Great Film overall

Best movie ever!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Well, what can one really expect? In a nutshell, NEVER turn a popular T.V. series into a movie. Nine out ten times...It's not nearly as good(not true to the original/bad actors/actresses). Leave "classic" T.V. show alone! I saw this. It was indeed, horrible. I could'nt watch the entire run, though...it was too contrived, like most of today's(post 1990)television is, anyway. Look what they did to "Miami Vice". They made a movie out of it, &...it bombed. No wonder. "Colin Ferrell" playing "Don Johnson's" part? Please! There is only ONE Don Johnson...and Ferrell could'nt come close to doing that part justice. Ferrell just did'nt have the moxie & swagger to pull off as Johnson did. Jamie Foxx" as "Tubbs"? Jamie Foxx is a decent actor(much better than Colin Ferrell is, anyway), but again... The "Partridge Family" is a classic T.V. series & it should just be...left be. VH1 has done a great job on many of their specials, though. This just was'nt...one of them, sadly.

How did they ever think they could top a cast that included Shirley Jones, David Cassidy, and Danny Bonaduce (who did return for this)? This was unwatchable. Horrid. If you can't say anything nice about something on IMDb, you still have to fill ten lines.What is there to say? Oh, I need a few more lines?Okay, it stunk. The original was better.I can't believe they did this. Why? Why?Okay?I'm serious, IMDb, why do you make me write ten lines about this abomination?My god. What is next?Sheesh.

Although the remake was not true to form, (what remake is) and also too campy, the actors in the show were paid to do a job, and did not control scripts, music, etc. I think it's really harsh to judge them and the range of their talents by a poorly done pilot that they had no control over. I can personally vouch for the extreme range and talent of one of the actors, and although it may have been a poor choice of vehicles for them, they all performed to the best of their given roles. Blame VH1 or the writers and directors for their part in this. Not the actors. Hopefully, someone with the talent to write and direct a future remake of a beloved classic will take this where it needs to be. Let's remember- even if The Brady Bunch movies were not exactly true to form- they were amusing and even managed to make some money.

This show absolutely SUCKED!!!!!!! VH1 totally ruined The Partridge Family. Some changes they made:1. Tracey is now OLDER than Chris. 2. Ruben is obnoxious. 3. Mr Partridge is alive.. but now is GAY! (Mr Partridge turned out to be Danny Bonaduce).It's been a while since I've seen this but these are the things that stood out in my mind. Stick with the original Partridge Family until VH1 can do it right.. or let someone else do it for them. VH1 has proved they can't do it correctly. It's a shame all the hype VH1 gave this show and it turned out to be such a bomb. What's even more surprising is that, Shirley Jones, David Cassidy, & Danny Bonaduce actually participated in this God awful show. (Hmmm wonder why they haven't voiced their opinions on this show.) Thank GOD the original series is coming out on DVD... (If you've missed it, Season 1 and 2 are already out).
