    Beautiful, moving film.

    Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

    There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

    i just read the comment from mathewmasao and i totally agree. i just remembered to finally look up the name of that show that was on for one season and that i was really hooked on, and then quickly took off the air. i just saw "princess diaries 2" on cable TV and was able to find out ann hathaways name. i remembered seeing her on it. i don't really remember now what the show was about, but i always wonder why they took it off. i just really remember me being the only one hooked on this show in my house. guess it didn't appeal to that many people. i'm glad there's such a thing as imb to look these things up. can't tell you how many bets i've won with my husband about which actors were in what movies. thanks imb!

    I have no idea why the people canceled this show! I mean this was the best show I have ever seen, it's too bad people in our society today can't see a good show when it's right in their faces. Hopefully some TV station will pick it up and play the only season's reruns then maybe people would realize!

    This has to be the most phony, unrealistic, stupid show on TV. The characters are totally unlikeable. The plot is unoriginal. This show is the most unappealing drama on TV today. I'm surprised that great shows like "The Simpson," "Malcolm in the Middle," and "The X-Files" are on the same network as this piece of garbage.

    The real problem with the show is that the writers and casting agents seem to be working at odds with each other. The actors and actresses are universally attractive, even the youngest son (although the dialogue and plot would have you believe otherwise), and the kids get into trouble with a listless kind of malice. Problems are tidy, resolved swiftly, and include healthy dialogue and reconciliation. It's all far too tidy.If the producer was aiming for a show with the texture and quality of thirtysomething, Get Real isn't going to make it. The show is trying too hard to snag all the demographics available - the rebellious female teen who isn't ready to let go, the surfer duuuude with a sensitive side, the angsty adolescent boy with mildly-weird issues around dating, the buff dad with the wandering eye, the still-pretty mom with the midlife crisis, and the dapper grandmother dispensing Zen-like advice to one and all. There's already too much character development going on to then add situational trauma like a "rave" where the kids get up to no good and return home late.A show like My So-Called Life, by contrast, left the weekly crises in the background and focused on the characters' reactions to each other. Get Real presents life as if it was a series of shiny moral questions to solve and move beyond. There's not enough reality to brace up the name...itself another attempt to catch the eye of a jaded Gen-Y viewer.
