Fun Size Reviews

This is a dog's breakfast of a film, lurching from simpering teen-romcom sentiment to off-colour paedophile gags to sub-'Juno' hipster cultural references to a lecture on the woes of single motherhood without breaking stride.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

This is utterly disposable stuff, but it does have its moments.

Screenwriter Max Werner and director Josh Schwartz clearly have several well-worn copies of Adventures in Babysitting between them, but they keep the gags coming at a brisk pace.

Full Review

Though it doesn't always hit the hilarity target, this tween-targeted romp strikes a sweet-but-not-sappy balance.

Full Review

There's little fun to be had in this foolish Halloween comedy that generates many more eye rolls than laughs.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

It feels like a project that was pitched for the CW but watered down for Nickelodeon audiences. In the end, everyone loses.

Full Review | Original Score: C

"Fun Size" presents the broiling hormones of youth at room temperature.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/4

A 90-minute theatrical release from Nickelodeon Productions that, if anything, should have aired as a half-hour Nickelodeon special.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

"Fun Size" lives up to the candy correlation of its title. It's pleasurable enough in the moment, but the buzz fades quickly.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

There's an effervescent tempo to "Fun Size," a gleeful "After Hours" for All Hallow's Eve, but for tweens and teenagers, and set in Cleveland.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5

"Fun Size" seems trapped in a limbo between a hyperkinetic comedy for kids and something more outlaw for teens.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Just like a Halloween miniatures assortment, something for everyone - or no one, as the case may be.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

The fun to be had in Fun Size, a 'tween comedy featuring Victoria Justice of the Nickelodeon TV series Victorious, is neither gigantic nor minuscule; it's just about fun size, which is probably enough.

Full Review

Like a "fun size" chocolate bar, it's just empty calories. It's a momentary pleasure, instantly forgotten.

Full Review | Original Score: C+

By the end of this romp, "Fun Size" actually accomplished something charming: sentimentality without normality.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

A hydra-headed attempt to dirty up the Nickelodeon brand while simultaneously scrubbing raunchy high-school hookup tropes into family-friendly shape.

Full Review

There remains a huge market for a great Halloween teen comedy, but Fun Size is the disappointing apple that your crazy-haired neighbor gives you instead of candy. Feel free to dump this one in the bushes.

Full Review | Original Score: D+

A smart and emotionally satisfying slice of wish fulfillment, tracing how a threatened family finds harmony.
