Fun Size

Fun Size is a 2012 American teen comedy film directed by Josh Schwartz, written by Max Werner, and starring Victoria Justice, Thomas Mann, Jane Levy and Chelsea Handler.

[4] In Cleveland, Ohio,[5] Joy, the widowed mother of high school senior Karen “Wren” DeSantis, is dating a 26-year-old named Keevin.

They just miss him at a local convenience store, where he meets an employee named Fuzzy who seeks revenge against Jörgen, a mixed-martial arts fighter, who won the heart of his ex-girlfriend Lara.

After Roosevelt accidentally destroys the restaurant's mechanical chicken statue and severely damages the car, and Peng angrily shoots Puglio's drumstick with his loaded 1800s-style pistol, April escapes.

Arriving and telling him she doesn't have the money, he calls the police but puts them on hold when Wren finds out that he is a fan of the Beastie Boys.

She offers to give him the collectible jacket she inherited from her late father, which was left behind by Mike D in his recording studio, as a substitute for cash.

Roosevelt shows up at the house, stating that he will get a part-time job at Captain Chicken to pay off the damages that he caused, and declaring his feelings for Wren.

The consensus states: "It occasionally shows surprising flashes of wit, but Fun Size is too safe and formulaic -- not to mention unfunny -- to survive comparisons to the '80s teen movies it eagerly imitates.

[26] Corey Hall of the Detroit Metro Times gave this film a score of C and said that "Most of the dialogue sounds like it came from 35-year-old guys — and not from Carly Rae Jepsen fans.

[29] Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film 1.5/4 stars and wrote: "There's little fun to be had in this foolish Halloween comedy that generates many more eye rolls than laughs.

Club gave the film a grade of D+, writing: "Justice is a pretty, personality-free screen presence, while the more interesting cast members, like Levy and Handler, are stuck in shrill, unsympathetic roles.

"[31] On the positive side, Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter enjoyed the film and wrote, "Though it doesn't always hit the hilarity target, this tween-targeted romp strikes a sweet-but-not-sappy balance.

"[32] Alonso Duralde of TheWrap wrote: "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.

"[34] Miriam Bale of the New York Daily News gave the film 3/5 stars, writing: "By the end of this romp, "Fun Size" actually accomplished something charming: sentimentality without normality.
