Foodfight! review

Posted : 2 years, 1 month ago on 2 April 2022 10:04

There is not much to add to what has already been said, and so well by everybody else here. As a lifelong animation fan, Foodfight! is one of the few that I deem completely unwatchable and it is certainly one of the worst animated films ever made. The animation is unspeakably awful, not just the worst computer-animation in an animated film(excluding Video Brinquedo's and Spark Plug Entertainment's output, seriously the animation here makes Animals United seem like Toy Story in comparison) but some of the worst-looking animation ever. Everything looks so flat and stiff, no vibrant colours, technical invention or easy movements, and you'd be hard pressed to find creepier and more nightmare-inducing character designs. The music is generic and completely unmemorable, often it is placed in an irrelevant and over-used way too. The story was not a very good idea to begin with, but everything is so contrived and predictable it actually hurts, there is little momentum in the pacing and the story meanders a lot while being simplistic at the same time. In short you are never engaged or emotionally invested. There is not a single decent character either, they are either annoying or insignificant and their creepy designs(especially the villains) further add to this. The voice cast on paper are talented, but the voice work is poor here with only Christopher Lloyd trying, Charlie Sheen sounds very detached and bored and there is a lot of overdone hyperactivity and wasted talent everywhere else. Harvey Fienstein is the only other voice actor along with Lloyd who sounds immediately distinctive, the bad news is that I didn't see the point of his very brief role. The script was the worst culprit though, not in a long time has there been a script in an animated film this abominably bad, the bad-taste bathroom humour, out-of-place and inappropriate innuendo, Nazi overtones and equally crude one-liners and catchphrases that are enough to make anyone cringe taken to offensive levels. To conclude, cheap and intelligence-insulting, Foodfight! is execrable, not just one of the worst animated films ever but one of the worst films in general that I've seen in some time. 0/10 Bethany Cox

Foodfight! review

Posted : 9 years, 8 months ago on 21 August 2014 12:52

Almost everyone on The internet has reviewed or pointed out how bad this movie is, but honestly none of the reviews do it justice. No matter how bad you think or say it is, it's much much worse.

Foodfight is infamous for it's troubled production, it was originally supposed to be released in 2003, but the footage was stolen in what writer/director Larry Kasanoff called "an act of corporate espionage", and for 10 years, the movie floated in pre-production hell as Kasonoff's production company, Threshold Entertainment foight just to get it released. Finally, after Kasanoff auctioned the movie off for $5 million in 2007, Foodfight was released on DVD on May 7, 2013 with a budget of $65 million. But quite frankly, they would have been better of just scrapping the project and moving on.

The animation is hideous, the characters are bland and unlikable, the world in the movie makes no sense, the humour is either too inappropriate for kids or too stupid for adults, and the movie as a whole is surprisingly mean-spirited.

In conclusion, Foodfight is a poorly made, and mean spirited peace of drek that no one should ever have the misfortune of watching. Avoid it like the plague.

0.5/10

Fuck this movie. The animation makes me wanna puke, the writing makes "Movie 43" look like "Pulp Fiction", and the premise. Oh god the premise. The premise is basically the same as movies like "Roger Rabbit" or "Toy Story", except with corporate mascots and a billion times shittier.

Despite the film's shittiness Charlie Sheen's performance is actually pretty decent. Sheen voices a talking detective dog who looses his girlfriend. Now that's the end of anything good in this crap. His girlfriend in question is a horrifying abomination voiced by Hillary Duff created by furries who failed their class on computer animation. Then we have his best friend/sidekick, an annoying shitcorn squirrel voiced by Wayne Brady. The squirrel is made of chocolate, which is the target of many race jokes in the film. However the most baffling of them all is Christopher Loyd as the villain, he is quite possibly the most horrifying CGI character in the history of cinema.


Now lets get to the "animation". The animation is the worst I've ever seen in any CGI film, even "Ratatoing" had better animation than this garbage. Now I know this was in development for over a decade but that is no excuse, I've seen seen Sega 32X games with better CGI than this film. Whenever a water effect is on screen it looks like someone just took a big shit, especially with the Wayne Brady character.

Now the big one, the writing. The writing is fucking atrocious, it makes the worst of Dreamworks look like Shakespeare. Many of the jokes rely on food puns and sex jokes with a dash of racial humor. There are a lot of whipped cream seamen jokes and chocolate race jokes. Who was the target audience again?

Overall the film is fucking shit, avoid this at all fucking costs, if you show this to your kids they need to be taken away by child services. 0.0/5.0
