Blu-ray Review: Teen Comedy ‘Fun Size’ Doesn’t Fit Anyone
Submitted by BrianTT on February 28, 2013 - 10:46amCHICAGO – “Fun Size” is such a weird, weird movie. Who was it made for? It bears the Nickelodeon label but also a PG-13 rating and enough suggestive humor that it could never air uncut on the network. Perhaps the clear fact that no one ever figured out its audience is why it never found one, grossing less than any Nick movie to date and opening in 10th place. You may be curious now that it’s on Blu-ray and DVD. Just rent one of the films this work so clearly mimics instead.

Submitted by mattmovieman on May 30, 2012 - 4:59amCHICAGO – McG’s “This Means War” could’ve been an interesting comedy if it had actually been about the undeniable love between its two male leads.
