- TriviaOriginally supposed to have a theatrical release.
- GoofsIt is established that Timmy is actively trying to avoid falling in love with Tootie, and goes so far as to say that she kissed him once and it was not voluntary. However, that kiss was on the episode "Love Struck!" (season 3, episode 24), and it completely contradicts what Timmy is saying. The kiss was voluntary because Timmy was in love with Tootie at the end of the episode - he shot himself with Cupid's arrow specifically so that he would fall in love with her. The kiss was definitely not forced upon him, and based on Cosmo's reaction to watching it, it was not a platonic kiss either. ("That's cute." "Ok, this is a little awkward." "OK, this is downright creepy."

Featured review
Not the Fairly Oddparents (Sort Of)
A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner is unfaithful to the Fairly Oddparents show for the most part, which is much better than this. Both the beginning and end credits say it was directed and written by Butch Hartman, who also created the show, and also written by Scott Fellows, who also wrote the show, but I feel like I'm being lied to. They broke "da rules" of their own creation, which doesn't make any sense. This is likely non-canon to the show.
Kids who have fairy godparents get their fairies taken away by the fairy taxi when they turn 18, according to the source material. Here, Timmy Turner is now 23, and he still has his fairies. According to this, kids don't get their fairies taken away until they receive their first kiss, no matter how old they are. Even when Timmy and Toodee kiss for the first time at the end, the former gets to keep Cosmo and Wanda for some reason. For most of the movie, Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof try to stop Timmy from "growing up" and loving Toodee. In the show, it says in Da Rules that one can't use magic to create or interfere with true love, and Cosmo and Wanda know that, but they use magic to interfere with true love here, making them hypocrites and causing them to break one of their own rules. Not only that, but sometimes the fairies don't disguise themselves when they're in public, and somebody could've seen them. According to the show, one isn't allowed to reveal the existence of their fairy godparents, or else they'd get their fairies taken away forever. Not only does Timmy still have his fairies, but he likes Toodee here and hates her in the show. He's also still in fifth grade for some reason, and Mr. Crocker is still his teacher.
I have a few problems with the character designs and acting here and there. Jorgen and Vicky barely resemble their cartoon counterparts, and for some reason, the former is played by a live actor, has a realistic design, and isn't in CGI like Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof, despite also being a fairy. The animated fairies do look accurate to the cartoon, but they don't blend in well with live action, and the special effects look fake. In a flashback, Toodee appears in her kid form and attire and is played by the same actress who plays her adult counterpart, Daniella Monet. Why couldn't a kid actress play kid Toodee like they did with kid Timmy in his photos? Human Cosmo (Jason Alexander) and Human Wanda's (Cheryl Hines) voices barely sound like their fairy forms' voices.
Unfortunately, some of the characters from the show like Trixie, Sanjay, Elmer, the Pixies, and many others don't appear at all, and it hasn't been explained what happened to them.
The Fairly Oddparents is one cartoon that doesn't work well in live action. I wish an animated theatrical FOP movie was released instead. FOP is one of the only long running Nicktoons that doesn't have an animated movie adaptation, much to my surprise. This movie is surprisingly faithful to the source material in some ways (e.g., most of the characters are still their same old likable selves and haven't been flanderized, Daran Norris, Susanne Blakeslee, and Tara Strong reprised their roles as the voices of Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof, the sets look very similar to the show's locations, etc.). That's why I give it a 3/10. It's far from being one of the worst live action adaptations of a cartoon, but also far from being one of the best. Don't watch A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner. Watch FOP instead.
