The Adventures Of Food Boy


Not all superheros fight crime, and Ezra uses his superpowers to do things more meaningful than what he initially believes.
Being a nobody in school, main character Ezra, hopes to gain some popularity and add meaning to life by vying for high school President.
Things then starts to get exciting when Ezra's hands begins to SHOOT out food spontaneously. Food such as peanut butter, beef and mustard.
Since its a 'talent', why not make full use of it? And Ezra got a brilliant idea of using his 'gift' to perform 'magic tricks' to gain popularity in school.
Ezra can choose to live with his 'gift' after the curse of the 59 days trail, or he can choose to give up his talent and live life as a normal teenage boy. He is rather torn between the two as his life has been disrupted ever since he realised his unforeseen talents.

High School Musical's Ryan Evans (Lucas Grabeel) stars as Ezra in The Adventures Of Food Boy in this Disney Channel production, showing audience another side of him. Lucas treats his acting opportunities seriously and really brings acting into another realm.

Food Boy is a TV movie so, really, do not expect anything more than an average plot with average actors. The story plot is really simple and a very easy watch, so everything was quite pleasant.
Something I really hate about it is the almost redundant commercial breaks which were less than 45 seconds each. I had to RUN to my room, can't even sit down in front of my computer for more than 15 secs and then RUN back to the living room. I see no point in that kind of commercial breaks la.
But please give a round of applause for the production crew, they dared to waste food and smash bread, mustard, meat, ice-cream and whatever you can think of all over the place.

The fun was more than anything, and that definitely made my Saturday night fun.
