Though I am probably one of the last people to finally get around to see this movie, I still plan on making a very long and very DETAILED review of this so for those of you who don't like long posts, might want to ignore this. That was without a doubt the most AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, PHENOMENAL, OUTSTANDING, FANTASTIC, STUPENDOUS Fosters episode I have EVER seen!!!
Too long has Fosters been devoid of in the CN line up and much like the Teen Titans series, it felt lost and gone until the movie showed up and breathed new life back into people's interest in it. This movie is incredible and a thousand times superior (in my opinion) to "Good Wilt Hunting" because it basically answered the prayers of countless of Fosters fans on this board in 1 word: Frankie.
Perhaps its naive of me to think this but this whole episode felt like Craig and the creators were catering to my every whim, and by "my" I mean me as in fans, as in things fans always wanted to see and this movie just screamed it. Frankie as the center, she was appreciated and thanked for her job, she got break time, attention and love and it was everything I had been waiting to see.
On top of that, this movie was incredibly (if you pardon the obvious pun) imaginative. The level of creativity and imagination here was astounding. From the awesome Super Mario Bros. level, to the unique visuals and weird creatures, to the absolutely ingenious concept of a villain like the Face chest kid. Plus, it was funny and Bloo finally acted less like an ass and more like he should have been acting.
It was seriously compelling, seriously! I haven't been gripping my chair and biting my fingernails for a show or movie in a while, I was really anxious and worried to see what would happen next. I was heartbroken when Frankie felt Mac and the others only wanted her back simply for chores, and the fact they didn't patch that up clearly on screen would be my only minor complaint.
However, seeing Herriman thank Frankie and her adoring affections towards Mac and the others and finally seeing her get the chance to be the center of attention and get physically/emotionally appreciated. Honestly though, I can't believe NO ONE ever thought of having the other IFs do the work before, Frankie fan boyness set aside, I'm surprised it never came up before.
All in all, I can't freaking say enough about this episode to express in insanely giddiness and supreme happiness that the sweetest, hardest working animated red headed beauty finally got her moment in the sun and that it was fun and brilliantly written to boot. Fosters ended with a spectacular bang (if this is its final act) and it was the best way they could go out on.
Many thanks and many hats off to you Craig, this movie was a dream come true that needed to be said for a long time now.
Frankie Foster, you just got the best Christmas present of all and so did we! YOU!
