Best movie of this year hands down!

The greatest movie ever made..!

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Like many shows the first few seasons were better than the last two or three. There's only so much teenage angst I can take and some of it was pretty contrived. The writing on this show was too uneven, though I highly recommend the episodes on the piano lesson, the choir practice, and the math teacher, possibly some of the best writing in TV history. By the last season I wanted to throw tomatoes at the narrator. If I had to hear any more end-of-episode tripe like "just as in the spring the flowers bloom, boys everywhere are on the cusp of manhood" I was going to barf. From the other glowing reviews, looks like I may be in the minority here.

The wonder years covered the life of a young boy growing up in a lovely leafy suburb in America.With every episode covering a real life situation that many of us face, you couldn't help but be attached.Young Kevin Arnolds life is covered from a small boy growing into a teenager, almost a young man.With topics covering major world wide incidents and trends the series last six years but covers more like 15 years. With great soundtracks played throughout with leaving no doubt what era the Arnold's are living in. With love, girlfriends, brothers and sisters, school and friends and family you will relate.I watched this every week without fail, I'm yet to see another show that would cover all these growing pain issues and more. Classic writing and acting.A real shame it was never released on DVD due to the high costs of the music royalties.

The Wonder Years won one Golden Globe and several awards. The Wonder Years was innovative in that the story-line was different than other shows at that time and this helped lead hugely to the show's success. The television series went from 1988 – 1993 and was created by Carol Black and Neal Marlens.Fred Savage (winner of the Q Award - Best Actor in a Quality Comedy Series 1989) plays Kevin Arnold, who resides in an average American suburb. The time setting of Wonder Years is 1968 – 1973 and features Kevin's life from the age of 12 to 17. Kevin's dad Jack Arnold (Dan Lauria) is a defence contractor and his mom Norma Arnold (Alley Mills) is a home-maker (I know, super offensive eh?). The story also features Kevin's on and off girlfriend Winnie (Danica McKellar). Their on and off relationship portrays relationships in reality in the dating world with different relationships in the mix. The story line is about Kevin's journey from adolescence to adulthood with his friend Paul (Josh Saviano). Kevin has an older brother and sister: Wayne (Jason Hervey) and Karen (Olivia d'Abo). The story is narrated in Kevin's adult voice by Daniel Stearn.The Wonder Years was a big hit in the late eighties, early nineties and was one of the twenty best show's of the eighties (TV Guide). The Wonder Years was an all time family favourite and even in today's changing world with the changing family, this show still holds dear to my heart.If you're like me you felt Kevin's angst every time he was betrayed by Winnie.

I must be the last guy on earth to watch this show. I'm in my 27th year & watching the show for the first time & still I find it beautiful. Now all this may seem unusual for a guy of my age but for me it's like going back to my high school/college & re-living the days I miss the most. And the thing is, after all these years....... I still look back....... with wonder. This show brought back the memories of my first crush, my first kiss, my heartbreak & my moving on which is how life works for most of us. Only a few of us get the love of their lives rest just move on.Enough about my life, now comes my review. This is one of those shows where characters are realistic and the writing is really deep & IMO, this is better than any of the coming of age movies or shows which I have seen. It would be unfair to compare it with any of modern day shows, it would be like comparing apples & oranges. But I tell you one thing, if this is an apple then it is the best apple I ever had....... It's the apple of my eye. I haven't seen such a thoughtful act by any of the writers in a long time & I'm short of words when it comes to explaining the feel I experience after each episode. I don't know what is it, but I feel some kind of sensation in my heart whenever I think about this show. Heartwarming or heart-melting aren't good enough words to describe it. Only if Kevin & Winnie could end up together somehow, it would have given me some kind of satisfaction (which won't happen....I read the spoilers). I remember an episode in which Kevin wants to hold Winnie at a dance and forget everything as times were changing and so were they. It was nostalgic to me, I had same thoughts once. Many of those things happen to us & showing those things perfectly is the beauty of this show. I would highly recommend this show for kids of age 12-17 who are over-conscious about their image & get things wrong in the process. This show will be of great value for kids as it teaches them to be playful & not being conscious which itself makes things alright. As for child actors, Fred Savage(Kevin),Josh Saviano(Paul) & Danica Mckellar(Winnie) have done a great job- you guys rock. Dan Lauria(Kevin's dad) & Allie Mills(Kevin's mom) look very natural & they are perfect for their characters. Jason Harvey(Wayne) is funny and irritating like most of the brothers. The characters shown are around us in our daily lives. I almost forgot to mention Fred's voice- Daniel Stern-best narration ever, & by ever I mean ever...... better than How I Met Your Mother. I cannot mention every member of the star-cast but all the cameos are just perfect.& yes, love stories are incomplete without good music & background score for this show is simply the best, hands down! That kind of music can return smiles on our faces (as quoted by the Beatles). I can't remember any other show in which I smiled throughout. I know the end is not what we would like it to be, but this show never meant to be a fairytale.I would say that I missed a great show for years & I would advise you not to do the same.
