Fun Size - Teen Directed Film that Emphasizes Importance of Family -

 

Just in time for Halloween, Fun Size offers a storyline that will appeal to a teen audience. Rated PG-13 for good reason as it contains a bit of sexual content, multiple uses profanity and underage drinking. Cheyenne Nguyen, age 8, recommends it for kids ages 13 and up adding, "The message in this movie is family. No matter how annoying your family members are, they are stil the people that we care about the most and will give up anything to be with them." Complete review by Cheyenne is below.

Video Review here. 

This movie will make Halloween more fun with Teenagers.

This comedy movie is about a senior in high school name Wren (Victoria Justice) and her mom Joy (Chelsea Handler) and her brother Albert (Jackson Nicoll).

A high school senior Wren (Victoria Justice), who is looking forward to college to be away from her family.  She also wish she can be away from her little brat brother.  Wren's mother, Joy, wanted her to babysit her little brother Albert on Halloween night. The mom wanted to go an adult party with her boyfriend.  Wren is also invited to the party of the year from her high school crush.  So Wren wanted to rush her brother home and put him to bed so she can go to her own party.   However, Albert disappears with the crowd so he doesn’t have to go home.  The adventure begins when Wren and her best friend April, Peng and Roosevelt begins their search for little Albert.

There are so many fun characters in this movie.  All the make-up and costumes in this movie are epic.   Albert’s Spiderman costume is so original with one arm missing.  Wren costume is so cute with-out showing too much skin.  Some of the characters in this movie do not need costume for Halloween, they look naturally scary.

The special effects in this movie are above average.  Some of the scenes are so real and scary.  There are so many flash back scenes and music that all ages can relate to.   

All the actors in this movie are so awesome.  The boys are true nerds and the girls are so beautiful.   This makes it so real.  

The setting with the teenage friends, personal and sibling problems are very understandable.  I can relate to the same feelings between my brother and me.

The best scene is with Albert at the end, he’s always a little terror but a lovable one.

The message in this movie is family.   No matter how annoying your family members are, they are still the people that we care the most about and will give up anything to be with them.  And be careful of what you wish for.

My favorite character is Albert.  He does not know how to express himself until he is in deep trouble.                                          .

I rank this movie 5 out of 5 stars and recommend this for ages 13 and up.
