Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred (2011) Reviews

• To quote the Nostalgia Critic: "You Are Scum!"

  anthony-rigoni2012-07-11

  I'm not kidding you, this is the sequel to an already horrendous movie back in 2010. This time, Kevin's little sister(For some reason, I don't know what her name is) makes her debut and Fred falls in love with her instead of Judy(About time he quits pursuing that bimbo). And you'd never believe what kind of stupid, idiotic plot it has: Fred Figglehorn thinks the new teacher is some kind of monster after watching a horror movie. Boy, Fred must be having some serious issues around here. And let me guess, this movie is parodying some movies such as Night of Living Dead and Twilight: New Moon, right? You bet your sweet Aunt Fanny it is! And boy, does this movie suck at it! Oh look! It's the same characters from the last movie and they still suck! And yes, Kevin, Fred's Mom, and Bertha(Not played by Jennette McCurdy this time) are in it as well. And I pity the numb-nuts who gave this movie ten stars out of ten!

• Fred 2: Return of the Living Nightmare character

  TheLittleSongbird2013-08-23

  The first movie was unwatchable and one of the worst movies ever made. Fred 2 is a smidgen better, but that is saying very little as it is still horrible in every department. Of the acting, the best performance comes from Siobhan Fallon who has some comic timing that are wasted by how badly written the movie is. John Cena is also amusing and watchable at least. The rest however either can't do anything with their roles or are a real annoyance. Lucas Cruishank is the absolute worst, he can't act out of a paper bag and if there is a voice more painfully ear-splitting it's personally yet to be heard. The characters are some of the most obnoxious and stupid ever, while the writing is lazy, has no heart or charm and is not funny at all. The WWE skit was just embarrassing. The story is very thin and predictable, nowhere near enough to sustain nearly an hour and a half. Not to mention so idiotic that it insults the intelligence, as well as losing any kind of energy in the second half. There are parody-like scenes here and there but they suffer from being too obvious and being very poorly written that they are in no way funny or scary. Fred 2 looks cheap too, it never rises above hurriedly made made for TV quality and the settings are gaudy and lifeless. All in all, at least it's not as bad as the first but it is still horrible. 1/10 Bethany Cox

• Better than the first

  PhantomDragon962011-11-05

  It was better than the first one. The writing was a little better. But it was still really annoying to me. I only watched it because my friend wouldn't get off my back until I did. So I finally watched it last night. I was surprised by the fact that I enjoyed it a little. Bu his voice still makes me want to rip my ears off. However, I love Jake Weary, Ariel Winters, and John Cena, so that made the movie far more bearable. So overall, the movie was annoying, irritating, pointless, and not at all an awesome movie. But if you've been a Fred fan for a long time, you'd probably enjoy it a lot more than I did. As I said before, it was WAY WAY better than the first one, which I wouldn't even rate a one. more like a - 9..

• A pleasant surprise considering the unwatchable original.

  Monolight2013-06-09

  Let me start by saying that I hated the original. It was unintentionally creepy and had no laughs, only pathetic attempts and Fred himself was painful to watch and/or hear. Here, from the get go, the style has changed. Fred is no longer the only active character so we don't see as much of him, the humor took a step in the right direction and there's a lot less seizures in front of the camera. The story is basically a silly Halloween tale about vampires. A creepy teacher moves into the neighborhood, he acts weirdly, so Fred starts thinking he's a vampire. Incidentally, there's no sign of Jane, or July, or whatever her name was, the actress presumably finally understanding she was in a Fred movie and quickly ran away as far from the set as possible. Most of the characters are no longer just stereotypes, by which I mean they're not as annoying. In the first part of the movie some of the jokes work, more or less. They're a lot more varied and strange, in a good way, and they're driven by the plot. Some gags of course fall so flat on their faces it's embarrassing (I'm looking at you WWE skit). As Fred grows more and more convinced the teacher is a vampire he decides to spray everyone with garlic to protect them. This is where the movie loses all the funny (the little it had) and just starts going through the motions. It also runs out of plot half-way through and turns into a collection of joyless scenes throwing in whatever it can think of. All in all, far from good, but a lot better than the original. This movie actually has some laughs, although, not nearly enough to counterbalance the annoying unfunny parts.

• Bad

  rhonacameron-639542019-01-12

  This movie is bad. I can't be bothered to write much for this terrible movie. It's not funny at all, the actors are bad and Fred clearly has some phsycological issues. In fact why didn't they make a movie about that? Would have been much, much better than this steaming pile of crap. The only good things about this movie is John Cena and Fred falling out of a window. Don't watch this because I don't like it when people die from something like Fred Figglehorn. It's better than Fred 3 but not as good as Fred 1.
