Reviews

This show is actually quite charming. It has it's equal blend of humorous and dramatic sides, and the characters are reasonably likable.

However, the plot isn't necessarily that original. For one thing, it is quite similar to the movies of "Legally Blonde", with the story being about the once dumb blonde turning into a lawyer and ends up doing a good job, and learns new things about life.

Minus the part where the protagonist dies and enters the new body, it just feels like the same. At least for now.

Another thing, is no doubt the noticeable division between two types of women, with "unattractive but smart and caring" and "Attractive but vain and self centered" - or to stretch it out into another category, the blonde is dumb but the brunette is intelligent. Do we honestly have to use hair colour again to imply how a person really is? I'm not entirely fond of this blend. Especially if one desires to notice also that all the men in this show are both equally handsome AND smart. Why is this sort of division only apply to women? And very specific? That being said however, I will admit once more that the show is quite pleasant. It is the first pilot after all, so hopefully it will develop some more and broaden the horizons, and certain characters get more character development.

At least with shows like "Ugly Betty" (Which I love) every character equally goes through development, despite their assigned roles. Regardless of their appearances, status in the fashion industry and intelligence, all had made mistakes, show a humane side and progressed. Let's hope this show will start doing the same, instead of basing it solely on the basic storyline.

This movie is unfunny, immature, stereotypical, rude, and consists of a lot of unnecessary yelling and swearing. What was so funny about the constant fights?

And it really makes people who actually choose to be virgins look like complete losers. And the topic of sex is completely everywhere, in an non-amusing sort of way. Bad jokes, and really poor/uninteresting characters.

Honestly, the intelligent person would never enjoy such a silly movie. But I guess that speaks a lot for many audiences who do enjoy it.

I honestly thought that perhaps it could of been a cute movie - but no, it really is an immature event.

I will be honest, I did not have high expectations for this movie. For one thing, I was concerned over how thrilling it could be let alone be able to show any originality within the plot.

At the start of the movie, it does feel that way. It isn't all eye popping or creepy at all, and even felt really tame. However, once you reach little more than half-way into the movie it completely changes - the twist was really original, and phenomenal! Towards the end of the movie I was definitely at the edge of my seat, because for once you actually don't know who will by the next murdered victim of Esther. In a lot of previous movies, the obvious characters tend to survive or die. But not this! The actress who plays Esther was absolutely amazing and talented. Overall, take a chance with this movie - it really is something, especially during the last half. The plot twist is no doubt the highlight.

The movie is decently funny, and consists of some really cute and clever scenes. I would also like to say that it does have an original concept behind the plot.

The lead actor also does a pretty good job! It was mainly this fellow who created the more humorous parts - the monologue audition scene? Hilarious! Gosh I loved it, no doubt my favourite part of the whole movie.

Otherwise, it wasn't a eye-popping event. Nor do I believe it will be something hugely memorable on the long run. As said, some scenes in the movie were pretty cute, but sometimes it kind of conveys some unrealistic attributes, with rushed or unnecessary parts. I also tend to feel bad for the father of the love interest, as I did not believe he should of been treated so harshly. Now due to that, amongst other things about her personality, I did not like the lead female who ends up being Charlie's girlfriend. It ruined the romantic sideline for me, personally.

Do I recommend this movie overall? Indeed I do, if you want something lighthearted and cute. Don't have high expectations though, and keep your mind casual. Not a great great movie, but neither is it bad.

Great show. It is very clever, lighthearted and original.

And it is wonderful to have a show out there that actually focuses on the intellectual side of humour, using creative writing and a highly witty dialogue.

I have been watching this series since the very first season, and it has not disappoint thus far. Especially since I am a daughter of a mathematical genius/nuclear engineer and you have no idea how CLOSE Sheldon's quirks are to those of my father. It makes me understand/appreciate the series so much more - and my dad himself overall really connects with the show, and loves it greatly.

Extremely recommended. Especially if you appreciate intelligence. Definitely a show that needs to be kept around for a nice while! It is ridiculously funny!

This show is ridiculous. Is it really a serious reality show? Like are they seriously looking for models or is there some sort of joke going on around here? For one thing, not only do the majority of models on this show have terrible personalities, but they are very unattractive. They might be tall and skinny, but that is all the qualifications that they seem to have.

Even in photos they look terrible.

At least in America's Next Top Model, they search for facial structures that can be flattering in photography and catwalk (Even if the girls don't look as pretty face to face as their normal selves) and be a chameleon - have a face that can easily change looks.

These "models" don't even have that. They walk and pose terribly too, and these challenges that they face are so silly.

I can't believe this show is still running...

The whole plot line is nothing but sex. Sex sex sex. From all walks of life; whether it is the meek girl who was taken advantage of, the player, the wannabe-player, the bad girl, the girl who wants to save it till marriage, the boyfriend who wants to pressure her to give in...

Seriously, there does not seem to be at least one sentence where the characters are not talking about intercourse. ALL of the characters.

It's nothing but stereotypes, and really bad dialogue. And unrealistic in regards to what life as a teen really is like. If it is suppose to be a satire, or a spoof of some sort...doesn't seem to be doing a great job.

And for one thing, the adults themselves appear to be brainless. If a principle KNEW that a boy wanted to join the band just because he wanted to pick up girls....wouldn't it be refused overall? The kid even asked for a condom!

And I tire of the stereotypical portrayal of girls who do want to wait till marriage. Not all of them are girly, pushy, over religious and braggy about their chastity. But yet will eventually will always "give in" to their apparent urges.

And not all teenage boys are crazy horny 24/7 with bad intentions on their minds.

The whole sex theme and teen pregnancy is getting old - especially if it isn't done well and creatively.

It gives a whole general bad impression on American society, as if all teens are really like this.

I will say from the start, that this movie was not particularly scary to me at all. However, it was still likable, and the history on post-mortem photographs is pretty interesting.

The acting by the supporting roles is a bit weak, and some of the sub-plots seemed kind of pointless. The beginning of the movie also felt a bit rushed and didn't appear to be well put together. However, it does gradually get better and moves much more smoothly. The only real other critique is that the ending is a bit unbelievable.

Overall the movie was still basically interesting, with a high likely that a viewer will feel sympathy for the lead characters who are the main connections to the haunting.

The story itself does have some themes that were done before, but there is some originality to it too.

SAW is rather unique, and the Jigsaw character can be compelling (And even likable at times!)

However there is something just generally missing within the plot. It wasn't as grand as I thought it would be, nor as creepy. Some of the scenes skip back and forth, so if you are not careful you could get confused with the plot.

I suppose I just thought this film was only average, and it instead just seemed more depressing than freakingly appealing. Neither was it horribly intense either, as there were some clichés. The ending does have a twist though, which might surprise some people.

I will say this though, that SAW will help you appreciate life.
