    A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

    I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

    Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

    I was born in the 80's but I grew up watching re-runs of the Match Game. I didn't expect this one to be as good but I also didn't expect it to be so perverted.

    In the 1970's I was a huge fan of "Match Game". It was a fun game to watch. The original line up of stars included Charles Nelson Riley, Brett Somers Richard Dawson with our beloved host Gene Rayburn. The game was fun to watch. What was great about the game was that you didn't need to be a Mensa member to win just have a funny bone. On this show Two contestants competed on each episode. The object was to match the answers of the six celebrity panelists to fill-in- the-blank statements. The question were often very silly but funny. It was not uncommon for each contestant to run the board and match all 6 celebrities. This made the show fun watch because most of the time at home the television audience would most likely have that some answer. Tie breakers happened all the time and this made the show exciting. Now in 2016 ABC revived the show but so far its a creative mess. Most of the celebrities are not funny. The questions asked in each round we are lucky either contestant can match 2 of the celebrities. Running the board never seems to happen. The questions are too complicated and stupid. The bigger crime however is that most of the questions are not funny!This is the main problem with the show. When the contestants can not match any of the stars it makes for a boring show. The show also has celebrities that really are not funny and they always slow down the show. I love Martha Stewart but her answers were never funny. Because the contestants are not matching the stars on the show it makes the show boring. The audience at home is also most likely not matching the stars. The bad questions and unfunny answers makes the audience at home bored. They need to rethink their questions. The questions are the key ingredient. When contestants only match 1 star it makes the show boring. In the old days most of the contestants would run the board which made for an entertaining experience. I love this game. I just don't like this version of it. In my opinion they need to keep 3 "Funny Stars" as permanent panelist. They also need better questions and not tailor then to panelist on the show at the time. That was something the original show never did.

    First, take other ratings with a grain of salt because many people are simply offended that Alec Baldwin, an actor, hosts this and portrays a satirical Donald Trump on another show (because, you know, he's an actor....). Second, it comes on at 10 for a reason--it's not for the kids to watch. But finally, this show is incredibly funny. The guests are not has-beens as petty people have said. They have some of the best guests I've seen who provide hilarious commentary to the show. Alec Baldwin shows off his fantastic wit brilliantly in this fun game show. The banter between him and the celebrity guests actually have my sides hurting from laughter each time I watch, and I'm not someone who laughs at just anything. The fact that the banter isn't scripted makes it impressive, to me, that these celebs can be this funny with such ease. Bravo for a terrific show

    I was excited that this game show was revived as it was a good memory I had watching with my grandparents. I love Alec Baldwin so that was a bonus. So disappointed in the show. Alec was uncomfortable to watch as a game show host. He would be better as a guest where he can be more himself. Then seeing Rosie as a guest, I knew it would be downhill. The questions we ridiculous ...then the turn off was getting political and throwing in the Trump question. If you want to keep viewers, leave out the political questions unless it's even and not bias...and at least funny. My suggestion is to have Alec As a guest, have Wayne Brady host, and never have Rosie back.
