FREDI was a cute family friendly kids film with some sci-fi thrown into the adventure.
It is a nice movie for kids to watch by themselves, with their parents and with their grandparents. Which is actually quite refreshing. I watched this and was pleasantly taken back to the era of Goonies, ET, and good old fashioned fun and adventure. It also reminded me of the old Disney kid films like Herbie the Love Bug, and Escape from Witch Mountain.
The cinematography was great, it really showcased some beautiful landscapes. The musical score was great as well as pace of the movie. It was a nice amount of continuous action that kept me interested from start to finish.
Sure, I can find things that could have been better or done differently, but I'm not going to let it detract from the enjoyment of watching something that kids could enjoy. I'm in my 50's, remember what it was like to be a kid...FREDI was just that, it was a cute kids movie.
So for all those who gave this negative reviews...it is a kids film, like Trix, this movie is for kids...and parents are allowed to like it too.
