    This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

    Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

    Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

    this is a hilarious Disney show with a interesting plot. it is a very creative idea to even think up the Advanced Natural Talents program. the characters are interesting, as they all have their own special talent. the lead Chyna is a musical prodigy, Olive remembers everything, and Fletcher is an artist. Lexi and Paisley are hilarious high school girls. Paisley doesn't understand anything (thats the nice way of saying she's stupid) she's always misunderstanding everything, and Lexi thinks she's the most beautiful and talented girl, and is really just mean. the one thing me and my family don't like about this show is how it makes fun of Angus, the computer science prodigy. since he's fat, they make it so that he's always eating. me and my family think that is a bad message to send to kids. overall this is a great show and i don't see why it got such bad reviews.

    I am 44 years old, so A.N.T. Farm is a show I never intended to watch at all, and certainly didn't think would become one of my favorite shows. I have two girls, and I happened to sit down with them one day while A.N.T. Farm was on, and though it took a few minutes, I was hooked. I was frequently laughing, and also impressed with the intelligence of the humor. (And that intelligence includes the "dumbness" of characters like Paisley and Gibson and Cameron. Writing good "dumb" characters is not easy.) A.N.T. Farm is unique among family shows for its absurdist style and wit. Think Monty Python or Demetri Martin or the satirical edge of The Simpsons, but suitable for all ages. Like any series, some shows are better than others, but most episodes have a good number of laughs, and a few that are particularly clever. The main actors portraying Chyna, Olive, Fletcher, Angus and Lexi are all very engaging, and the supporting cast is colorful and interesting.I'm a little less crazy about the setting change for season 3. The absurdity of the show seemed to contrast better against the more typical setting of an average high school, as opposed to the absurd setting of a super school run by a zany Steve Jobs type. Here's hoping, if there is a season 4, that they can return to the original school. But the show is still highly entertaining and intelligent, regardless.I'm surprised to see A.N.T. Farm so poorly rated here, but I think it perhaps requires more thought and attention to appreciate than typical sitcoms. I consider myself pretty well versed in comedy, and I write comedy for children as part of my career, and there are some jokes on the show that I don't get right away. That makes A.N.T. Farm a great show for repeat viewings, as you can appreciate the humor more than once and even pick up new things the second time through.If I have any quibble about the show, it's that some of my favorite characters (e.g., Gibson, Paisley, Skidmore, Cameron) have been written out or lost from the cast, except for rare cameos, and essentially replaced with less interesting and funny characters (e.g., Zoltan, Winter, Hippo). There are also rare times when the show can forget what its real strength is (absurd comedy), and meander into something more typical of sitcoms for children, where a lesson is learned or character relationships are strengthened, or a performance is featured (i.e., Chyna singing a song). Thankfully, these times aren't that frequent, and often include some humor as well, but I do think I'd prefer if the show just owned its silliness all of the time.Still, though it may not get the appreciation it deserves, A.N.T. Farm is one of the most entertaining and intelligent comedy series on TV in recent years (and yes, I'm including adult shows in that comparison).

    Haven't you people learned the art of comedy? Obviously, the people who made A. N. T. Farm didn't. Why should I use a giant magnifying glass to burn down the studios that made this crap? Let's dive in...First of all, the actors are as bland as Selena Gomez in Wizards of Waverly Place. The creepiest character out of all these "people" is the boy who kisses his hand while imagining that he's in love with one of the main female characters of the show. It would be funny if a girl sees this boy and smacks the living daylights out of him, but it never happened. Then, this show is not, I repeat, NOT FUNNY!! There's this scene where a robot shows up and this audience(I'm using this word in loose terms) starts laughing. Then, one of the characters say "Look! A robot!" and the "audience" laughs again! To quote the Nostalgia Critic: Not Funny plus not funny EQUALS NOT F______ FUNNY!!! Jiminy Crickets! That scene was unfunny that this scene would make Disaster Movie look like A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum! I'm sorry, was I suppose to laugh? NO I'M NOT GONNA LAUGH BECAUSE YOU IDIOTS AREN'T FUNNY!! If you don't agree me, then you're brain-dead! Bottom Line: Bland actors, frightening characters, and no comedy what-so-ever is proof that A. N. T. Farm should have been squashed like the ant it is.

    The only halfway decent show on Disney Channel now is Good Luck Charlie. The plot of this show is that 11 year olds are in a high school which is something no one can relate to. The writing is bad there are nearly no jokes. The only 2 characters I like are Paisley and Lexi, because although she's unrealisticly evil it is funny to watch. They do the one thing that kids comedy are known for and thats have someone get hurt and then laugh at it. It teaches kids bad lessons if anything happens to someone in real life. For instance in one episode a cement block was dropped on Fletcher's foot and the whole time he's screaming no one is helping him. Olive is a jerk to everybody in almost every episode, and I have no idea why people like her. Also most of the episodes have endings that don't rap up the story (although the story is never continued). For instance in the Christmas special, when their principal is taking advantage of them, they just give up. In PatANT Pending, Olive never apologizes and in Ballet DANTser, it ends with the evil little girl just hunting down Fletcher. Lastly, if Chyna and Olive are supposedly Fletcher's friends, it amazes me how they are always mean to him (except for one episode, but then only Chyna is being nice then anyway). Whenever something bad happens to him they just laugh and ignore it. What great friends you are. Overall I think they need new writers and more real jokes instead of not funny filler jokes. Olive's character needs a complete remodeling, though I think Angus is kind of cute sometimes.
