The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Think before you laugh. When it comes to comedy the only though people have is laughter is very best m.e.d.i.s.o.n. I do not like slap stick hummer. I do not think it is funny to watch actors pretend to get hurt. I try to tolerate other people laughing at it. But at some point you just go to far. These are real people getting hurt. This is very sick when stop and think about. Some people are uptight about movies with people getting killed that have a lot of blood. And they are not real. L.u.k.a M.a.g.o.t.t.a filmed his murder and people gave him money to see it. Maybe it happened to some they did not know. Thats the excuse right. This is really sick. This is so mean n.a.t.u.r.e.d.

When the show first came on in 1990, it was funny, namely because of its novelty value. Home videos were still relatively rare, and there were already occasional programs depicting the occasional flubbed lines, minor accidents, etc. by professional television people. Why not expand the idea to amateurs making their videos?And there were funny events such as minor accidents at gatherings, or while playing sports, or people who were supposed to do or say one thing but forgot or goofed, or animals or kids doing something they weren't supposed to. These things happen in real life, after all.Of course, as the years went by and the show started offering "funniest" awards, inevitably people would send in staged "bloopers" or things that were shocking rather than humorous, or any of a number of outrageous actions in a desperate attempt to top other videos. In other words, people were trying anything to get on television to be seen by millions. Which I supposed was inevitable during the show's too-long run.

I have watched your show for years and enjoyed it. However, last night a segment showed a young boy encouraged by an adult to put his pet white mouse on top of a cage outdoors. Suddenly a bird of prey swooped down and flew off with the mouse. The audience and the host laughed and the host made a comment about grace before mealtime. I was so shocked at the inhumane, insensitive attitude of your host and the audience, who is always affected by the behavior of the host,I'm sending letters about this to PETA, ASPCA & Bob Barker hoping they will take action. Another program about America's Funniest Animals requests no videos showing harm to animals be sent. How different their standard is from yours! We all know life exists at the expense of other life but to encourage a youngster to "feed" his mouse to a bird of prey, even accidentally, and then laugh about it teaches him to be insensitive to life in general. Margaret Mead once said the most dangerous thing you can do to a child is let it get away with torturing an animal. This certainly falls in that category. As an Anthropologist I'm concerned about this and our culture as a result of your program.

I used to love watching America's Funniest Home Videos until a few months ago. In February of this year, I realized how stupid this show really is. All I saw was people getting hurt, doing gross things, kids who throw tantrums and scream bloody murder when they don't get their way, and cruelty to animals. Ha-ha; Too funny. NOT. I'll never go back to watching AFV and wasting my time again. My mom and the rest of my family members have watched it since it first premiered and I think they are the only people who still like it. Whenever I trip or fall down, my brother always laughs at me. I think he learned to do it because of AFV. This show needs to go off the air for good-enough is enough. Whenever this show is on, I make myself go outside or to another room.
