The Adventures of Food Boy (2009)

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

An excellent motion picture that brilliantly captures the metaphysical quintessence of consciousness while simultaneously encouraging discourse about the controversial aspects of cultural relativism.

This movie is sooooooooooooooooooo bad it makes me never want to eat food again only water

The Adventures of Food Boy is a film that has quite literally changed my entire outlook on; love, life and ham sandwiches. Not quite as impressive as "Hobo with a shotgun", "The Toxic Avenger" or "Surfing Nazis Must Die" but it hardly seems fair to compare it against such lofty masterworks of cinema. So the premise. Ezra, a unpopular high school student believes that running for junior class president is his one way ticket to clunge-town and paving his way to a prestigious college, unfortunately much to Ezra's dismay, he gets hit hard by a heavy handed puberty metaphor and rather than growing a curly wig of hairs around his particulars he instead begins shooting bread from the palms of his hand! But he isn't limited to just bread, oh no! It transpires that he is able to create all manner of food stuffs from his body and thus begins Ezra's adventure as the titular food boy.So you are probably thinking that his adventures consist of globe trotting and solving the crippling food problems in third world countries or perhaps he dons a mask and fights crime firing peanuts from his finger tips at allergic bank robbers! Alas you are thinking far too small eager readers! No, Ezra uses his unique gift for personal gain, mystifying his peers with 'food magic', becoming a food fight dynamo and teaching his 40-something year old school bully a lesson in humility! To be fair to Ezra he does do a brief stint feeding the homeless in a soup kitchen but soon realised the futility of it all realising that they would much rather be given change to buy drugs or a can of special brew despite their protests that in an age of mobile phones that they only want it for bus fare or a pay phone. If I went any further into explaining the film then I would be spoiling the incredibly gripping and deep plot that the writers have sculpted as their very own modern day citizen Kane. The Adventures of Food Boy is a master piece coming of age film, set to become a modern day classic and a complete roller coaster.

One thing that drove me nuts! The actors are suppose to be high school students?! Garret looks like a 40 year old. I was waiting for something interesting to happen.. His coolness all has to do with shooting food from his hands. An it was all a bit pointless?! I can't say much with out adding a spoiler. Ugh. I don't think they really have one tho. It's just a really corny movie with old people that are suppose to betray high school students! His issue of not being able to control his magic food hands I guess is the issue? An debating if he should get with a girl! They want me to add ten lines and this story is so blank I can't think of that much to right! Any ways the girl is mad at him over something ridiculously silly! She thinks he's acting odd well DUH he's all of a sudden shooting food out of his hands! An yeah no one questions how or why he can do it? Really there isn't even a point on why he got them or how. I'm watching this right now and Garret trying to be a popular high school student makes me laugh! What was the directors thinking when they thought this would look normal? I see more background actors that look younger then the main!
