, with a plot that zips along at about an hour, with no real time to build up anything that feels cinematic. Basically, this feels like a longer, live action episode of the show (though it would have to take place long after the series), that probably would have been better as a cartoon.

Timmy Turner (Drake Bell) is 23, still in the fifth grade, and still living with his parents so he can keep his fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda. At a public event to destroy the town park, he sees Tootie (Daniella Monet) who has now become an activist, and he begins to fall in love with her. Cosmo and Wanda can't let this happen, because he will lose them, while meanwhile an oil tycoon Hugh Magnate (Steven Weber) and Timmy's crazy teacher Mr. Crocker (David Lewis) hatch a scheme to steal Timmy's godparents.

The performances are fine, if not a little corny. Drake Bell is really hamming it up with his overly enthusiastic acting job, but for a 23 year old man-child this seems quite tame compared to Pee-Wee Herman or Madtv's Stewart, so it could be way goofier. Daniella Monet plays Tootie and she gives an okay performance, about what you'd expect from Nickelodeon. Mark Gibbon plays Jorgen von Strangle quite well, and sounds a lot like him from the animated show. Daran Norris who plays Cosmo and Mr. Turner on the cartoon show, also played both of them here, and was actually quite funny and sort of deranged looking as Timmy's dad. Everybody is over the top, as this is a live action cartoon, and there's no drama at all, but whatever, it's not really a movie, just a goofy extended finale (?) to the series.

Nothing really stands out as being particularly good here. The plot plods along very quickly, assuming we all know the characters already, as most watching should. The ending is forced, and corny, and kind of bizarre in how fast Timmy and Tootie's relationship has progressed so quickly, but whatever, it had a nice message. Jason Alexander and Cheryl Hines show up for some reason as Cosmo and Wanda when they take the form of human beings to destroy Timmy's date, and there's no reason whatsoever for them, except for some celebrity cameos, and again, they're fine in the roles, but pointless.

Everything here moves along as quick as it possibly can, and while it's pretty entertaining is a very stupid way, it's also not really cinematic, and many of the plot points are retread from other episodes, but it's basically what one would expect when they heard about a made for TV live action Fairly Oddparents movie. Not a lot of laughs, many of the jokes fall flat because these cartoony gags don't really work too well in live action, especially live action filmed as safe and sit-commy as this, but at the same time it's not boring, the colors are bright, and the story moves along thanks to silly (not a bad thing) performances and a short running time. And if you love the ending to Back to the Future parts 1 or 3, and have longed for the Fairly Oddparents to homage it, then your wait is over. Expect goofy entertaining mediocrity, and you will probably enjoy this to some degree.

My rating: ** out of ****. 60 mins. Not rated, contains some "poopy" humor.

I want to know who decided that making this movie would be a good idea.

Like, seriously.

Now, don't get me wrong, I usually love Drake Bell. However, he isn't Timmy Turner. The only person who can pull off Timmy is Tara Strong, who's voice work I missed during this movie. Bell just seemed more confused than anything, while Strong's work just... fits. This was a problem shared by the entire cast, however, so I figure I should just get that out of the way first.

In all honesty, it was as bad as I thought it was going to be as soon as I saw that there was a live action Fairly Odd Parents movie in the works. With a 23-year-old Timmy still in fifth grade. Yes, it gets stupider.

There's a reason why cartoons aren't shot in live action; gags such as Crocker's fairy breakdowns just don't... work. And yet they tried to push it as if it did work, which just took away from the entire movie as a whole. You could see Lewis trying to become Crocker, but it just didn't work. And its not anyone's fault, either. There are just some things you cannot do in live action, especially with a small budget.

The ending was abysmal. A slap in the face.

Throughout the series when Timmy is 'forced' into giving up his fairies (most notably in Channel Chasers, which was spit at and stomped to the ground in this movie), you can see him at first try to avoid this by acting childish and never wanting to grow up, but eventually he does. He grows into a mature person who's willing to put aside his wants for the good of others. Remember that selfless moment near the end of Abra-Catastrophe! when he sets his fairies free in order to save the world? Of course, he gets them back (obviously, this isn't a cartoon with much continuity at all) and reverts back to his normal, selfish self, but at least in the movies there's a sense that he has grown. Again, I bring up Channel Chasers, where he actually ended up giving up his fairies and losing his memory of them. It's a part of growing up that in past movies dealing with the subject - he does.

Well, this movie decided to be 'different', I guess. While it's a happy ending that makes a little bit of sense (Timmy has saved Fairy World a lot), it doesn't fit in with the rest of the series. Channel Chasers is at least believed to be canon (and Timmy getting together with Tootie at the end of Grow Up Timmy Turner! fits in a bit with the Channel Chasers ending (if visual clues are to be looked at, anyway)), but this completely disregards it. All that growing up and character development he does throughout the entire movie is completely pointless, and he gets to keep his fairies anyway.

Cosmo and Wanda are also ridiculously out of character. While Cosmo is still stupid (does anyone else remember the days when he wasn't as stupid as he was just a bit dim and gullible?), Wanda is oddly attached to stopping Timmy from growing up (she's stupid, too, by the way). I can't imagine that either of them would be happy about leaving him, but trying to stop him from having a family and a life beyond elementary school? It's very selfish and unlike either of them. Fairy Godparents are supposed to help children with difficult issues - whether parents that ignore you or evil babysitters - and help them grow up happy.

Also, Vicky is just... weird in this special. I don't know who wrote her that way and why, but they need to be fired. Now.

Blatant disregard for such a beloved series should really not be tolerated by anyone. How this movie is so highly rated is beyond me. The writing is bad, the jokes are bad, the characters that are usually at least semi-tolerable become gratingly annoying, and the story is stupid from beginning to end.

Oh, and Randy Jackson shows up and speaks one line as Poof.

I still have no idea why that was such a big deal, or if it was supposed to be funny.

One out of ten stars.

"The Fairly OddParents" is a crappy cartoon and it shouldn't ever have a live-action adaptation. For some reason, the producers of this movie thought that it would be amusing to see a twenty-three-year-old man acting as a ten-year-old kid. Personally, I found that to be both creepy and depressing.

Like most of the live-action adaptations of cartoons, this has a very ugly and unappealing visual style, with terrible CGI that doesn't combine well with the real action and actors dressed like cosplayers from a fan-made movie.

The plot seem more like something borrowed from a fanfic, and it doesn't even make sense with the rest of the series (I know that "The Fairly OddParents" never cared that much about stuff like continuity and consistency with its own canon, but the ending of this movie is just ridiculous)

What is the point of making live-action versions of cartoons anyway? Those movies are ugly, annoying and poorly made. If I were a fan of "The Fairly OddParents", what I would like to see is one animated movie from that show, instead of seeing Drake Bell doing a lame cosplay version of that series.

The live-action movie versions of cartoons simply can't imitate their animated counterparts: Terrible films such as "Garfield", "Scooby Doo", "Alvin and the Chimpunks" and this one are enough proof of that.

This is a kids' movie, to say the least, but since I'm a kid at heart, I enjoyed every minute of it. I wonder what people expect from a cartoon-turned live-action movie anyway...well, judging from all the negative reviews, I'd say a lot. And might I also say: get a grip! It's a cartoon...turned into a live-action movie. It's supposed to be silly, goofy, and over-the-top. It's based on a car-toon. It's not rocket surgery.

I have loved the Fairly Oddparents since they started coming on Nickelodeon many, many years ago. I like Drake Bell, and I love Daniella Monet...a lot. She's always been a really cute, pleasant actress to watch, and now that's she's an adult, she has turned into a stellar beauty with lots of acting potential. I even watch a guilty pleasure (Victorious) with her in it, and the entire cast of that show is just a fun bunch to watch.

This movie has all the "classic" characters, with Vicky being the only exception that I didn't really care for. It's a tried-again standard plot of the cartoon series, so nothing new there, and the ending is a little forced and over-the-top (even for this movie), but I still watched the entire thing, beginning to end, never got bored, and even chuckled a few times. It was fun, and Mr Crocker actually stole the show. I was actually hoping he'd be the main bad guy, but nothing doing. I guess the writers/directors/producers didn't want to go that far down Timmy Turner Lane at this point in the series.

Daniella Monet is an absolute beauty, and I hope she doesn't do anything silly like resorting to plastic surgery to fix her (a tad childish) cheeks. She'll grow out of them if she can just wait. And those boots she wore: red vinyl go-go boots, very reminiscent of the ones Mary Horowitz wears in the movie All About Steve. I wonder if maybe the wardrobe/costume designers were related somehow...

Enjoy it for what it is: good, clean fun. If you liked the cartoon series, I don't see any reason why this won't entertain you as well for a little over an hour. It's a worthy addition to the franchise, I'm sad to see it go. I think everyone did a good job with it and look forward to watching it again in the near future.

As a longtime fan of The Fairly OddParents, I was excited to see the advertisements for this movie which would end the series (though there always seem to be ways around this).

On the whole, the movie was a worthwhile finale and general tribute to the cartoon. I was entertained the whole way through. That being said, however, there were some very specific points that irked me. I have taken the liberty of arranging them into a top-five list for you.

5) A point is made in this movie about Poof's first words. Yet this was (to my recollection) never a running gag in the series. A much more interesting idea would've been to finally reveal Mr. and Mrs. Turner's first names which had been a constant teasing gag for years in the cartoon. Additionally, when Poof does say his first words, he is speaking like a thirty-year-old thug. Does that not feel like a gag that would be more at home in a stupid 90's film?

4) At one point, Cosmo and Wanda pose as normal human adults. However, they are portrayed by entirely different actors. While I am always entertained by Jason Alexander, these portrayals of the couple felt like pale imitations. Furthermore, this is nothing like an earlier time they had done this same thing. In that episode, they simply grew taller and their wands, wings, and floaty-crowny things disappeared.

3) I bought all of the characters as either just the live-action version of their cartoon counterparts or the original character just 13 years later, except Vicky. Cartoon Vicky seemed to pulsate with pure, unadulterated evil. Live-action Vicky seemed more like a generally sweet girl going as the Wicked Witch of the West for Halloween. Additionally (and this is more of a nitpick) but did you ever notice that Vicky's breasts were unnaturally pointy in the cartoon? Well, those get carried over here. Why? None of the other ridiculous physical traits get transferred. Jorgen's chin isn't a foot long, Timmy doesn't have huge buck-teeth, and Crocker has only a slight hunch and his ears are on his head rather than his neck. Why should this of all things make it through?

2) Mr. Crocker is, as always, a delight. However, he is almost entirely overshadowed by new villain Hugh J. Magnate, Jr., a corporate tycoon who wants to build a hotel/oil rig in Dimmsdale. In my opinion, this fails in several ways. For one, Magnate is a very stereotypical villain. Mind you, in watching a live-action cartoon, I'm not expecting The Godfather, but Fairly OddParents would at least have original characters who may or may not have had much depth. Plus, much like Poof talking, this is something that would be more at home in a stupid 90's film. Furthermore, Crocker was way too entertaining, memorable, and interesting character to get the shaft by a guy created for the movie. In fact, nothing in their scheme that Magnate did couldn't have been done by Crocker. Now it could be argued that we've already seen what Crocker does with magic (Jimmy-Timmy Power Hour 1, Abra-Catastrophe) so if he had been in on this by himself we'd just be retreading old territory. That's fair, which brings me to my next point: Crocker was never intended to be Timmy's archenemy; Vicky was. She was the reason he got fairy godparents, so it would've been some very nice irony if she was the one responsible for him losing them. Not to mention the fact that she is, in fact, Tootie's sister, which goes unmentioned.

1) Timmy accepts responsibility, grows up, and gives up his fairy godparents. The series gets the resolution that we all knew was coming and Timmy goes through some very nice character development. All is right...until Jorgen shows up and declares that Timmy is now exempt from losing his fairy godparents. Bullcrap! While it is explained that this is in reward for all the times he saved Fairy World (which makes sense), this was never foreshadowed and Jorgen actually spent the entire movie up until that point trying to ensure that Timmy did grow up and lose Cosmo and Wanda. Plus, this creates some notable problems with the other time we'd seen Timmy's future: Channel Chasers. In the end of that movie, we see Timmy as a thirty-year-old man (a mere seven years after this), married, with two children, and having forgotten all about his fairy godparents (save for some residual memories) who are now assigned to his children. While not necessarily a contradiction, it certainly appears that whoever wrote this installment neglected to research established parts of the show's history. Finally, this raises significant problems for Timmy's development because it undercuts his accepting of the fact that he has to give them up. Mind you, he still does grow as a person, promising to only make unselfish wishes, falling in love, and being a responsible member of society, but this does make me question how much the writers actually cared about such things.

When I first saw a picture of Drake as Timmy I thought... why? I'm always up for a good-bad movie but this just left me clueless as to why anyone would want to make such a movie as this (the only answer I've found is to make quick cash... that's about it). There are so many things wrong with this movie and the first mistake is that it was done live (and not cartoon... but again... easier to film than animate so quick cash). Characters were not themselves or as funny because it was live action. Usually in the show, the fairies would say something funny/make a pun, and then magic would happen (i.e. "cat got your tongue?" then a tiger or a fierce cat would randomly appear and try to get your tongue). No, having the cat appear would mean they would have use special effects... meaning spend more money. So basically, they had to limit the gags. The only one I found true was when Crocker would freak out when he said "fairies"... but it just felt out of place (being live action). So they had to rely on different kind of gags... such as Vicki getting a pizza in her face... bird poo on Chester's head... Tootie being able to do flips... Poof's voice at the end, the animated laughing evil bunny scene, ...etc. They also cut back in other obvious areas too. Like when Cosmo and Wanda transform. Okay, yea.. that makes sense... but their voices? Really? I suppose I should be thankful they addressed that in the movie, but they didn't give a reason. Another thing was seeing the obvious. In the show, Timmy does not wear a jacket. Seeing pictures of him with a jacket... giving it to Tootie... was a dead giveaway that they needed the jacket for the plot to continue. Then there is the constant contradicting stuff... Like if Tootie is such a great gymnast, then why can't she swing herself to safety at the end when she falls off the bridge? Why was Jorgen so determined to make Timmy loose his Godparents when at the end he is happy that Timmy gets to keep his godparents? The biggest disappointment of all was the ending. I love happy endings but this one disappointed me. I grew up watching FOP (stopped around when Poof came), so one of my concerns was... what happens when Timmy grows up and has to say goodbye? Everyone has to grow up someday and move on... but no! Not Timmy Turner! And the reasons were stupid too... 1. Because he saved Fairy World numerous times (okay... fine... makes sense...) and 2. He uses his wishes for the benefit of others. Yea... okay. Like there was never an episode where Timmy used a wish for himself... And I thought the reason for having godparents was too use wishes to make your life better? to have fun and be a kid? There was even an episode where Vicki was no longer a babysitter for him and he was going to loose his godparents because he was content? This movie just messes with the show in too many ways that I can not fit and describe all on here. However, you may be one of the few who can't analyze a movie well (what I mean is, can't see it's flaws like I just described) and enjoy the movie for its humor. Good for you. At least the movie full-filled one of it's purposes... to be enjoyed.

I was ecstatic to find out Nickelodeon created a live-action Fairly Odd Parents movie. And was pleased by the ending because it didn't leave any strings unattached. But it was missing a lot, too. I can't be the only one who was expecting Crimson Chin and even hoping for Chip Skylark to make an appearance (especially considering the town goat was in it!). Also I think Doug Dimadome would have been perfect for the antagonist.

I grew up watching this show, but I haven't watched it in years until this movie just to know how it ends. Ending was good, but I'd like to see more characters.

The world premiere of Nickelodeon's new, made-for-TV movie based on their long-running TV series "The Fairly OddParents" aired this evening. I spent a good portion of my morning and afternoon watching the 10 original "The Fairly OddParents" shorts (made between 1998 and 2001 for Nickelodeon's "Oh Yeah! Cartoons") so I could refresh my memory of the beginnings of the series before seeing the end. Those original shorts, and the earliest seasons of the series (which started its first full season in 2001) are full of offbeat humor and larger-than-life characters. Every character, every story line is over-the-top, but always brilliantly so.

That's why I'm happy to report the new, live-action movie is just as over-the-top as the earliest episodes: a now 23-year-old Timmy Turner is still in the 5th grade, completely content to live like a child if it means he can keep his fairy god parents, Cosmo and Wanda (much to the chagrin of his parents). Unfortunately for Cosmo and Wanda, the once obnoxious Tootie has moved back to Dimmsdale as a full-grown woman. Even worse: she's captured Timmy's attention. When an evil oil magnate teams up with Denzel Crocker to capture the fairies and harvest their magic powers for evil, Timmy has to make the biggest decision of his eternally-youthful life: will he grow up and be with Tootie, or will he leave Tootie to rescue his oldest friends?

The editing and pacing of the movie are reminiscent of a typical episode from the TV series: Mom & Dad quickly swoop into scenes to toss out some quick dialogue, and swoop out as quickly as they came; Denzel Crocker's erratic twitches when he says "FAIRY-GOD-PARENTS" are intact; Cosmo's idiocy is as smooth as ever. Long-time fans of the TV series will find a lot of little touches in the styling of the film to appreciate it (my personal favorite: an appearance by Chompy the Goat).

As a capstone to one of Nickelodeon's biggest successes, it is as good as a live-action movie based on an over-the-top, highly stylized cartoon could be. It is not, however, a perfect movie. The whole thing isn't much longer than an extended episode of the TV series. It only filled its 90-minute time slot because of the long commercial breaks. As a result, most of the supporting characters are only seen briefly, and are anything but developed. Tootie, who hasn't lived in Dimmsdale for thirteen years, has somehow never gotten over her third-grade crush on Timmy. Timmy's feeling of repulsion toward Tootie quickly switches into admiration, and not too long after, his Love-O-Meter (which Wanda checks regularly) is beeping madly. Evil babysitter Vicky appears so briefly, there's almost no point to her being in the movie beyond a one-note joke (it involves Vicky's chosen career for her adult life). Timmy's childhood pals, Chester and AJ, appear just long enough to establish what has become of them since elementary school, but do little else to support the story than give Timmy a ride because he only owns a bicycle.

Then there's an issue of inconsistency with the fairies. The Schwarzenegger-like fairy Jorgen Von Strangle is portrayed in the movie by a human actor. A scene in the later part of the film depicts many other fairies in human form. So why do Cosmo and Wanda spend all but maybe five minutes of the movie as creepy computer-animated versions of the series' classic 2-D depictions? For that roughly five minutes of screen time, Jason Alexander and Cheryl Hines portray full-sized human versions of the magical duo. Susanne Blakeslee and Daran Norris continue to provide voices to the animated Cosmo and Wanda (as they have done since the series premiered). Ignoring the fact that the animated and live-action voices of Cosmo and Wanda do not match (a fact alluded to by Mr. Alexander and Miss Hines shortly after their first appearance on screen), one is left with no explanation as to why these two fairies were computer-animated for the bulk of the movie, and every other fairy is seen in full-sized human form. With today's technology, it should not have been hard to digitally shrink Mr. Alexander and Miss Hines so they could float around Timmy during the movie. It would have been better if the filmmakers had made the creative decision that all non-magical humans would appear normally, and all fairies would appear in CGI form. The gag the humanized Cosmo and Wanda appear for could easily have been accomplished with a bit of magic from the CGI fairies. The fact that the humanized Cosmo and Wanda never reappear after that scene makes it all the more distracting. I should also mention that Poof (Cosmo and Wanda's son, introduced in 2008) also appears in CGI form with his parents (he's a pretty silent role until the end of the film, when he opens his mouth and releases a surprise voice).

Fairy inconsistencies aside, the movie is definitely worth a screening for long-time fans of the series. It's not brilliant movie-making, but it is a sweet little coda to the long-running series (seen on Nickelodeon in short and series form since 1998). I've already added the first season of the TV series to my Amazon.com shopping list, and when this movie finds it's way to DVD/BD, I'll most likely add it to my movie library.

I give "A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!" a total of 7 Magic Wands out of a possible 10: *\ *\ *\ *\ *\ *\ *\

I actually only heard about this live-action film maybe 2 or 3 days ago, and then managed to catch it on TV the next day right before it started. I was pretty skeptical of how it would turn out since turning a cartoon into a live-action film is incredibly risky and just wouldn't be the same, but since I had enjoyed the show so much back in middle school (I'm in college now) I though I'd give it a shot.

You never really realize just how WEIRD cartoons are until you see what it would be like in real life. Pirate ships crashing through your bedroom and people moving at remarkably fast speeds (lol!) but I just found it to be SO funny and enjoyable! It just brought me back to a simpler time. It was very cool to see these animated characters come to life. Mom and dad, Mr. Crocker, Vicky and Tootie, the mayor and Chompy the goat. It was all great fun, and I was pretty impressed with how well a lot of them turned out. Casting Daran as Dad was a great move since he's the actor who voices him (along with Cosmo and Jorgan), and Mr. Crocker was just hilarious and a dead ringer for his cartoon counterpart.

The plot line was childish and seemed a bit unusual for a live-action film, but you have to remember that this is all based off of a cartoon and it worked well for that particular show.

All in all, I laughed a lot and it was fun to see all the characters I loved as a kid come to life. It brought a lot of nostalgia and I'd recommend it to any FOP fan with a good sense of humor who's up for a good laugh.

WARNING REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS DO NOT READ IF You've Haven't SEEN THIS FILM! i thought this movie was gonna suck boy was i wrong it was basically a fairly oddparents cartoon but in live action it had the music cartoon sound effects and everything. crocker acted like crocker timmy acted like timmy etc. but tootys personality was wrong instead of a timmy obsessed nerd she was a hot tree hugger. the spaz outs of crocker were genius but some of the editing had flaws. but timmys parents were excellent. and the cgi was okay special effects and green screen could've been better but it was still okay. and poofs first words were awesome(he didn't say awesome but his first words were awesome). a great way to look into the future. chester and aj were jerks though i give this film an 8 out of 10 because of its sfx and editing flaws. im the cool critic and i review movies and TV shows that rock and suck.
