Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Leofwine_draca The presence of about ten scriptwriters should have warned me just how bad this remake of a '80s-era slasher would be. That, and the name of the directors, The Butcher Brothers. If that doesn't say it all then I don't know what does.APRIL FOOL'S DAY is an appalling film, so cringeworthy, so awful that I can barely believe it exists. The script is awful, mind-numbingly bad and with no discernible wit, skill or intelligence present at any spot in the narrative. The actors are equally terrible, delivering their lines in a stilted way reminiscent of automatons. Watching the end result, I can't help but liken this to a particularly poor episode of BEVERLEY HILLS 90210.Horror fans should look elsewhere, too. There's plenty of full-blooded horror on offer in cinemas today, and this is anything but. The various kill scenes are silly indeed and the movie reaches a real nadir when it comes to the big twist at the climax, which is the most ridiculous, SCOOBY DOO-type thing I've ever seen. Please, please do yourself a favour and avoid this movie like the plague.

Rodrigo Amaro The guru of all screenwriters Syd Field says in one of his many screenplay rules that everything you need to know about a good movie it's in its ten first minutes. If you watch this first ten minutes than it will be good. That rule is controversial but in this case worked admirably and I made my own rule: After one (1) minute of watching this thriller travesty disguised as horror film I knew it would suck. But I kept watching, torturing myself with some funny scenes, no blood whatsoever and specially no scary and tense scenes. One minute and that's all it took to make of "April Fool's Day" one of the worst films I ever seen.A bunch of pretty and rich teenagers in a débutant party made by two brothers Blaine and Desiree (Josh Henderson and Taylor Cole) who wants to make a prank on Milan (Sabrina Aldridge) a girl hated by Desiree for reasons unknown. But it turns out that the April Fool's prank resulted in the accidental death of Milan and one year later of that event all the group involved with it starts to receive threats of someone who wants them to confess Milan's murder. And just like many other movies of the genre these teens are getting killed in awful ways (nothing is showed actually so a kid can watch this movie with no problem).I watched this movie as result of a simple mistake where I was switching TV channels and saw this movie description and I saw the name of Josh Henderson (which I didn't know who was) but in my mind I've read Josh Hutcherson (the boy from "Bridge to Terabithia") thinking "Oh if he's in the movie that might be a good movie to watch. Well he wasn't in it (Lucky!) and it turned out to be a great disaster.The plot is obvious, the plot twist it's quite funny (Blaine's expression while getting shot was completely ridiculous and everybody knows that he was going play a prank on his sister) and the acting? Boy it was awful than everything I saw in terms of thriller-comedy-horror-drama films. These so-called actors know that they can't act? The beauty looks on everybody's face here was just a distractive thing, now if you wanna see acting in real horror movies go watch "The Exorcist" or "Saw" with the incredible Tobin Bell. I mean, even in "One Missed Call" one of the weakest films I've ever seen there's a good performance in it. The unintentionally funny stuff is delivered in the "death scenes" (except for the real ones). The most funny and stupid scene is delivered by the smiling young guy running for a chair in the Senate. He's running away with Desiree while they were being chased by a white van and these two are running in front of the van expecting not to get hit. And his allegedly death in this incident is incredibly funny, you only see his briefcase and many papers flying and no sound of body falling or smashed under wheels which means: how Desiree knew he was dead? She's so dumb to that point? And most important, the director and writers really thought that audiences could be that stupid and believe in that? Other thing that was enormously bad was the TV news show. That lack of a little bit of reality, the whole phony concept was annoying, the host can't barely present the news and in the two scenes involving her and the reports of the prank I wanted to throw something on the screen because it was that bad. Let us pray so that no directors, writers and actors want to make more movies like this anymore. And as a part of the audience I don't wanna see this thing ever again. Unfortunately I have to give 1 star but if I could I would give -1 in the film score. 1/10

Claudio Carvalho In the débutant ball of the socialite Torrance Caldwell (Scout Taylor-Compton) on April, 1st 2007, the jealous and futile millionaire Desiree Cartier (Taylor Cole) dilutes a powerful drug in the champagne of her dislikable acquaintance Milan Hastings (Sabrina Ann Aldridge) and her reckless brother Blaine Cartier (Josh Henderson) takes sexual advantage of Milan. Desiree tapes the situation with a camcorder while her friends Torrance, Barbie (Jennifer Siebel) and Peter Welling (Samuel Child), Charles Lansford (Joseph McKelheer) and Ryan (Joe Egender) snoop the couple in Blaine's bedroom. However, Milan has a seizure and falls off the balcony immediately dying. The group goes to court, Blaine looses the control of the family's fortune that shifts to Desiree, but they are considered innocents and the death of Milan is considered a fatality in a prank. One year later, each one of them receive a letter mustering them up to Milan's grave. While gathered in the cemetery, they receive a package telling that each one of them would die until the end of the day if the responsible for the death of Milan does not assume the guilty.The association of "April's Fool Day" with the franchises "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Cruel Intentions" is immediate. The author has certainly inspired in these movies to write his plot, and I noted that this is not only my impression, but there is at least another IMDb User that had the same feeling. However, the unoriginal, unbelievable and predictable story is not totally bad and entertains. The good point of this flick is the camera work, with long travelings and original planes and angles. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Dia da Mentira" ("Day of the Lie" (literally), meaning "April Fool's Day")

akul671 I guess, if you start watching this movie and then think it a silly and tasteless slasher and turn it off before it ends you can get a completely wrong impression. The end is twisted (2 times) and it is only then that we realize that the movie is not a slasher at all and why actually they used (and intentionally overused) that 'rich and beautiful' even trashy deco all the time. For the movie has a strong social, even communist, message much more 'serious' than those, for example, Romero (presumably) did. This movie surpasses the horror genre limitations (as any good horror flick should do). In the end it shows what the real horror is - the real horror is the rich, the upper class. It does so in absolutely non-melodramatic way any character being horrible, the decorations being intetionally horrible and the slasher being a joke before the real horror of the society. I'm from the former communist country and if this movie had come out some 30 years before it would have been the only horror movie my dear communist government would have gladly allowed to be shown. Really, I'm surprised at quite a low rating it gets here. It's stylish, very well thought-out and the ending is indeed surprising. And a real social message in a horror movie - it doesn't happen that often.
