Charming and brutal

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This show had a good idea behind it of being a Canadian comedy series with a geeky heart. They were obviously trying to be a kind of a Canadian Big Bang Theory but just couldn't pull it off. The acting is pretty ham and the writing is not very funny. Not a winner of a TV show but not the worst either.

The acting was over the top and the writing was not good either... I didn't like this show.

I really wish this show hadn't been canceled. I guessed it was Canadian before I even looked it up. The humor is priceless, and typically Canadian, with lots of dry wit and slapstick elements: a good meld of Corner Gas (humor type) and Big Bang Theory (geeky subject matter). I actually like it more than Corner Gas, though my husband might disagree with me. But we both agree on this: too bad it wasn't given more of a chance.The characters are lovable and zany (and yes, not very believable, but very fun). We are really enjoying the few episodes, and are disappointed that we'll have to look elsewhere when they're done. Overall, a great laugh.

Based on the pilot, this show tries to hard to be 'over the top', with joke after joke in seriously bad taste yet no actual funniness. For example, it's supposed to be funny when an overweight, insecure shop girl head butts her mocking, attractive coworker, giving her "the worst concussion they've ever seen" at the ER. It's supposed to be funny that everyone is such a loser with no grasp on reality. That the security guard takes home a mannequin from the store, for 'date night'. That the predatory sports shop owner verbalizes nothing but abuse and threats. It's like they just came up with every loser-y cliché they could think of and threw it in, thinking it would be funny. It isn't. Because it's all just so creepy and there's nothing and no one to like.Watch at your own risk!
