God, why have you forsaken me?
Monolight9 June 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Fred 1: Very bad.

Fred 2: A little better but far from good.

Fred 3: Camp Fred: Abysmal. Torture from start to finish.

Wow. I mean WOW. I'm sorry, but everyone who was involved in production of this movie and their families should be arrested for crimes against entertainment. I don't even know where to start.

The characters are not themselves. Not that I'm saying there were any actual characters to begin with, but in this movie everyone is noticeably different. The mom turned into an annoying valley girl parody, the best friend disappears after 60 seconds of screen time, the bully went back to who he was during the first movie. None of the actors have any idea about comedic timing or intonation. And we get several new stereotypes as Fred goes to camp for summer. The camp's "hilarious" name "Iwannapeepee" is the comedic high of the movie (and frankly the bubonic plague was funnier) so you know what to expect from everything else. Fred this time is the only main cast member, which makes matters even worse.

The story this time is as generic as it gets. Fred goes to camp he doesn't like. He meets friends he doesn't like. There will be a competition with another camp that "Iwannapeepee" hasn't won in 69 years. Yes, even a 5 year old can see where all of this is going.

Fred's voice in this one is especially annoying. It's like a thousand fingernails scratching a thousand blackboards, during two active fire alarms at a vuvuzela concert. I don't know how my ears didn't bleed. My soul sure did.

This abomination shouldn't be seen by anyone. This is the bottom of the barrel, end of the road, nightmare. Frankly, a colonoscopy would be more entertaining.

Why was this dreck even made?
tomdaly-1743615 August 2018
You'd think after two Fred movies and a sitcom, Nickelodeon would cool it a little bit with Lucas Cruickshank's screaming teenage character. But no! We get this monstrosity! Basically Fred goes to this summer camp that's struggling. That's it. I swear, every time you watch Fred run around and listen to his aggravating voice, you wish for Jason from Friday the 13th to jump out of the TV and finish you off already! Thank god that this was the last movie in the Fred trilogy, and Lucas eventually retired Fred for good.

One camp that you'd want to stay well clear of
TheLittleSongbird25 August 2013
The first Fred movie is one of the worst movies ever made, while Fred 2 is a marginal improvement- and is still the best of the three movies- but still very bad. Fred 3: Camp 3 is on the same level as the first and manages to almost be even worse, and this is coming from someone who had low expectations already. The movie visually never rises above bad TV show quality, with gaudy sets and very simplistic camera-work, and just as badly made as the Friedberg-Seltzer movies. The music is no better either, there are musical numbers that are mind-numbingly cheesy as well as out of place and irrelevant and there is nothing interesting or memorable about it generally. The story is practically non-existent and often feels like a predictable, badly-written parody. The writing and jokes are lazy, painfully unfunny and immature, the name of the camp is the closest the movie gets to induce a strained smile. The characters are obnoxious and stupid, as well as cardboard stereotypes. Fred is without a doubt down there as one of the most unbearably annoying characters ever committed to movie celluloid. And the acting is terrible, consisting of either people over-compensated or looking and sounding embarrassed. Siobhan Fallon and John Cena have little to do with badly written characters, while Lucas Cruishank shows no acting talent whatsoever, and personally there is yet to be a voice for any actor and movie so painful to hear that it literally splits the ear-drums than Cruishank's Fred. To conclude, every bit as bad as the other two and is this close to be worse than the first. This is one camp that you'd want to stay well clear from, otherwise you'll be living a nightmare if you had a camp name like that and to have people behave the way they do here. 1/10 Bethany Cox

This movie is just downright awful
BearCoff19 November 2018
I've watched this movie once when a friend told me to, but it was a complete waste of time and it was just awful.

The plot is horrible, the jokes are awful, I mean, only immature 5-year olds would even smile during this movie. I probably lost 1,000 brain cells to this godawful movie. Camp Iwannapeepee? More like Camp Iwannaneverwatchthisagain.

Lucas Cruickshank's attempt to establish himself as the king of bad, obnoxious, irritating and worst actors of all time
bellino-angelo201425 January 2019
As someone would have guessed I am not only a bad movie fan, but also a fan of bad actors and actresses. Some performances are painful to sit through, some are very stiff, some are very laughable. But unlike the majority of these bad actors-actresses Lucas Cruickshank decides that he can be MUCH more obnoxious, talentless and irritating than all those... and he succedds.

The plot is about Fred Figglehorn, a super-stupid, loathsome and talentless 16 year old that hopes to go to the summer camp of his dreams. But instead he ends in another summer camp, and here the movie becomes very disturbing. If you SEE this film you will have the magnificently glorious opportunity of seeing a horse with three legs, Fred's nightmare where his body parts are served in the canteen (a sight so gross that I nearly throw up), a scene where Fred has to send a letter to her mom and for sending her the letter he puts a slingshot between two trees and lets a poor cat (with the letter on his collar) flying with the slingshot (man isn't this animal abuse or not??????????), Fred that doesn't want to go to the camp and shrieks like a 1-year old (a scream so horrid that I seriously wanted to gouge my eardrums for stopping hearing him), and a monster called ''crockabearamosse'' that in a scene chops Fred's head away. The problem is not only that the movie is 100% unfunny and painful to sit through, but also that the main character is not even likeable or endearing in the least. It's just a dreadful and worthless movie... and I am sure that even small kids who think that THE SIMPSONS and FAMILY GUY are far too smart will find this movie boring.

However, I can enjoy a movie with a dumb character as the lead, so I don't expect a masterpiece when I want to see a movie for laughs. One of the worst movies I have ever seen and it made me hate everything about Cruickshank... EVERYTHING. I also am seriously worried about the poor persons that love this tasteless and gross disaster of a movie... since it apparently tells us that animal abuse and violence are funny. An incredibly unpleasant movie in every single aspect.

The worst movie I have ever seen
aaaronhamilton18 January 2018
I didn't think it was possible, but they did it. Each movie in the Fred trilogy somehow tops the other in how mind-boggling awful it can be. We're not here to talk about the other two movies, though. We are here to talk about what is, in my opinion, the worst of the three. Let's start with the obvious: it is an entire movie about an adolescent boy with a chipmunk voice, doing stupid things, messing up, and screaming. If you can't watch the first minute of the movie without getting a headache, then you aren't going to have a very good time, to put it lightly. All of the "jokes" end up falling flat on their face. At least the previous two movies each made me laugh once! The supporting characters are all extremely generic and uninteresting. The plot is non-existent, and jumps around all over the place. One minute Fred is creating a theory for why people in the camp are getting sick, and the next minute he is in a team competing with another camp. The editing and cinematography are both awful. Multiple scenes have Fred suddenly jumping around the screen for no reason while he is talking. Finally, the movie is extremely boring. The only possibly(?) good thing this movie has going is that John Cena makes a very, very short appearance, and that isn't saying barely anything. I'm pretty sure the actor and creator of Fred once said that he wished this movie never existed, and I agree with him!

The LEAST BAD of the Trilogy
Thephillips202017 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Fred: An atrocity made to torture millions of innocent people, I consider it an act of terrorism Fred 2: Even WORSE than Fred 1, It's probably a War crime that even Al-Qaeda wouldn't commit Fred 3: A movie with a bit less screaming, only One scene of John Cena at gunpoint, and...It's actually not as bad as Fred 1...and certainly better than Fred 2

Let's get to the story, Fred throws a baby fit over being sent to a different camp then the one he wanted, so if you didn't smash your brain with a sledgehammer, The camp is called Iwannapeepee...This should've been called Fred 3: Golden-Yeah the joke is over Unlike the other movies, This has the smallest ammount of pointless scenes that exist to Prolong the torture, and there's...some sort of...Character Development with the Rat Hole Kids, and a PLOT, Unlike Fred 1 stalking a girl to Kill her and Fred 2 that's nothing but SCREAMING THAT MAKES YOU RUPTURE YOUR EARDRUMS WITH A DRUMSTICK Then...The Crockabearamoose, making Fred Rap, which is actual torture that even Satan wouldn't use Then turns out Kevin is in the camp Fred wanted to go to so Their camps have a contest, Do things, then sing a song about being the worse like he knows this movie will forever damage his career, THE END, THANK GOD I had to watch all Three of these, and since Fred 2 wasn't Free on Youtube, I had to pay Money for it, I hope anyone who says this is good goes through every layer of hell

Best movie ever made
mysteryanonymous8 August 2020
Not really sure what these blokes are on about calling this a bad movie. It's the best film out there. This film is up there with Citizen Kane and Casablanca as one of the best films ever. Lucas Cruikshank did a perfect job with the role. I dare you to find me a better film than Fred 3: Camp Fred. You can watch if for free on YouTube, which is great. Overall 10/10. Will be watching for the 394th time soon.

Stupid Fun
GravityLoudHouseLover127 December 2021
Fred 3: Camp Fred is 2012 Nickelodeon TV Movie That Aired on The Network on July 28, 2012. I Have a Soft spot for these Fred Movies I Know There not the best but they are so Stupid It's Funny. Anyway The Movie is about Fred thinking he's going to Camp Superior but His Mom Signed Him for Camp IWanttopeepee. This Movie like all the Fred TV Movies has Pointless Scenes & Stupid jokes but it's Enjoyable. It's also Stared Tom Arnold as Floyd Spunkmeyer & John Cena as Himself. Anyway this Movie is Stupid Fun. 6/10.

This movie is absolute trash
jacket_slut199821 August 2022
Literally what is this movie? Why does it exist? It seems like it was written by literal 2 years. I watched it the other day with my little brother and now I want to sue. Watch this movie is literally one of my regrets. Do not recommend.

surprisingly OK movie.
coolandawesome9929 July 2012
Warning: Spoilers
I loved the original Fred videos and the icarly episode and i find Fred the movie but i thought the second one was not as good and i just recently watched the third installment to be ..........better than the first and second.It beggins with Fred whining and that was way to annoying and that is probably would be when most people shut off the movie or change the channel to cartoon network , Disney channel or syfy channel or something like that but if turned off the movie you will miss a pretty good movie i recamend that you don't buy the DVD because you would most likely get really mad for buying a $20.00 DVD like this but if you find it on nickelodeon while surfing channels i suggest you give it a watch. It might surprise you.

Slightly Underwhelming
xxlukeDo3sreviewzxx11 November 2020
After the cinematic masterpiece that was Fred 2 I was extremely excited for this movie. Me and my daughter gathered to watch it and even invited some friends round for this monumental occasion. With his dashing good looks and incredible comedic ability this was always going to be a good movie but it does not live up to the great standards of Fred 2. Still definitely worth a watch but don't expect a masterpiece.

Actually surprisingly good!
After the first two movies, we all gave up when we heard about the third. We all expected the same jokes and the same side characters, But this movie actually is enjoyable! Its that kind of movie that you can watch whenever you bored. Considering I'm a 15 year old, you would think i hate it. But i enjoyed the jokes and puns used throughout the movie. The plot is 'ok' , other than the fact that its very cliché. Its also a very predictable movie, but it still keeps you giggling. The only people who will hate this movie are the people who hate either Fred or high pitched people. Growing up watching Fred (lucas Cruikshank) on you tube, i have grown to enjoy his videos, thusly enjoying this movie! I recommend it to everyone. Don't judge this movie by its title.

Fred rules in Camp I wanna Pee Pee i n this Fred movie!!!
cureariel15 March 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I love this Fred movie!!! Why? I love Fred screaming in the bus on the way to the camp! It's so hilarious i can't even stop laughing at that scene!

I also like his bunkmates working together to defeat Camp Superior, which is led by Kevin, Fred's childhood enemy.

Anyways, Summary Time!!!

Schools out and Fred's dreams of water slides, Clydes dales and waffle bars turn to nightmares of gruel and poisonous berries when his mom signs him up to the wrong camp!

This is movie is better than The first Fred movies!! it gives me more memorable named characters, and even Fred's awesome screams in the bus.

I would recommend this movie a watch for all Fred fans!! YAY!!!

Good Turn Your Brain Off Comedy
smooth_op_852 March 2021
Yes, it's a bit overboard, it's not entirely good, but I have to say maybe it's nostalgia and some timeless humor, but I actually liked this film

Fred thinks he's going to Camp Superior with Monkey Butlers, at a camp that is the BEST...but he gets into Camp Iwannapeepee because...it's far less expensive

The food sucks, Fred's imagination gets the better of him, and there's a competition against...DUN DUN DUN Camp Superior!

For me, it's a weird Fred world and a crazy camp but if you want to turn your brain off and enjoy some good wholesome, fun comedy, this is a nice offering

Greatest trilogy ever made
jdbbb28 November 2018
This is the perfect way to end off a trilogy. You may of heard of the lord of the rings trilogy that is nothing compared to this behemoth of movies. Everything about these movies are perfect I find no fault in them. And this is the perfect way to end it. Fred's unforgettable dialogue IS SOMETHING TO BEHOLD. John Cena Joins in on action once again. A truly underrated movie and trilogy.

Yes this is a dumb movie but
catrine-488454 September 2023
My kids love this . When I first started watching the movie I was wondering why he was talking so funny if that was his real voice? I actually found it very funny in some parts even though it's kind of stupid .very goofy but kids will love this. I believe he had a YouTube and Nickelodeon deal starring Fred figglehorn? Yes, it's very silly and I can understand the poor reviews. This is the third movie that was made so apparently some people did enjoy this. Even John Cena makes an appearance and plays Fred's father.

To summit up ,kids are going to enjoy this and adults are going to find it very irritating. His high-pitched voice , even the bullying will be annoying but, it's a movie for young kids and take it for what it's worth. I actually enjoyed it and Fred was pretty funny.

INCREDIBLE
A cinematic masterpiece. From start to finish, I was dazzled by the beautiful cinematography, coupled with the fantastical acting. This is one for the books. Truly a film to remember.
