Foodfight! Audience Reviews

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
nb-87458 Never seen anything better than this before. I honestly hope it gets a great rating.
Java_Joe How's this for an animated move? It takes place in a supermarket but after hours it comes alive with all the brand mascots coming to life and interacting with each other? You could have Charlie the Tuna talking to Mr. Clean! How amazing would that be? Well that was the question that Lawrence Kasanoff had for about 70 brand managers in his new sure to be epic movie "Foodfight!". They managed so wrangle $60 million for this and got the permission to use all these mascots for their new venture Threshold Digital, an offshoot of Threshold Entertainment that was going to be the new Pixar. Except there was a difference between Pixar and Threshold. Pixar has managed to make hit after hit with very few commerical failures meanwhile Threshold has literally never put a product to air that has truly succeeded. This was not going to be good.They failed to come out in 2007 and 2008 and then when the movie was half rendered, the hard drives were stolen in which Kasanoff called a case of "industrial espionage". So instead of restoring from a backup or something they simply moved to cheap motion capture. This was a bit of a mistake because now this was the only way the characters were able to show any kind of emotion. You'd think they'd use the face but beyond flapping their mouths, there was absolutely no plasticity given to them. Literally the characters have these cold dead eyes that never quite look in the direction they're supposed to.And if that wasn't bad enough the this whole thing sent Threshold into receivership and they needed to sell the movie off to the highest bidder. $2.5 million is what they got and that was the opening bid. But what is so bad about it beyond the lack of proper expressions, sponsors that dropped out forcing them to change characters and people that never made a feature length movie before? The story really comes down to this: "Buy commercial brands with mascots because buying store brands is like supporting the Nazis". And no, I'm not kidding.The main characters are all store brands or "Ikes" possibly taken from "icons". The evil Brand X representatives are dressed like Nazis. There's even a scene taken directly from Casablanca, a movie that Kasanoff compared Foodfight! to, in which Brand X starts to sing the Brand X loyalty song while the Ikes break into the Supermarket loyalty song which sounds suspiciously like "La Marseillaise" or the French national anthem. I'm not kidding. One of the most iconic scenes in Casablanca reduced to this. It's shameful.And that's it. The central message is colorful mascots are good, generic and store brands are bad. It's no wonder most of the sponsors dropped out when they found out what the story was about. Watch this for a laugh. For the longest time the DVD was only $5.00 so I would be surprised if it costs more now.
YPGAMING The worst animated movie of all time. Acctually this movie has kind of a weiered hystory, you see the film was supposed to come out in 2002 but something happened and somehow someone stoll the films footage and it was cancelled and was announced it was gonna be realeced 10 years later in 2012 as it did. The animation in this is sooo bad that it isn't even forgivable for 1 dollar. And it had good casting but the animation and the writing was so terible that not even Christopher Lloyd couldn't make up for it. Any way ythat film is an abomination it doesn't diserve nothing if you have the chance DO NOT WATCH IT
Matthew Rapuano I cried of the amazement of this film. The animation is the most beautiful animation that I have ever seen. The story was so thrilling, I followed it all the way through, and thought it was very compelling. The characters are unbelievable, they are so likable and memorable, I will never forget their charm. The music is wonderful, and I will be seeing it so many more times in the future.What does sarcasm mean?
