Fun Size

As ever, "fun size" translates to "no fun whatsoever".

This is a dog's breakfast of a film, lurching from simpering teen-romcom sentiment to off-colour paedophile gags to sub-'Juno' hipster cultural references to a lecture on the woes of single motherhood without breaking stride.

This is utterly disposable stuff, but it does have its moments.

Screenwriter Max Werner and director Josh Schwartz clearly have several well-worn copies of Adventures in Babysitting between them, but they keep the gags coming at a brisk pace.

Though it doesn't always hit the hilarity target, this tween-targeted romp strikes a sweet-but-not-sappy balance.

There's little fun to be had in this foolish Halloween comedy that generates many more eye rolls than laughs.

[Fun Size is] an annoying kid in a superhero costume does not 90 minutes make.

A modern day revamp (of sorts) of the 1980s teen classic Adventures in Babysitting meets The Hangover for tweens, the feature debut of television writer/producer Josh Schwartz is a mess of a movie.

A gaudy, simple-minded fiasco that's too dumb for adults and too suggestive for kids.

An offensive and obnoxious comedy that never feels secure in its own identity.
