There is certainly nothing fun about “Fun Size” as it’s the kind of film that can easily be associated with such phrases as ‘the bottom of the barrel’. Every single minute of it is so bad that it can be banded with a small collection of films such as “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III” and “Earth Girls Are Easy”.
In “Fun Size”, we get a premise/plot that is so insulting that it makes the bulk of teen comedies look clever as we see a girl named Wren (Victoria Justice) forced to babysit her little brother Albert on Halloween when she’d rather by boosting herself up the popularity scale by going to a party. The little boy gets lost, which prompts a series of cringingly poor events that make as much sense as “Monty Python” but lack any form of intelligence making it about as funny as hearing news a close relative has passed on.
The acting in “Fun Size” is definitely bad and the characters themselves are awful. They are all cardboard cut-outs of characters from other teen coms and have less depth to them than the characters in something such as “Disaster Movie”. The little boy doesn’t speak so maybe his career won’t be totally destroyed by this film.
There are films out there that are simply references to other films mixed with toilet humour; this one doesn’t even have the novelty of the references. It installs such sickening images in our head as a young boy on the toilet and a girl giving a cat an asthma attack that you simply will find yourself traumatised by it. On an enjoyment scale this movie ranks about as low as you can get. The only positive is at least it is a movie and you can turn it off. In fact, there is more satisfaction in pressing the button on your remote to turn off your tv than there is watching any part of this picture. I hate people on phones while watching films but if this one comes on then this is a good time to get it out.
