This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
... View MoreMemorable, crazy movie
... View MoreWhile it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreThe show revolved around depth, passion, comedy and the dedication of four best friends. It was written well, and was fun to watch!
... View MoreiCarly has unfunny humor and characters varying from having no personality to not being likable at all. Victorious has main characters that are completely unlikable. But at least they both have a little bit of intelligence.This show has no intelligence at all. No real effort is put into it. Every single character is over-the-top immature except for the little girl. The four male leads act like three-year-olds in the way they act, run around, break stuff, yell and scream; they don't even act like regular college boys. In fact, this is all everyone does; scream and yell. Especially that music director; man, I can't stand him. He doesn't act like a real musical director; nothing in this show is realistic at all. No episodes have any real plots; it's all just a bunch of screaming and not much else.The music is the only thing this show has going for it, but I don't even consider it anything special; just generally good. I can't say the same for the rest of the show. It's not good, funny or well thought out. It's stupid, unintelligent, and has absolutely nothing to offer. I cannot understand why so many people like this; then again, people are stupid enough to consider shows just as bad or worse popular, such as other Teen Nick shows, most of the current bad shows on Disney Channel, and the infamous High School Musical.
... View MoreOMG, I cannot even express how embarrassing this show is. Stupid, mortifying characters and scripting. I guess it is supposed to address teens around 10 to 14 (or 16 considering it is a boy band) -- but how can anyone that age enjoy this nonsense? Or anyone any age. A boy band of age what, 18, 21 in average (?) acting like five year olds !? made me to watch :-) ) Evey nanosecond spend on this makes me suffer from. I guess marketing, making money, promoting the band and all that is far more important nowadays than producing good shows. Why does Nicelodeon not try something deeper? Children CAN and DO enjoy that, there is no need for reducing shows to shallow ones. Josh and Drake had some really god stories. That should be the direction...
... View MoreI clicked "contains spoiler" not for plot points but to point out some of the throw-away gags that people probably wouldn't expect in "kids" programming.I'm 41 and childless, so came to this show in a long roundabout way I'd just as soon skip explaining, heh. In a nutshell I came to have tickets to see One Direction opening for them and saw their CD at the store, thought "Oh I should check out the MAIN ACT" and enjoyed it. Someone I know with pre-teens warned "Whatever you do don't watch the show!" Well, challenge accepted. I grew up on the Monkees so figured it would be similar. Nick.com usually has a few full episodes online so you can get a taste for free. I enjoyed what I saw enough to pick up the season 1 DVDs and became engrossed in the inside jokes and character development.When you peel back the slapstick-y, cornball surface aimed at the younger audience there is a clever, savvy satire about the entertainment industry, the fame "machine", the recording industry, Hollywood, teenage angst, etc. I love that they don't shy away from breaking the "4th wall" touching on stalkers and that sort of thing. (Will they dare address the "fanfiction" issue? EDGE OF MY SEAT!!!) But what I love most is the way the writers manage to sneak in so many weird and geeky inside jokes for adults. Off the top of my head, there's Carlos referring to the girl he dated for 5 minutes and broke up with (who happened to be wearing a red shirt) as "red-shirted girl" (Star Trek ref); James (after Logan steals his "swagger") vows to steal Logan's "Smart...brain...stuff" and proceeds to fill several whiteboards with calculations resulting in the answer of "42" - "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" ref; and one that made me laugh the hardest: Gustavo throws two darts at a board of random words to determine the title of his next hit song: "Ok, be back in an hour to record *thwack* Muskrat... *thwack* Love!" And for the record I was thinking "This puts me in the mind of watching some Monkees." I did, for about 5 minutes and it was unbearable. Wow - I didn't see that coming.
