User blog:MrAwesome300/Nicky Deuce Movie Review

Hey Moviepedia! I'm MrAwesome, and I review movies in video form and on the movie reviewing site Flixster. A good friend of mine named Laboratory Tuxedo asked me to review the wretched Nickelodeon TV movie "Nicky Deuce", starring iCarly star Noah Munck as a mobster in training, even packed with former stars from ''The Sopranos. ''Nickelodeon usually makes some unfunny yet kid-friendly TV movies from time to time, and this is just the same thing you'll always see. Just some slapstick here and there, some unfunny sequences here and there- some action sequences that are in no way exciting, even. So let's see why Nicky Deuce is more of a Nicky Douche.

Nicholas Borelli is a nerd whose summer is being spent at a summer camp with some ridiculous name, but there's a change of plans: a big explosion occurred and now the camp has been cancelled, and with Nicholas' parents going off, they have no other choice than to send him to his stereotypically Italian Uncle Frankie. Now, he's off to become a gangster in training, even meeting stereotypical mobsters with goofy names like "Bobby Eggs". Knowing this is a movie targeted for the pre-teen demographic, we have to add some friends for Nicky who don't have any personality whatsoever- Donna and Tommy.

So, as we can see, it's not looking too swell. In fact, here's an example of some of the unfunny scenes: one of the scenes in the first ten minutes has Uncle Frankie sitting in the bathtub. Nicky comes in, and then Uncle Frankie tells him to give him a hug...in the shower. Suddenly, he scolds Nicky for hugging him in the bath. The movie is far worse than that.

Maybe I'm going a bit hard on it, but Nicky Deuce is nowhere near good. It's better than other Nickelodeon films like the Roxy Hunter series and 2011's Rags, but even if it's targeted for pre-teens, the directors and writers can't act like they think kids will find anything funny. If you're making a movie, you should take it seriously, try to make it actually funny. Treat it like it's an actual movie in the theaters.

If anybody from Nicky Deuce is reading this, I'm not saying your movie was horrible. In fact, it's a LOT better than the majority of other Nickelodeon films, and I actually enjoyed some of Noah Munck's sequences. The storyline is creative, and a little bold for the kids demographic! But it still has a lot of flaws here and there, but that's just my opinion.

Thanks for reading, and maybe I may do another review sometime. MrAwesome, signing out.

What did you think of Nicky Deuce? It was hilarious! I loved it! It wasn't funny at all. Two thumbs down. It was plain alright.
