I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

warning spoiler alert... even though the title says it all :) At first thought I wondered how are they going to pull it off. It really does sound Boring. But after watching the first episode I was hooked. I guess it didn't hurt I like all the actors and they all did such a great job and the writers did a outstanding job on the script.This is almost like watching my family. I think there is one in every family that allows their kids to get away with everything. And the breast feeding lol thank goodness not in my family but I have seen this and in public. Not for me thank You. I think Harry just did what most of us would like to do with children like this :) Not that I am condoning to ever hit another persons child. But there were times when I felt like it. The story is around The Slap but it is much more than that. One episode left for me to watch. Win Lose or draw... I think everyone is going to lose on this one. If you are on the fence on watching The Slap. Try it you'll like it!!

I'm only half way through second episode and I'm in shock over Melissa George's character. She sits nursing a grown child who is obviously so ridiculously spoiled that virtually every thing he does is just darling in her eyes and he does no wrong. He is able to be rude and disruptive in addition to purposefully damaging the hosts property and his behavior is never corrected other than for her to shove her boob in his face and stroke his hair. One sick twisted mother there.Everyone attending that birthday party wanted to slap the child. I would rather slap the parents, the mother for obvious reasons and her husband for blindly going along with anything she says. The mother has some very serious emotional problems that leave her raging irrationally herself at the very idea someone put his hands on her child. He needs some serious behavior adjusting and learning consequences of his actions. I would have so much sympathy for an educator getting stuck with such a child in her class. It would shake the child's world to the core to be in a situation where 2 dozen other children are loved by their parents and have just as much right to be there and participate as he does. There would be a meltdown on day one of preschool which would have Melissa George's character charging in, bra-less, ready to get freaky with her child again.As for Harry, he could have gone in there on Valium and humbly offered apology and would have been met with the same disdain and "how dare you" attitude from Rosie and Gary because they have no intention of letting it go because they are out for blood from him.There will be no winners in this series. And its all because of a spoiled rotten child being allowed or rather encouraged by his parents to be as bratty as he wishes because it gives them a chance to coddle and baby him, because they are sick and need to attend parenting classes.Its not like me to jump on a soapbox but as soon as I saw a child with a mouth full of teeth sucking on the breast and turning away only to sneer and say something rude to an adult with no interception from either parent, my back was up right along with Harry's. I cannot believe there is a judge who would convict him of anything with regards to what occurred at the BBQ.

The brattily misbehaving child that gets slapped is only the tip of the iceberg in this plethora of inconsiderate, rude, prejudiced and generally unlikeable people.The main character is infatuated by his (too young to legally have a beer) baby sitter, who compounds the problem by showing up to his birthday party - an inappropriate choice in an even more inappropriate relationship. The mother who brings piles of food and comments on how the Jews do it (Dessert? Something in boxes at any rate) so much better, and who converses with her family members in Greek in front of everyone. The friends who raise this abominable child and seem to feel that allowing him to do anything he wants is appropriate lest they stifle his self-expression. The cousin who shows up in a Land Rover and is worried about it being "jacked" in this neighbourhood.There are other, more peripheral characters that I haven't yet come to know in any depth, but somehow I doubt that to know them will lead me to love them.

Having just watched the Australian version of "The Slap," I was interested in seeing how the US version would compare. It was quite a disappointment. The Australian version was cast much better & key story elements were developed much better as well (for example the tension and chaos building up to the slap was perfect in the Au version, but completely unbelievable in the US version). Regarding Casting: Jonathan LaPaglia, who plays Hector in the Au version is a much better fit. Also Alex Dimitriades as Hector's Cousin Harry in the Au version is a much better fit as the sort of short tempered hot- head.There are many great actors in the US version- but they are unfortunately either cast in the wrong role (in a few cases) or do not work for this series at all (most cases). Thomas Sadoski is a talented actor, but is an example of miscasting. He could have been a decent fit as Hector, but not the correct fit for the role of Gary. Peter Sarsgaard and Zachary Quinto are also talented actors, but do not work for this series at all. I guess I have to also question the directing. The entire initial episode was completely rushed, disjointed, and simply not believable. (Case in point- the tension between Quinto & Sarsgaard seemed almost joking rather than heated). I think both are good actors, so the problem is likely one that falls to casting or directing?There are many other problems I could mention but suffice it to say- If you are at all interested in this series, skip the US version and watch the AU version..... Or at the very least, watch the first episode of each and see if you agree (It will only take 1 episode of each to make up your mind).
