From the creator of the YouTube Doki trilogy comes this awful mess of a film
Cobalt410124 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
References from the likes of Fortnite, davemadson and GoAnimate, flaws within the film such as missing lip-sync and the somewhat below average quality of the voice lines - the creator voices around half, if not the majority of the characters, using a voice changer software. Talk about "effort" right there. Speaking of unoriginal, throughout the film (especially in the earlier parts) you can see copyrighted characters (Sylvester, courtesy of Warner Bros) and the Arctic Dogs, courtesy of Entertainment Studios, Inc, and Nature Cat, courtesy of 9 Story Media Group being examples.) and trademarks (Braces, ripoff of Acer and Hell, a blatant ripoff of Dell.). Just look at the the film credits, then you'll see it all. Most of the props in the film are ripped straight from GoAnimate, adding to the abysmal unoriginality of the film

This movie just seems off when you look at it, it has this flat, kind of a somewhat unsettling feeling to it. The poor 2D animation combined with the hoary voice acting and overall low effort in the film just ruins the experience.

Infact, this review is coming from someone who worked on post-production for the film, and looking back at it, the review can explain for itself. I can't be bothered going through it all again

Thank you all for reading, and god speed -Cobalt

Jesus Christ why is this a thing
scgyt2 October 2021
This isn't a film, this is an embarrassment. The animation looks like something from a 4th grader, no music at all, multiple stolen characters, less of a plot than watching grass grow, cringeworthy references, and suggestive characters. This is a joke to everything considered a film. NEVER watch this.

Worst. Film. Ever.
kebzp18 February 2021
The plot of the film was nothing but nonsense. I don't even know why I watched this film to begin with.

Character development - Awful; No music in the film - Disgraceful; References - Stolen;

If I were you, Dan P. Lyons, I'd be original for once because some of the characters are copyrighted!

P.S. I don't want a sequel for this film; this film is nonsensical.

terrible
dactonentertainment11 May 2021
When I first saw this movie, I thought this was good but that praise turned to hate after a few rewatches. Oh my god Dan, Darren, Alex, you monsters. This isn't a film but a dumper fire. Lazy plot, lazy characters with no real introduction, stolen plot lines, I can't hear what some of the voice actors are saying most of the time, and this film is garbage. Please avoid this film at all cost but if you wanna watch this, then do it at your own risk. Promise me, your insanity will be better off not watching this.

Where do I start with this piece of crap.
SamAWebster24 June 2021
I don't know what to say about this movie, but all I have to say is everything about this movie is horrible, so horrible that I can't even name one thing I hate about it, except for the extremely suggestive characters. Again, this movie is horrible, and I really regret working on this movie. Trust me. You don't want to watch it.

That's all I, Sam A. Webster, have to say on this one.

I regret it, I totally had enough of this.
doratom8 March 2022
I've seen some of a part of this movie, and I just see something awful like the animation and copied sounds in this movie, which is awful. I used to being partially involved for this movie but when I found out the creators' true colors and all of the dramas they had, I've never being stick with anything like The Rodfellows or The Jungle Forest Gang ever again. I can't watch it right now.

This isn't a movie.
leemaccloudyreturns10 February 2022
The animation looks like some 8 year old tried to recreate a Homestar Runner short, some characters have unusually large bellies (due to the creator seriously having a belly fetish), the references are cringeworthy, the design of Jimmy and Widenar are straight PaRappa ripoffs, and lastly, the ceremony scene takes too long to end. Did I forget to mention that the songs are also cringeworthy?

Review of the Rodfellows Movie (2020)

The Rodfellows Movie is a 2020 animated film based on the popular web series created by Rodney16. The film follows the adventures of Rodney, his brother Andy, and their friends as they try to save their town from an evil corporation. The film is a mix of comedy, action, and musical numbers, featuring original songs by Rodney16 and other artists.

The film is a fun and entertaining ride for fans of the web series and newcomers alike. The animation is colorful and expressive, capturing the quirky charm of the characters and the settings. The voice acting is also well-done, with Rodney16 himself voicing Rodney and Andy, and other familiar voices from the web series reprising their roles. The humor is witty and clever, with references to pop culture, internet memes, and the web series itself. The action scenes are exciting and fast-paced, with creative use of gadgets and vehicles. The musical numbers are catchy and memorable, with lyrics that fit the mood and personality of each character.

The film is not without its flaws, however. The plot is rather thin and predictable, with some clichés and contrivances along the way. The villain is not very menacing or interesting, and his motivation is vague and unclear. The film also relies too much on fan service and nostalgia, which may alienate some viewers who are not familiar with the web series or its history. The film could have benefited from more originality and depth in its story and characters.

Overall, The Rodfellows Movie is a enjoyable and lighthearted film that pays tribute to the web series that inspired it. It may not be a masterpiece of animation or storytelling, but it is a fun and satisfying watch for fans of Rodney16 and his creations.

Great for older kids and adults, but boring for young children
demontelavon27 November 2020
First, let me list what is good about the film. The story is engaging, the characters are fun and loveable, the voice acting is decent, and the film is very good visually. It's colorful, has bouncy animation, and a unique style.

Now, I will list what is bad. At some points, the music overpowers the dialogue and you can't hear what the characters are saying. Also, the music seems out of place mainly because it is not original score. I also noticed that most, if not all voice talent had potato microphones.

Overall, this movie is very flawed but is enjoyable nontheless.

Cheap Movie Ever!
TOGandDR0128 April 2022
The 2D animated film was nothing but cheaper. As mentioned, I regretted being credited to the movie without my permission. It is just plagiarism to the Bedfellows, and all characters' designs are very generic. The movie script is very nonsense and of terrible quality.

actually one of the worst films ever made
PuzYT21 December 2022
There are bad films that still have redeeming qualities. The room is horrendous but people love it. Birdemic is horrible but it's pretty damn loved. But there are films out there that you will get ZERO enjoyment out of. This film. This GOD DAMN film is one of them. Tts voices everywhere, amateur rigged animations, a bad plot in general. This film is an unbearable unwatchable piece of garbage. And the amount of things that were stolen from other films is off the charts. You should be able to go your entire LIFE without watching a film that proudly displays "Connections: References Fortnite (2017)" on its IMDb page.

Utterly, Enormously, Atrocious.
alexandervamortensen200216 September 2022
This is just awful, The only reason I participated in that film is because that sorry loser (Darren Pipster) put on a dress and started crying about how he wouldn't be successful and how he wanted to help on this crash and burn film. I admittedly regret staring in this film. I hope this community would all know better and not to be weak about negative opinions and not be so toxic. No wonder I deleted all my TRF Data Crew episodes. I just wanted the part of my internet persona that's JFG just.. reduced. Reduced sharply unless the community is fixed and cleaned up. This film was a big mistake; What in the world was I even thinking of adding that loser? Why does this exist? Thank the lord I have a great doctor to get rid of the cringe.

0/10.

Good First Attempt Guys
chasethecritic28 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
One in what is supposed to be many more to come made by Harmonic Entertainment Inc. I heard about this 5 year movie production in animation circles on discord and decided to watch said movie.

Unfortunately however, I found this movie to have several key issues in its production. Whether it is ripped off jokes from the cartoon series Spongebob(42:08), the clash of art style with the car transformation near the end of the movie, the animation inconsistencies such as the rodfellows car having its gas slot on both sides or the characters switching beds (34:24).

The animation is very simple. Often looking flat with most of the cinematography being simple shots made to easily incorporate premade and reused assets. This makes it so in many scenes, the characters look wooden and stiff which when coupled to the lack of blinking makes everything feel off. This is most problemsome when it comes to characters standing on the side of the seat while inside the car. One scene in particular however that went against this was (22:50) which was well animated. Some assets are noticeably from Vyond (formally Goanimate) such as the cars used by the characters of the movie.(39:19)

The voice acting although amateurish does have a charm, but only for the characters that are audible. Many characters are inaudible due to mic quality, fake accents, and the audio mixing having music and sound effects way too loud, often drowning out the scenes.

My biggest issue however is the plot. The writing felt clunky in many places, especially when a joke is attempted, running into a tangent with very little payoff. Some scenes such as (33:00) and the award scene at the end are meant to fill time. With a sluggish first act, it eventually catches itself in the second and third act before halting to a stop again during the resolution. Although meant for kids, the plot delves into two possibly underage characters entering a nightclub with a scantily clad pole dancer with noticeably larger breasts than most of the other female characters. The plot has two pranksters, Zander and Zayden mess with the Rodfellows. The issue with this however is that the Rodfellows confront them afterwards and threaten them, leading to a peaceful resolve. The Rodfellows however continue to escalate their assault against both of them and even continue to go after them for pranks and crimes not targeted at the rodfellows.

We later learn that Double Z have to write an apology note and might get expelled from elementary school by the principal for one of their pranks. This either means that Double Z are adults who broke into the school and them getting confronted by the principal is nonsensical and should have been cut, or that they are in fifth grade at the most and are getting targeted by clear married adults and also walked into an adult establishment. Either way, both are creepy in their own ways.

The story ends with a literal Deus ex Machina when the creators come down (note, in universe the characters have said oh DLE (the creator) instead of oh god.) and arrest the antagonists for messing with the Rodfellows. Not only that, but one character is killed on the spot for being a remorseful ex-husband. This is right after everyone got done happily talking and discussing about killing him with their iconic smiles on their faces.

Last odd thing to note is that many accused the creators of having a fat fetish. Although I remain in the camp of innocent until proven guilty, many scenes are questionable in my opinion. The small puppy characters such as the orange and black puppies hug only the fat characters. Another character, the archaeologist is another questionable addition. Her weight and size are the particular interests of some of the characters and the archaeologist herself talks about smothering and crushing people with her stomachs.

Although a good first attempt guys, I just see too many problems and too many issues that makes this movie an unpleasant watching experience. I reluctantly give it a 4/10.

A questionable movie about airing out the creators kinks
awpaulson6 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The Rodfellows/Jungle Forest Gang/TDC Triplicity is an overall weird series and it has gone from some rip off of an already established web series, to what seemingly is the creators way to be public about what he...personally likes, to say the least.

I have no idea how the script was written, if there even was a script to begin with, but none of it makes any sense logically, both in-universe and in real life. The antagonists just blatantly say "we're the bad guys", no other reason than to have an antagonist. They do honestly the most petty things, and the protagonists actually retaliate on said actions. By this point, wouldn't they have bothered to call the police? These antagonists seemingly get away with a lot of things without involvement of any authorities.

I have no idea how much lotion was used to finish this movie, but I am sure it was at least 5 bottles.

Could have been better, but not bad for a first movie
Mirabel-WielandMedia23 June 2022
I reviewed this for one of my show reviews episodes. If they had not stole plot elements or used copyrighted music, not to mention some other errors, i would have given this a better rating.

Worst. Movie. Ever.
annathaibinh3 May 2024
I know indie productions like this don't often attract people, but when it comes to animated movies, this sure is the worst one out there. The movie is basically seen as a way to describe what the creators... personally likes, which is horribile considering the character choices are pretty much questionable (fat fetish being the mainstream, though I'm certain that there might have been more stuffs that were just the creators expressing their passion about). The use of music is bad, voice acting is horrible, stolen assets, the plot is bland at best, and it seems like the creators just want to make sure everyone like the product they made, no matter how bad it is (possibly by blaming people for just disliking the franchise in general). There are a lot of hints of GoAnimate in the final product, and the animation is just about the worst online.

Please, for people who were just came across this disaster movie, just click off on it. No one is going to spend 2 hours on dreadful animation product like this.
