Fun Size Reviews

Justice makes a likeable lead but director Josh Schwartz's comic touch is distinctly leaden and a high proportion of the would-be funny scenes - some of them involving an uncredited Johnny Knoxville - fall flat.

Full Review

Justice has a real charm and appeal on-screen, looking good in just about anything she wears in the film...

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Nickelodeon goes outside their comfort zone with Fun Size, but the film is very hit or miss, with an inconsistent tone.

Full Review | Original Score: 5.5/10

It's pure Nickelodeon stuff: bubblegum high jinks that's short on laughs but also, mercifully, shy on offending, too.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Here's yet another example of a DVD film inexplicably receiving a full-on cinema release...It doesn't help that Victoria Justice, pretty as she is, does not exactly ignite the screen with comic charisma.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Fun Size is the Nickelodeon equivalent of a Hallmark card for Halloween. Even the target audience will be asking their parents when it's polite to dispose of it after the holiday.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/5

The incongruous, colourful and bizarre are jumbled together in a Halloween size pumpkin in this occasionally puerile, at times endearing and often silly comedy in which a giant fake chicken violates the rear of a yellow Volvo as its ultimate low.

Genuine laughs develop in the wake of a pretty teenage nerd.

Full Review

Barely developed characters come and go while faux edgy jokes and obscure American pop cultural references fall flat.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

Tweenies are more forgiving than I am.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

You know you're in trouble when a madcap comedy is unable to even raise a smile.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

The good news about this film is that it's only 96 minutes long. The bad news is that it is 96 minutes long.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/10

It's the usual assemblage of grossout horrors provided for your alleged amusement... The freshly upsetting thing here is that this is a Nickelodeon production -- you know, the cable network for kids...

As ever, "fun size" translates to "no fun whatsoever".

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

A gross, sprawling and barely credible teen comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

There's barely a laugh on the horizon as Fun Size ambles through a series of unremarkable set pieces, tumbleweed one-liners and awkward tonal shifts.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

This Size doesn't matter.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

More adult humor than we have come to expect from a Nickelodeon product, but enjoyable just the same.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10

Just when I was completely losing patience with proceedings, the film started.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

As the title implies, Josh Schwartz's first directing job is designed purely for the short-term satisfaction of simple appetites.
