Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

t-13196 This movie is sooooooooooooooooooo bad it makes me never want to eat food again only water

benjaminweber At first I thought I was watching some weird fetish film. For the first twenty or so minutes, the only food-related actions Ezra performs are consuming things in front of an audience, and sometimes regurgitating them to an inevitable audience reaction. Fortunately we soon get to the 'meat' of the film, and it is laughable. Imagine if Peter Parker had been bitten by a radioactive sandwich. This is what a great deal of his power looks like, including one shot of a slice of bread miraculously levitating from the palm of his hand. If you thought Avatar was a visual treat, just wait until you see this beauty!What else is there to say? The sets during the historical flashbacks look like they were already rejected from the community theatre, there aren't enough food-related puns, mainly just slapstick, and some of the actors are truly awful (looking at you, incoherently yelling golf coach). The final message seems to be not to pursue your ambitious dreams should life quite literally give you lemons.In conclusion, you will get what was advertised: a film about food oozing from the hands of a teenager.

autumnp-03148 I went into this movie thinking it was a spin-off of High School Musical (because hello Ryan), but it was so much more magical and pleasing than I had ever hoped for - take that Sharpay. Troy and Gabriella could never top the cinematic gift that "The Adventure of Food Boy" offers. Perhaps my favorite part of the film is where Ezra farts pastrami out of his hands during his campaign speech and runs to the bathroom in an uncontrollable panic as the meat, bread, and mustard force their way out of his body. The sound effects here are key to the success of the overall film in my personal opinion. My second favorite scene is during the talent show where Ezra attempts to make watermelon appear. However, his body becomes too weak to produce such a large fruit and instead, he squirts plain old water from his hands with the force of 10 fire hoses. The stage and his love interest become soaked, causing her to slip and sprain her ankle before her upcoming cross country meet which causes their confusing relationship to get even more complicated. The most frustrating part of the film is the fact that Ezra didn't appreciate his powerful gift. If I had the gift to make food and drink appear from my hands, I would A: weigh about 732 pounds and B: I build the stamina to solve world hunger but noooo. Poor little Ezra just wants to get into the Ivey League for personal gain. At first, he views his power as a curse. It isn't until later that he realizes he has been blessed with a gift. However, even then, he only uses it for personal gain and attention from his peers. Also where the heck are his parents? His grandma and grandpa must have their hands full, not only with food group one (legumes), but also with typical teenage mischief. I feel like they are too old to be dealing with Ezra and his selfish pettiness.Although I would have taken some of the plot in a different direction, I was seriously shocked when I got to the credits and realized that Spielberg wasn't the director. This film is pure genius. I think the sequel should include all of the characters from this film, all of the characters from "High School Musical", and all of the characters from "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". That movie will be on the top of the charts faster than the popcorn will be able to pop.

haydonpalmerbpc 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.
