Crappy film

A Major Disappointment

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

IF that doesn't sell you, let me just say that this show is deceptively simple and deeply brilliant. Andy Daly's performance as Forrest is absolutely pitch perfect, by the end of the show you really feel like you've gotten to know and understand him and love him despite his many, many flaws.His pure devotion to his "reviews" to the extent that he completely ruins everything good or decent about his own life is always difficult to watch but my sides are usually sore from laughing by the end. Having not seen the Australian version I can't speak to that, but missing or dismissing this show because it's an American knock-off would be doing yourself a great disservice.

This sad, unfunny snore-fest is NOT original or refreshing as so many people here are claiming it is.With just a tiny effort to know what they are talking about before posting their review, ironic I know, they would have easily found out that this "remake" is really a direct "ripoff" of a brilliant Australian show from just a few years ago.It's all over YouTube and has was so controversial in the first place it was nearly banned from TV in Australia.This show doesn't even come up with its own topics to "review". The first episode of this dreck uses the same topics of its much funnier and, indeed, original counterpart. How is that original? Andy Daly is boring. His forced "acting" style is so awkward I couldn't help but feel embarrassed for him. His "lovely assistant" is just not necessary to the show and is clearly only there to be the token "pretty girl" all shows in the US seem to require.All the extras suck, as well. It's as if they all went to the same attended the School for Wooden Actors and even failed at that.Since the ideas are a ripoff of the original it's pathetic that the writing of this show is so poorly and lazily done. They had great source material to draw from and they couldn't even to anywhere near a quality job.Just skip this mess and watch the real original and refreshing Review with Myles Barlow on youtube.

This show is a weak reboot of the Australian show. It might have been better if Daly didn't play it as a fake character and actually performed some of the acts depicted, since fake reality TV is already a tiresome trope, it might have been a bit more entertaining if they used real people instead of extras posing as members of the public. It would have been better to really see him messed up on cocaine, or release a sex tape, the show is so weak its the only thing that can save it. Megan Stevenson is an annoying generic bubble-head, who essentially has no role on the show, other than to state the obvious to Daly, while auditioning for her next piece of sheet on the Fox News and Friends leg flesh stool.

This guy doesn't get comedy. Amy schumer is a great comedian, but her show is trying to shove "funny" down your throat so hard that it loses credibility. The same goes for the kroll show. Review is a fresh concept and Andy pulls off laughs without trying so hard you shudder from the douche chills. I felt like it had just enough painful awkwardness without going overboard and relying on it to carry the show.I honestly thought the show was gonna be dumb when i saw the previews but I laughed non stop through the whole first episode. If it was any other host I think the show would be a flop but Andy is a perfect fit and plays the part flawlessly IMO. I give it a MILLION STARS!!!!!!!
