"Great"

By liliceyblue, Sep 24, 2011

iQuit iCarly is easily one of my favorite episodes of the series. However, there's two down-points of this episode and sadly, they're quite major. 1. Fleck and Dave. What about them is funny exactly? With the exception of their part of "The Blowing", they were incredibly annoying. Was it really needed to have them be so important anyway? Couldn't Carly and Sam have found a way to fight without them? Or at the very least, just tone them down. Focus on more Carly/Sam, less on Fleck/Dave. 2. The Gibby/Spencer subplot. Now wait, I'm not not saying it was bad. It was very funny! Gibby and Spencer need to have more scenes together -- they play well off each other and the sillyness of each character works well with the other. However, with that said, this was NOT the episode to do it. It was hard to get wrapped into the Carly/Sam problem when every couple minutes we were pushed back to Gibby and Spencer on the stern...port...bow. For example, Carly and Sam up on the window washers platform (despite its cheesyness, it was entertaining)...one minute we were up there, next we were watching watermelons get pelted onto a boat. It just didn't work well, in my opinion. Had they paced it different or something, it may have worked. But I just found myself not caring, because I wanted to watch Carly/Sam. Hence, resulted in me fastforwarding. The whole time is just "ugh let's get back to the main plot!"

Now that the cons are out of the way, let's go the the pros! They definitely outweigh the bad.

1. The development in Carly and Sam's friendship. We see that there WAS an underlying problem there and there always has been: about their differences. They're opposites and it had clearly been rubbing them the wrong way. This episode got them to confront that and only strengthen their already strong friendship. 2. The Gibby/Spencer! They are SO funny together! The whole boat thing was great, just in the wrong episode. They definitely need to have more scenes together.

3. The entire divorce scene. Hilarious!

4. The Blowing. It was quite possibly the ONLY webcast related skit that was actually really funny. 5. Sam in her vampire outfit. "Maybe if our producer wasn't such a DIPHEAD." or "Well maybe if a certain hobo had written a better script. MWAHAHA." Need I say more?

6. I was really impressed with the acting in this episode. Miranda and Jennette did really good with the drama. The entire "fighty" scene in the apartment was different than Carly/Sam fights from earlier episodes. This time there was no yelling and screaming about petty things. This time, it was talking and saying things, mostly the truth.

I could go on with more fun moments, but I'll just end here with this. It was a GOOD episode, and I'm surprised the rating is as low as it is. There were some major problems with it but overall not bad. (maybe I'm biased: I LOVE the Carly/Sam friendship and episodes centered around it tend to be my favorite) I'll give it an 8.5moreless

Not a good iCarly movie.

4.5

"Poor"

By AnimalsRCool, Sep 24, 2011

I didn't like this iCarly movie at all. When I saw the commercial for this, I knew what the plot was going to be and how the episode was going to turn out. I mean this episode starts out with Carly, Sam and Freddie discovering these two boys named Fleck and Dave that make these not funny and weird videos. Then, they have them on iCarly and then they ask them if they wanted to do something with them for a Web Contest. They come up with something stupid with purple stuff, which isn't funny and then Dave gets mad because Fleck got purple paint all over his dad's car. Dave was totally overacting and could have just asked his mom to go to the store and buy paint remover and not use the pouch that Fleck gave him. Now, Fleck and Dave start fighting about this, which makes Carly and Sam take sides to this. Sam, of course chooses Fleck's side because he does "bad" things. Carly, of course chooses Dave because he does "good" things. Now Carly and Sam are in this stupid fight that they shouldn't even be involved in. Then, they set up a sattelite uplink, or something for iCarly because they don't want to be near each other. Then, Sam quits iCarly and being Carly's friend, as you can obviously tell by the title. Meanwhile, Spencer wants to win this boat by answering questions on the boat channel. It was funny when Specner had to take a shower and set up mirrors and Freddie said: "Is that a birthmark on your butt?" and Spencer said: "Don't look at it!" Then, Spencer gets the boat and parks it in some guy's parking space because it costs too much to get it to the dock. So, the guy gets his baseball team after practice and they get Spencer out of the boat. Then, they catapult melons, or something at them and they get out of the boat. Meanwhile, Carly wants to go with Dave up to the top floor of their apartment to the window washer and Sam goes up there with Fleck too. Then, they fight and Carly is about to fall off , but Sam saves her and then Sam is about to fall off and Carly saves her. Then Fleck and Dave make up and Carly and Sam make up. It was funny at the end when Carly and Sam did the preview for the movie: "The Blowing" other than that, this episode was not good. D-moreless

"Terrible"

By Dumb_Dog_19, Sep 24, 2011

This episode had many issues. Most of it was humorless. In fact, when I found out about this episode and what it was about, I immediatly knew this episode would have many awful momments, but when I saw it myself, man. The plot was bad. Sam and Carly broke up because of these two boys who split their friendship of doing a weird webshow. At the beginning of this review, I said most of it was humorless. It did have some good humor, like Sam's idea of Freddie getting in a daiper and jumping into a tiger exhibit for their webshow.

Overall, I give it a mid-F.moreless

Wow!!!... really writers?... I knew that this wasn't going to be a perfect 1-hour TV Movie... I knew it!!!!!

"Mediocre"

By tigerdude22, Apr 21, 2011

This review is for both part 1 and part 2 in the 1-hour "iCarly" TV movie "iQuit iCarly". Yes!!!!! my prediction about this 1-hour TV movie came true... I knew it was going to be a disappointment when I saw the promo for this. Come on!!! what's wrong writers?... are you running out of good ideas? The fans need an answer. Anyways, why would the writers make a 1-hour TV movie so stupid and so predictable? Come on!!! we all knew that Carly and Sam are going back to doing "iCarly" together at the end of this 1-hour TV movie. You must be stupid if you actually thought that Carly and Sam are giving up iCarly forever... they would have made this a series finale if that happened. Those two boys, Fleck and Dave really aren't funny at all. Come on!!! sometimes I feel like this show doesn't know what comedy is. The main plot was stupid and predictable but luckily Spencer's subplot saved my score. I thought it was funny when Carly meant to throw the muffin at Sam but missed the target and hit the elderly woman instead. When Carly and Sam were about to fall off the building... I thought it was funny when Spencer threw the rope down to save the girls and the rope hit Sam. Those are the only parts from the main plot that made me laugh. The subplot was even funnier. I thought it was very funny when Spencer is trying to win a boat. It was funny that Gibby would eat the watermelon. Spencer and Gibby throwing the watermelons at the people that are taking over Spencer's boat was hilarious. I thought it was so stupid that the audience (laugh track) would clap and cheer when Carly and Sam are saved... they make it sound like they were about to die and that they were never going to see them again... what a bunch of idiots. The ending was also ridiculous when Carly, Sam, Fleck, and Dave made "The Blowing" trailer. Overall, this was just a mediocre 1-hour "iCarly" TV movie... come up with better ideas than this for now on writers. 5/10moreless

"Good"

By jyarter, Aug 16, 2010

Not one of the better ideas for iCarly the writers have come up with. I think it's the fact that Sam and Carly are so different that they get along. You would figure they would know that after all these years.

Fleck and Dave were a little strange and not that funny. They really didn't bring much to the show except the catalyst for the big breakup which seemed to happen with a whimper instead of a bang. Most of what they did were major sight gags like the purple car.

Spencer ends up winning a really expensive boat from watching the boating channel and some very strange things happen including Spencer bombing his own boat with watermelons. Yes, watermelons. In the end it's the same as always, Spencer did not consider all the factors when engaging in something.

Freddie pretty much stands around and gets slapped and waits for something to happen. Of course you can't blame him for not wanting to come between Carly and Sam, but when Carly wants something he acted very much out of character as he loves her and can't stand Sam.

Overall not one of the better outings for this show. I would still blame it on the writing and not the characterizations. There was more danger and negativity then funny and positive in the program and that's not what you sign on for when watching this show. Thanks for reading...moreless
