Fun Size is run around town teenager movie that creates trouble for our heroin around every corner. The story starts with Wren, played by Victoria Justice, having to change her Halloween plans and babysit her brother because her mother, played by Chelsea Handler, has a date. Albert is a disturbed little boy because his father died a few months before the story takes place and this is the first Halloween that Albert and his father won't be together. That's why Wren has to babysit this year. The challenges start when Albert gets lost in a flood of Trick or Treaters. Wren must find Albert and return home before her mother returns from her party and that is much more difficult then the group can imagine. Albert has some fun crazy adventures for a little kid and he loves his pranks. This movie is about friendships, relationships, life changes, family bonds and growing up. I understand the PG 13 ratings as there are inappropriate parts for us little kids but I don't know what they are. There were a couple of times mom covered my eyes but I did hear some questionable language and I didn't think you could drink alcohol until you were 21. Our foursome of Wren, Peng, April and Roosevelt are continually hounded by the Hulk and Julies Caesar until the showdown at the chicken shack. I know I'm only 7 but even I know that you don't bring a drumstick to a gun fight. My favorite part was the end of the movie with Albert. I also really enjoyed the costumes. They were colorful, creative and gave me some great ideas for Halloween this year. So if you're still undecided about what you are going to do this year you might accidentally stumble across that next really great costume idea. While you are at it grab some popcorn and a soda and a couple of Fun Size candy bars because you preens and teens will enjoy this movie. Little kids and adults probably won't like this as much. I think the cast really worked well together and their characters were believable even if all of the situations they are in were not. The age range is 11 and up. I give it 4 out of 5 twinkling stars. Fun Size will be in theaters October 26. Morgan Bertsch, age 7, KIDS FIRST! Film Critic.
