Synopsis

Join Fred in his hilarious journey to find Judy! Hey, it’s Fred in his first movie! And he is in love with the girl next door, Judy (Pixie Lott). But his nemesis neighbor, Kevin (Jake Weary), thwarts all attempts Fred makes to see her, and when he finally succeeds in making it over to Judy’s house — she’s moved! With the advice of his super cool dad (John Cena), Fred embarks on an epic journey full of gut-busting fun to find her. So, jump in the kiddie pool and join Fred, Bertha (Jennette McCurdy), and the whole gang for a hilariously good time in Fred: The Movie!

Review

Though he is, for all intents and purposes, "straight" (::fake cough:: sexually confused :: fake cough::), Fred, the protagonist of Fred: The Movie is the most flamboyantly gay character that you'll ever find on a Nickelodeon program (seriously - he rivals Cliff Gorman in The Boys in the Band). Imagine a screechy, effeminate, ultra-twinky version of Pee-Wee Herman and you're on the right track. Creator Lucas Cruikshank first presented his Fred Figglehorn character in web videos on You Tube and created enough buzz - 7.6 million viewers tuned in to the Nickelodeon premiere - to warrant interest in a full-length feature film (you know... for kids). It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but there is something fascinating about watching a future drag-queen chase after a popular girl named Judy (Brit-pop star Pixie Lott) because he hasn't realized that he wants to BE HER more than he wants to BE WITH HER. It may not be what the filmmakers intended, but it's easy to infer.
