Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreOne of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
... View MoreYes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
... View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I'm 100% serious when I tell you Ron James said this joke. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHOW. my wife broke up with me, took my house, son and half of my money because I accidentally recorded this show over the Breaking Bad finale. This show is the SARS of television. I became physically ill for a month and a half after watching mere seconds of this monstrosity. When I returned from my illness and warned my peers at work, one of them began to cry, he told me that he lost his legs to the Ron James Show. It was so boring that his legs fell asleep and cut off blood flow to everything below his waist. His manhood did not make it.
... View MoreUnfortunately this show is just not very good. I wanted to like it and I tried to like it but there was just nothing in any of the episodes I saw that made me like this show even a little bit. Some of the stand up comedy that Ron James does on the show is OK but it is very short, has nothing to do with the rest of the show which is all made up of sketches, and just makes it more obvious how completely awful and void of jokes the rest of the show is. Ron James is not a very good performer outside of doing his stand up comedy sadly and the other acting is very bad too. The writing of the sketches is terrible. The jokes are like they come straight out of a child's how-to-write-a-joke book with jokes you can see coming like a freight train.
... View MoreThis show is just very bad. The sketches are really lame including scenes where Ron James (who is in real life about sixty years old or so) plays a little kid and another where he voices characters who are supposed to be his family in animated short sketches. I guess we are supposed to just laugh because an old man is pretending to be a kid? I don't know what they are thinking but it fails miserably this is some of the worst comedy I have seen in a while on Canadian TV. There is also a lot of stand-up comedy on the show where Ron James tells jokes, this is much better than the rest of the show (the sketches etc) but it's still only for real fans of Ron James, personally I find his comedy might work for older people like my parents but he's pretty whiny and his comedy is a bit too basic for me.
... View MoreAs an enthusiastically devoted fan of Ron James' coast-to-coast specials, I was looking forward to a continuing series with the same earthily crisp, yet lavishly elegant writing.This series reveals just how much work Ron must have devoted to his hour-long specials, and how difficult it truly must be to produce high-quality material for a weekly series.Other fans of Ron's work will remember 'Blackfly' and join me in headshakingly similar disappointment.His specials have provided me with dozens of gifts, this series, just another federally funded (unfunny) joke.
