Captivating movie !

Admirable film.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

As long as you don't judge this show by the first 1/2 season, it just may be worthy of your watch list. Don't worry, the awful characters Bret & Chet fade into obscurity (excepting occasional eps. like s02e08). I wouldn't wish any show made by the people who created the first 1/2 season upon my worst enemies. Of course, the very first episode is the origin story, so you may wish to survive it by keeping the fast-forward button at the ready. I'm enjoying this show now in season two; 'good enough to DVR new episodes. And, I suppose it was okay for them to briefly bring Diesel back to temporarily prominence in the Halloween episode. Now, I no longer cringe at horrible attempts at comedy, or roll my eyes in dismay while contemplating changing the channel. If you give the later episodes a try then you just may agree...

Best Friends Whenever starts off with the two best friends, Cyd and Shelby, accidentally got zapped with some kind of taser-machine and find out they have the capability to time-travel to time periods that they choose to. The first episode went to a good start to the series but as it continued, each plot of each episodes were going a bit weak and not very understandable, leading to the point where it unknowingly duplicates some of the jokes from previous Disney Channel TV Series. I would say the series is far better than Stuck in the Middle but it isn't. The characters weren't properly introduced, the jokes were extremely weak that the laughter was used frequently, even when it isn't funny but I will say that the visual effects has greatly improved and seemed realistic compared to other DC TV series.Not a great TV series but not a bad one.

Not realistic? NOT REALISTIC? It's a show about time travel for godness sake. Who said anything about realism?The girls can time travel and a guy has a lab. And? There were time travel shows in the past and nobody cared. Dexter from Dexter's Lab has a huge lab that clearly couldn't fit in his house. Nobody cared. So when someone else can time travel and when someone else has a lab, you guys are quick to hate on it, not realizing you grew up watching the same things but loving it.It seems like you guys are just looking for reasons to hate on Disney at this point. This is television. This isn't reality, it's TELEVISION. It's not supposed to be realistic. If you want realistic stuff, close the TV and go outside, or go to school, or do your homework or whatever. That'll be realistic.

I love this show and all the characters. I love the concept/idea, and the age of the characters are teenagers; what teenager doesn't love a show about two teens in high school who can time-travel after a friend's science experiment goes awry? I don't care if it's not funny, 'cause I don't need funny to enjoy it. Plus, some scenes and lines were funny, so it's not without its comedy.It would make me happy, though, if episodes were biweekly instead of monthly.I wish Disney would make more teen sci-fi shows! "Phil of the Future" was well-loved, but it was canceled after 2 seasons; perhaps they can make a spin off/sequel that deals with another family who traveled to the 21st century? In the magic part, perhaps they can continue "Wizards of Waverly Place" with a spin off show that deals with a wizard family in the wizard world? PLEASE, Disney, read my review here!
