    "Bye, Bye Little Boy Blue... I am Back!" This movie is pure chaos and I love it. It feels like the script was thrown together in a day or two, but that's not a terrible thing. I imagine the board looked something like this: Step 1 - Kid is a liar Step 2 - Kid tells the truth and no one believes him Step 3 - Kid does whatever he can to prove he's telling the truth Step 4 - Paul Giamatti is dyed blue Step 5 - Kid becomes a successful writer in Hollywood Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes are adorable, Paul Giamatti is the epitome of a vindictive villain and the antics are hilarious. There are dumb moments scattered throughout, but it's the perfect movie to throw on when you don't want to veg out. Best Character: Frank Best Quote: "Eat my bloomers, blue boy!" - Crazy Old Lady Best Scene: Marty turns blue. Honorable mention: Finding the hideout Best Song: "Hungry Like the Wolf"

    Standard fare kids movie, elevated by the star quality of Muniz and Giamatti. It's playful and silly, yet the actions of the protagonist are deeply malicious. It's enjoyable and light-hearted, though ridiculous.

    Fun, lighthearted movie. Yes, it's a kid/teen film. Nothing wrong with that.

    This movie has an interesting story and set-up, but unfortunately, the film does nothing with it and resorts to simple slapstick and gags.

    It's Not Good. There is nothing truly broken about this except this should never have been made into a big screen feature. This is a 30 minute animated episode of a kids cartoon. The acting isn't good filled with over the top performances, no chemistry between the two leads and jokes that fall flat 95% of the time. The cinematography while creative and fun to look at with certain sets that involve the studio backlots isn't shot in a creative quality way and the rest of it is very uninspired. The music is over the top and isn't very good either. The worst thing is the editing. Over a third of this I feel could be cut and nothing would be lost. Jokes/Gags that don't move the plot forward and just fill run time and big stunts that serve no purpose. The pacing is actually ok oddly enough probably because this is extremely short to begin with. Honestly skip this and just watch a 30 minute show that has a similar plot.
