Purely Joyful Movie!

One of the best films i have seen

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I think the show is awesome and although it deals with the difficult subject of eating disorders, I think that the point isn't it? I mean, people are talking about the show, which leads to conversations about eating disorders which is what we need to happen. It's breaking the stigma attached to these types of disorders, that people would otherwise not want to talk about. Not to mention men and eating disorders. Yes! It does exist. Moreover, it does it through comedy, which will likely reach more people. Eric Shaeffer got this one right. This show premieres in Canada March 8th and I would suggest that you watch it. To all you crazy hard ass critics....relax already!

what i find peculiar is in a world where "reality" TV prevails these people are worried about a show that portrays how we are all subjected to the pressure to look beautiful and if we don't fit the mold we are considered outcasts. i like the show for moments like when Dan (who is ashamed of his overeating and probably weighs 300 pounds) calls Sam and gets marriage advice and Sam tells him he is the luckiest guy in the world. and even though it is supposed to be a comedy it gives some glimpse into what its like to live with an eating disorder........ surviving day to day. i think it also shows how people with any addiction will stick together to keep each other in check so, to those people who are offended by the show, maybe you should look at other things to be offended by (may i suggest "fear factor" or "so you think you can dance" or "dancing with the stars") because i find those shows have much less entertainment value than "starved"

I have read the other comments and I just want to say that while eating disorders are a serious issue (I have one myself), being too serious and cynical is pretty serious also. What's the saying..."Laughter is the best medicine"? While the show isn't hilarious, I think it takes a very serious subject and lightens the mood around it a little. I really feel that people take themselves and their "problems" a little too seriously most of the time.That's just my humble opinion...I'm sure someone out there without a sense of humor will take offense. Too bad! I mean really, now. There is famine in, what, 2/3rds of the world, hurricanes and tsunamis are destroying parts of our planet and killing thousands, and there are actually people getting upset over a stupid TV show. Here's an idea: if you don't like what "Starved" has to say, don't watch it, but don't act like it's supposed to be some show like Intervention that is helping people. And, I think that saying that people with eating disorders would be offended or possibly even cause them problems is saying that people with eating disorders are stupid. As I previously said, I have an eating disorder and I am much more offended by people assuming that I am too dumb to realize that this is just a TV show...not real life!

Let me first start off by saying that I don't get offended by much. I try to keep an open mind. And I don't think that this show is as offensive as it is totally disgusting. It also lacks in humor. What I can't understand is that an entire show is dedicated to eating disorders. Week after week, eating disorders. How in the world is that funny or entertaining week after week? The cop that abuses his power to take food from retailers so that he can binge and purge is at the highlight of this ridiculous show. How is watching someone use a police baton to force food to come up funny? It's disturbing and I truly hope that this show crashes and burns.
