English grammar question

My german son in law asks why he cannot say "it was very fun" in reply to something like how was the film or such. I tell him that construction just does not work in English (apparently it does in German) but why?

A few dictionaries are beginning to recognize 'fun' as an adjective, but there are still many strict people who refuse to see it anything other than a noun: We had fun, we had a lot of fun, we had more fun than you did. S. Welcome to the forums, geoffmarbella!
