Too many fans seem to be blown away

From my favorite movies..

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Pretentiously angst-ridden teenager shows have always taken themselves way too seriously - and that leaves them open to a parody. Grosse Point delivered such a masterful send-up of life on and off one of these TV shows. The characters were well-crafted, and played by people who were very talented. They were based on real people in teen angst shows. Hunter Fallow, the kleptomaniac prima donna was loosely based on Shannon Daughtery; Quinton King, the sex addict was loosely based on Jason Priestly; Courtney Scott, the clueless ditzy blonde was loosely based on Courtney Thorne-Smith. Funniest of them all was Dave the stand-in, who had to take on the most stupidest of jobs for pay (such as being in the Michigan J. Frog costume for a party in one episode.)It lasted too short a time to really get a good following. I'm sure that if WB had treated it like NBC treated Cheers (in Cheers' first season, it was the lowest rated show in its time slot) Grosse Pointe would still be around today.

I think the main thing to keep in mind here is that this show is a satire of the schlock aimed at the self-esteem-lacking teen market. That's what makes it a very smart series. That, and the fact that it is made by someone who obviously knows the genre inside out, adds value. Is it true that Mr Spelling tried to have this taken off the air because he was worried that bits of it were [allegedly] aimed at a certain cleavage-challenged teen queen? Shame! They deserve to have the fun poked out of them at every opportunity, I think. To quote a line from the last episode I saw, they can all "go home and cry into their big bags of money".

This tv show is gold. It is the best (and I mean the best) t.v. show on right now. Since I mm from latin america the season finale was on just days ago, and I am not sure if it is going to be on next season. I just ant to say: How many good revews and how many bad have you read? there is only one that says it's not good, everyone else think that this tv show is the best. It became my favorite since the pilot episode. The show has low ratings because its on sunday night. Who watches tv on sunday anyway? Put it on another day, and there is no doubt it will become the highest ratde show ever. I like it because it's fun and it makes me laugh, and I was just hooked after the pilot. I only tune in once a week to watch two shows, FRIENDS, and GROSSE POINTE, and I like grosse pointe better. I'm keeping my fingers crossed to see this show next season. Congratulations!!!! Darren Star, Irene Molly, Al Santos, Lindsay Sloane, Bonnie Somerville, Kohl Sudduth, Kyle Howard, Nat Faxon and William Ragsdale!!! This show rocks, and even if I don't see you next season, I will always remember my favorite show, But I sure hope you're on next season, and next 10 seasons if it's possible!

I've always been a huge Darren Star fan. Everything this man touches turns into gold...or at least silver. I loved 90210 (up until they all went to college, then it become a bore, but hey, that's when Star left) and had a passion for Melrose Place. Everything, characters and story lines, were so exaggerated that it made it so much fun. And now Grosse Pointe. This series is so smart, funny, clever, hilarious... The characters are extremely interesting and so are their characters in the Grosse Pointe within Grosse Pointe. The first episode did it for me already when 'Becky' (Irene Molloy) gets into a car accident. On her hospital bed she's being told by the doctors that she lost the baby. Her response: "I always lose everything!". It became better and better and every episode surpasses the other one. But now there's rumours that the show will be taken off the air? Please, are they nuts?!?!?!? Get Survivor or Temptation Island off the little screen but keep your hands off GROSSE POINTE!
