Protraph Lack of good storyline.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Leofwine_draca The presence of about ten scriptwriters should have warned me just how bad this remake of a '80s-era slasher would be. That, and the name of the directors, The Butcher Brothers. If that doesn't say it all then I don't know what does.APRIL FOOL'S DAY is an appalling film, so cringeworthy, so awful that I can barely believe it exists. The script is awful, mind-numbingly bad and with no discernible wit, skill or intelligence present at any spot in the narrative. The actors are equally terrible, delivering their lines in a stilted way reminiscent of automatons. Watching the end result, I can't help but liken this to a particularly poor episode of BEVERLEY HILLS 90210.Horror fans should look elsewhere, too. There's plenty of full-blooded horror on offer in cinemas today, and this is anything but. The various kill scenes are silly indeed and the movie reaches a real nadir when it comes to the big twist at the climax, which is the most ridiculous, SCOOBY DOO-type thing I've ever seen. Please, please do yourself a favour and avoid this movie like the plague.

insomniac_rod Was I watching an episode of "Gossip Girl"?. Should I feel cheated with a plot that steals the "best" from "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Cruel Intentions"?.Was this in the first place a Horror movie? The truth is that this remake is amongst the worst Horror movies of the 21th century. Expect a plot filled with teenager oriented situations, stupid decisions, dialogs, weak direction, lame acting, terrible motives for suspense, and worst of all, the fake gore.To be honest, I just kept watching because of Taylor Cole and Scout Taylor-Compton. Mrs. Cole displays the hottest legs I've seen in a while. I thank her for wearing mini skirts and dresses. Plus her body is completely hot. Mrs. Taylor-Compton is a very nice actress. Too bad she couldn't save the day.The so called surprise ending is an offense for experienced Horror fans overall. Plase rent the original instead of spending money on this crap.Think about a soap opera for teens mixed with "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Cruel Intentions".

homecoming8 This movie has nothing in common with the original "April Fool's Day" from 1986. The story is taken directly from "Prom Night" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (without any imagination). "Prom Night" also had a remake last year, and not a good one either. So no original story, what about the gore, because after all, it is supposed to be a slasher. Well, again disappointment. It all has the look of a PG-13 movie and that is actually the case here. No thrills, no excitement, and the story has been done way too many times. Although the acting isn't bad, the worst thing has yet to come: the so called "surprising ending" with a twist you did not see coming !! Yeah, right... this was so lame and poorly executed, a complete waste of time. If you did not see that one coming, you must have been asleep during the whole story. I didn't expect much to begin with, but this is below all standards. Watch the 1986 version instead. Or "I Know what you did", but forget this one.

Bill357 I don't know who the Butcher Brothers are but I suggest they quit making films and go back to making hamburger in the back room at Kroger!I mean this movie was bad! All the characters in this movie were worthless spoiled rotten brats and highly irritating, stereotypes all. I think I sprained my eyes from rolling them so much.All the stars of this junk looked like they were cast using rejected audition tapes stolen from the dumpster outside of the MTV studios.This movie is about as suspenseful as an episode of Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood and only about half as entertaining.I make a lot of fun of horror movies being made nowadays to satisfy fourteen year old girls. This is no exception but I seriously doubt fourteen year old girls could handle sitting through this crap!
