(which can be streamed for free on livestream) is a computer-animated movie featuring Charlie Sheen, Hillary Duff, Eva Longoria, Wayne Brady, Christopher Loyd, and tons of other well-known comedic actors. After the lights are turned off each day in the supermarket it's set in, the supermarket transforms into a city inhabited by mascots for food products coming to life (think Toy Story at Ralphs). The movie also has an odd history, as the production company's computers were stolen in 2003, and numerous other delays set the release back until 2012. After failing to produce a film for those 10 years, the studio was forced to auction the movie off for only $2.5 million (despite an estimated budget of $65 million) to a European publisher that released the movie on DVD last year. And as you would expect in a submission for HDTGM, the movie is incredibly terrible in every way possible. Everything from a ridiculous plot with stilted dialog to the shoddy animation and voice acting, this movie is a big pile of turds. (h/t metafilter)

Fuck. This looks like someone made a "movie" with The Sims.

This absolutely needs to be reviewed! I watched it as a first date with my most recent ex, and the experience and subsequent trauma from viewing it formed the foundation of our relationship. It's no wonder we didn't work out. As mentioned by other people, the movie's entire premise is simply horrific. The animation visually assaults you for 91 minutes straight, and it's packed to the brim with misogyny, sexual overtones, racism, and fucking Nazi imagery/allusions (including calling the icons "ikes"?? YIKES!). All in a children's movie, FOR CHILDREN. Christ, from T to B this movie just makes no fucking sense. A fact worth mentioning: Foodfight! director/writer/producer/voice actor Lawrence Kasanoff, sporting a Tommy Wiseau level of credentials for this project, also wrote Mortal Kombat.

I agree with everyone else. Delgo should be first, but this should swiftly reviewed after that. This movie is INSANE.

This is a movie that was made for torture. I believe they use it to extract information from terrorist. It is so bad that there are no words that will really capture how bad it is. Want to go insane, watch this movie. Where did the $45 million go in the making of this? The Animation is poor, voice acting is sad (even though there were a lot of talented people behind it), and it nothing but product placements! Please review this film!!!

Did I mention there are Nazi's in this children's film? Does Timmy need an introduction to the wonderful world of Racist Slur, direct from the mouth of his most beloved Grocery Branding Mascot? This film is here for that exact necessity! Have you ever wondered if Sunshine Goodness is a size queen? Well your five-yearold probably has.

This one needs resurrected. It's a child's animated film...ostensibly, about the secret life within your grocery store. You know, that place your kid can't get enough of. It's murder on the eyes. It would be notable for simply how bad the CGI is alone...but the producers did not hang their laurels there. It's uncomfortably sexual, and overtly racist. Did I mention that this film makes no sense? These are all the components of beloved HDTGM movies. Every facet of it is incomprehensible. Someone with some sense destroyed the working assets for the film along the line, and it failed to make it's 2003 release. This did not dissuade Lawrence Kasanoff from spending the next NINE YEARS, attempting to recover and recreate the magic of this film that someone risked their career to mercy kill.

I watched this last night. Actually I watched the first 25 minutes. Then we fast-forwarded 5 minutes at a time to see what terrible, monstrous things were happening because this movie made me physically uncomfortable. Weird sexual elements, Nazi-similarities, flat-voiced dialogue, racist depictions of characters, and HORRIFYING ANIMATION STYLE. It's like someone filmed themselves playing Second Life and then added dialogue. Also, here is one cover: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d4/Foodfight!_DVD_cover.jpg And here is what it actually looks like: http://www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/foodfight-big-580x453.jpg That is the most misleading DVD cover ever.

Wow. I can't believe this exists. I think The Onion AV review of Foodfight! kind of says it all,

Oh god, I forgot a horrific part. So the villains are clearly Nazis. They want to get rid of all the brand name food icon characters. "Send them to the expiration station!" the head Nazi orders. What do they call the food icons? "Ikes" ...."ikes" What does that rhyme with? Sending "ikes" to the "expiration station". THIS WAS A CHILDREN'S MOVIE! As a warm up to the literal holocaust, you get the black sidekick bragging that he's going to give one big titted woman a chocolate frosting facial, and bragging to another big titted woman about cumming in her mouth. This is on top of the Charlie Sheen dog talking about how to clean out bodily fluid stains to another big titted woman, right after yet another big titted woman teased him for being after her "raisins". End credits? A bird tries to get it on with a big titted penguin but freaks out when he can't get it up.

Sounds like Roscoe: http://www.last.fm/music/Being+Mean+to+Pixley/I+Heart+Cheez-Its/I+Hate+Your+Dog

Yeah, merge 'em up!

I'm pretty sure there's another thread for this around here somewhere...

It's a computer animated movie about actual food mascots who come to life at night. It has Charlie Sheen, Hillary Duff, and Larry Miller. It was so godawful that it was officially released in England before dying a coward's death. Here's Nathan Rabin's review. ps it's HIDEOUS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uROQ9nplxIY

What do Charlie Sheen, Hilary Duff, Christopher Lloyd, Wayne Brady, Charlie Tuna, the California Raisins, and a talking Twinkie have in common? Foodfight! A movie filled with sexual innuendo, Nazi'ism, and some of the worst 'animation' in years. The film was originally set for release in December 2003 then it was set for release in fall 2005 and finally spring 2009 which it never was released on. In September 2011, with the film still unreleased, bondholders forced the sale of the movie at auction - opening bid was set at $2.5 million. Finally released February of this year. This is bonkers.

My favorite thing about really shitty animated movies is imagining the actors' reactions when they see the finished product. Because they likely had NO idea it was going to look like this. I'm sure they were all in those recording booths thinking they're lending their voices to a Pixar/Dreamworks level production. Then it turns out to be this hideous garbage.

This would be great. I have, for a while now, wanted HDTGM to do an animated movie. Here's the trailer, though despite me posting this I'm gonna recommend you not watch it. For your own sanity.

I was going to suggest this movie if it hadn't already been. This is a "what were they thinking" kind of movie. It's hard to believe that this actually got made. Who the hell is this movie supposed to be geared to? Worse than Manos:The Hands of Fate. Must be seen to be believed.

I posted this very same suggestion on the Facebook page, before realizing it had already been posted here in the forum. This movie would be PERFECT.

This or Delgo, please.

The trailer is like watching a shitty PS1 game, I can't believe THAT cost 65 million.

Definately watch the film, OP linked to the 24 hour livestream of it so it can be accessed by anyone. It is completely fucking insane and a failure on every single level. While watching it I could hear Jason's voice in my head saying "THIS MOVIE MAKES NO SENSE"

Aside from The Smurfs (R.I.P.), have they done an animated wreck yet? Either this or Delgo. But probably this, because eeeeeugh! And yes, Rabin's piece on this was pretty monumental.

I assume the sudden interest is based on My World of Flops covering this movie. Rightfully so. (You know a movie is completely misguided when Nathan Rabin takes two pages to talk about it, and only starts describing the actual plot of it halfway in.) For what it's worth, I watched the trailer out of morbid curiosity a while ago. I barely remember the awful animation, but that's only because the trailer decided the best way to sell a kid's movie was to set it to a parody of "Copacabana." "At the Copa, Copabanana..." I watched it last summer and it's still stuck in my head. Help!

Came here to post this suggestion as well. This is the perfect movie for HDTGM!
