The Worst Film Ever

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

A group of Persian refugees fleeing the Iranian Revolution of 1979 arrive in California and embrace or define the American Dream. They drink their faces off, have petty squabbles, cover themselves in jewels and gold, have extensive plastic surgery and the totally mad and open gay guy, must be the envy of every gay person in Iran; I think they kill people there, but if I'm wrong, I know they don't accept a gay lifestyle. This is the best way for America to overthrow Iran; show how much fun it is to be Western and free.I only see this series when traveling and in hotels or motels with cable and always look forward to seeing their antics. I'm not clear on where their money comes from as they don't seem to work, so I presume they were fortunate enough to load up their coffers before fleeing Iran. I don't think this show costs a lot to produce ---perhaps that's where their money is from?---- so I suspect it will have a long run and we'll be blessed to watch the cast grow old and die over the coming years. Having lived 20 + years in southern California, I can see this format being adapted to a wide range of transplants that make America so culturally diverse; Israeli's of Fairfax, Russian Oligarchs of Rodeo Drive, Chinese of Monterrey Park, Japanese of Palos Verdes, Koreans of Cypress, MS-13 of MacArthur Park....it's endless, but it will take a lot to top the Shahs of Sunset

Beyond scandal, this show teeters across a thin pleat bookended by chasms opprobrium. Jaw-dropping is an understatement. Heartache and pain are seamlessly link merged with fun romps and sidesplitting laughter. Juicy moments of tantrums are quickly squelched by deep sensitivity. Ah well...haters will hate. Arguing and verbal sparring are the fundamental foundations of successful reconciliation and a fruitful partnership. One of the best out there. Sure feelings are kicked around like unsuspecting seagulls...its the nature of the beast. Farm animals are not on this show, too bad. This is my kind of program. Most of the show is formulaic...just like the rest of 'Reality TV...so you're fired. Give me a break and shower these folks with countless EMMYs. They may not deserve them, but neither do I and I want one. Go forth and watch this program. If you like it, then you win...if you don't, 'HA' you should have not read this review. This show is only for the serious art lover. Like "The Birdman", only us narcissistic sycophants will blossom in its sunshine. There are not many people fishing on this show either...ah well. Enjoy

I am addicted to this show. It is an interesting look into a culture that is private and hidden from a white man like me. I've dealt with Persians in my career and they are always motivated and intelligent people, but Shah's of Sunset Persians are f___ing over the top crazy. I hope their behavior is overly dramatized because they have cameras in their faces, because there are some serious personal problems on parade here. Aside from that this is a fresh concept and non-stop action that comes across as genuine. As another review wrote, its is a train wreck, and we all like to watch train wrecks, right?Looking forward to Season 3 - if it happens.

This show is not a positive look on the Persian Americans in Los Angeles, California. They fled persecution, wars, and death in Iran to settle in Beverly Hills. Many of the cast mates are friends from Beverly Hills High School. Let's fact it, they're not normal in the first place. While I can only imagine the possible outrage from this show's existence, I find it interesting that Ryan Seacrest is in charge of production. Usually it's soul-less Andy Cohen but not this time. Hopefully unlike Cohen, Seacrest doesn't have painful reunion shows to watch. Anyway, the three women and three men have a balance. Reza is a Persian American homosexual real estate agent and his office mate and best friend is MJ, a Persian American woman. Asa is a Persian American woman and an artist who is probably my favorite. She's more concerned about her art rather than the others' opinions. Sammy and Mike are both Persian American and Jewish men in the show. Both men are interested in women not Persian nor Jewish. While this show is an interesting look into another culture and often a foreign land which is Los Angeles, the show does try to explain Persians who are really Iranians but they don't go by that. Anyway, this show has some moments but I'll watch this train wreck. It's not as bad as the housewives shows.
