Synopsis

The television movie is set in the city of Dimmsdale and centers on the series' main protagonist Timmy Turner with his fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda and his fairy godbrother Poof. In the movie, Timmy is now 23 years old but is still in fifth grade with his fairy-obsessed fifth grade teacher Mr. Crocker. Despite being grown up, Timmy finds a loophole in the fairy rulebook Da Rules: if he continues to act like a kid, he will still get to keep his fairies. However, the dilemma rises when Tootie, who was once a dorky girl when she was 10 years old, returns to Dimmsdale as an attractive woman. Timmy falls in love with her, a sign that he is growing up to an adult, which means he is closer to losing his fairies. Meanwhile, an oil business tycoon named Hugh J. Magnate, Jr., who teams up with Mr. Crocker, plans to use Timmy's fairies' magic in order to promote his oil business.

Console best movie i've ever seen.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Rectangular_businessman "The Fairly OddParents" is a crappy cartoon and it shouldn't ever have a live-action adaptation. For some reason, the producers of this movie thought that it would be amusing to see a twenty-three-year-old man acting as a ten-year-old kid. Personally, I found that to be both creepy and depressing.Like most of the live-action adaptations of cartoons, this has a very ugly and unappealing visual style, with terrible CGI that doesn't combine well with the real action and actors dressed like cosplayers from a fan-made movie.The plot seem more like something borrowed from a fanfic, and it doesn't even make sense with the rest of the series (I know that "The Fairly OddParents" never cared that much about stuff like continuity and consistency with its own canon, but the ending of this movie is just ridiculous)What is the point of making live-action versions of cartoons anyway? Those movies are ugly, annoying and poorly made. If I were a fan of "The Fairly OddParents", what I would like to see is one animated movie from that show, instead of seeing Drake Bell doing a lame cosplay version of that series.The live-action movie versions of cartoons simply can't imitate their animated counterparts: Terrible films such as "Garfield", "Scooby Doo", "Alvin and the Chimpunks" and this one are enough proof of that.
bcamarda-1 I feel that as a once avid fan of the show and as a living breathing human being that this was the worst thing I've ever had the misfortune of sitting through. Even if the creators had attempted to make this watchable (which they did not), it would not have mattered in the slightest, because the very premise of Grow Up Timmy Turner is wrong. The Fairly Oddparents was NEVER meant to be live action, and anyone who saw The Last Airbender can attest to that.And this is without even mentioning the dialogue (which is atrocious even by kid TV standards), the characters (whose attributes in no way reflected those of the actual cartoon characters), and the complete miscasting of Drake Bell, Jason (George Costanza) Alexander, and Cheryl Hines.Even the defense that "it's just for kids" would be invalid because Nickelodeon has created some of television's best shows, shows that to this day I still remember fondly (Rugrats, SpongeBob, Rocket Power, Doug, Hey Arnold, and EVEN Fairly Oddparents!). Every person involved with this production should be ashamed of themselves for not only creating such dreck but for insulting the intelligence of every viewer ages 0 and up!
nightxangell I actually only heard about this live-action film maybe 2 or 3 days ago, and then managed to catch it on TV the next day right before it started. I was pretty skeptical of how it would turn out since turning a cartoon into a live-action film is incredibly risky and just wouldn't be the same, but since I had enjoyed the show so much back in middle school (I'm in college now) I though I'd give it a shot.You never really realize just how WEIRD cartoons are until you see what it would be like in real life. Pirate ships crashing through your bedroom and people moving at remarkably fast speeds (lol!) but I just found it to be SO funny and enjoyable! It just brought me back to a simpler time. It was very cool to see these animated characters come to life. Mom and dad, Mr. Crocker, Vicky and Tootie, the mayor and Chompy the goat. It was all great fun, and I was pretty impressed with how well a lot of them turned out. Casting Daran as Dad was a great move since he's the actor who voices him (along with Cosmo and Jorgan), and Mr. Crocker was just hilarious and a dead ringer for his cartoon counterpart.The plot line was childish and seemed a bit unusual for a live-action film, but you have to remember that this is all based off of a cartoon and it worked well for that particular show.All in all, I laughed a lot and it was fun to see all the characters I loved as a kid come to life. It brought a lot of nostalgia and I'd recommend it to any FOP fan with a good sense of humor who's up for a good laugh.
Gavin Cresswell (gavin-thelordofthefu-48-460297) I grew up watching the cartoon show and was expecting a live-action movie released in theaters, but instead it was released on TV and boy was I excited and I saw it last night when it premiered. I know it wasn't Toy Story 3, but it had the same message about growing up. Here's my opinion. The storyline had a few problems and the dialogue was kind of pathetic, but the moments in this movie were actually faithful since they had the same actors from the TV show (except Tara Strong for obvious reasons) and it was great to see the live-action Timmy and the rest of the characters. The acting was solid, the music was a lot of fun, and the action scenes were very good.A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up Timmy Turner isn't my favorite TV movie, but it is a very good one and it's definitely worth seeing.7/10
