Purely Joyful Movie!

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

MOST AMAZING SHOW EVER!!! MUST WATCH!!! It is so good luck wow! Every single season is amazing (apart from the 6th)! This one is amazing. If you haven'e watched it plz do!

After two rough seasons of Total Drama: "All-Stars" and "Pahkitew Island"; the "Total Drama" series redeems itself with the "Ridonculous Race".Yes, Don (the new host this year) takes Owen, Noah, Geoff, and Leonard around the world with 32 new faces. The series objective is to compete in culture-related challenges, ranging from walking in the dessert in Morocco to tango dancing in Argentina. The team that makes it to the last chill zone wins $1M in Canadian Dollars.Characterization: Don is several times better than Chris McLean, on account of making things fair for everyone. Example being is that he penalized the Ice Dancers for knocking out the Sister's helmet light (they won that leg, despite a penalty) and disassembling the train (they would've been sent home if not for the Dater Haters). However, with help from Sanders and MacArthur, Don finally gets to eliminate the Ice Dancers in a close race. With Chris, on the other hand, he lets some people get away with cheating. The most infamous example in this regard is Duncan, with the lighter in Boney Island and the "Fairy Tale" challenge in the following season.About the returning contestants, there were several downsides to the first Ridonculous Race season: 1. None of the girls from past "Total Drama" seasons come back for the race, as the four returning contestants were all guys (Owen, Noah, Geoff, and Leonard). 2. Nobody that competed on "Revenge of the Island" come back for "Ridonculous Race". Apart from the returning contestants being all male, three come from "Total Drama Island", whilst "Pahkitew Island" only has one contestant. Leonard is the only bland person from the four, given that Zoey and Mike (both from the "Revenge" cast) do not compete this year.As for the finale, there were several improvements from the two past finales:1. Don brings back everybody to watch the final outcome. However, only five (six including the Ice Dancers, who lost to the Cadets) teams get to speak about the finale. That's right, no fart balloons, no random selections, none of that.2. Don doesn't negatively impact the final two in any way.I must say that TDRR has improve the Total Drama series back to its original glory. I wish Cartoon Network and Teletoon the best of luck on producing more "Total Drama" and "Ridonculous Race".

I just saw Total Drama: The Ridonculous Race, and I've also seen every episode of Total Drama. Just before I start the review, major spoil alert. So if you haven't seen this show, and want to actually watch it to find out what happened, do not see this review. Anyway, so first off, I overall liked Total Drama better, but this is pretty cool. I'll go for the reasons why I like, and dislike this series. About 4 characters (Geoff, Owen, Noah, and Leonard) from the original characters return for this show. But that's not a bad thing. Most of the new characters are rather likable. That, or you just love to hate them. On an opposite note, you just hate them. I mean, I'm glad that Geoff, Owen, and Noah from the first season of the Total Drama returned, but all three of them seem a little less intelligent than they did in the original series. I never really liked Noah in general, but fortunately, he gets a little less sarcastic on this show. That, and I ended up rooting for him because he developed a crush on a character named Emma. As new characters, Emma, and her sister Kitty are likable. Well, at least Kitty was. Emma, at first, was a total jerk. But as she started her relationship with Noah, she got more likable. Now for the last returning character, Leonard, who was on the last season, Total Drama: Pahkitew Island. I thought that was the weakest season. People say that Leonard was in both seasons for absolutely no reason, but honestly, I think he's funny. His belief in wizards just makes me laugh. It's his partner Tammy that I hate. Actually, I don't really hate her. I just never got to know her character. Then again, that was mostly because Leonard, and Tammy were the first ones voted off. The next two voted off are some of the first adult contestants in the Total Drama franchise. They were Gerry, and Pete, the tennis rivals. I dislike them. They jokes were simply unfunny, and they were generally annoying. I'm pretty glad they were voted off early. I pretty much hated how Chet, and Lorenzo, the Step-Brothers, were always fighting, and I never really paid attention to them. Tom, and Jen, the Fashion Bloggers, were bland, and like the Step-Brothers, I never paid attention to them. And as for the Geniuses, Ellody, and Mary, I never really got the point of them. They almost seemed to be opposites. Mary didn't speak until their last episode, and Ellody talked all the time. To other characters who really annoyed me were the Adversity Twins, Jay, and Mickey. No offense to people who face challenges, but everything for them was so dramatic. Another kid character who got on my nerves was Taylor, the daughter on the Mother and Daughter team. She was annoying spoiled brat, and I was so relieved when she was eliminated. I feel so bad for her mother, Kelly. And by the way, no offense to goths, but the Goths, Ennui, and Crimson, just freaked me out. Also, no offense to vegans, but they totally annoyed me. I mean, Laurie, and Miles just went overboard with being vegans, such as believing in various spirits. It just got tiring after a while. Also, one of the Rockers, Spud, got on my nerves after a while. He was constantly letting down his teammate, Rock. I wondered why Rock picked Spud as his teammate. I haven't talked about Geoff in a while, but his teammate on his team the Surfers, Brody, was a little dumb, but still likable. Now, my favorite female character on this show was MacArthur on the Police Cadets. She was tough-witted, strong, and interesting. I also like her partner Sanders. If you're wondering, I saw the ending where the Police Cadets won instead of the Surfers. I though it was a pretty good ending overall. My favorite couple was probably (eventually) Carrie, and Devin. I liked the "will they, or will they not" story line between them. I mean, they originated as the Best Friends, hence their team name. Speaking of couples, I liked the Daters, Ryan, and Stephanie, but after they started fighting, they got pretty annoying. Well, mostly Stephanie did. She kept bossing Ryan around like nobody's business, and I ended up feeling bad for Ryan. Now, I think the best villains on this show were the the Ice Dancers, Jacques, and Josee. They were pretty intimidating, especially Josee. But my favorite character on this show is Junior, from the Father and Son team. I'm about his age, so I can really relate to him. He's constantly embarrassed by his father, Dwayne, and I can relate to him on that. I'm constantly embarrassed by my mother. I think Junior might just be my favorite character in the entire Total Drama Franchise. And finally, a reality show isn't complete without its host. Don (No last name) is the host of the show, hence the title The Ridonculous Race. He's apparently "as smooth as a piece of toast". In my opinion, he's also as bland as a piece of toast. Obviously I liked Chris, and Chef, and Don eventually got on my nerves. He's too concerned about being the perfect host, and isn't evil enough that you love to hate him. I liked most of the challenges, and the characters. Even though the show isn't as good as its predecessor, but it's pretty good overall. The show's worth watching at least once.

Being a huge fan of the series, I decided to give this spin off a chance and I had to say, this spin off is pretty good. The drama used in this spin-off is much like its predecessor, the teams are great. This is also a very good take on a popular CBS reality show, The Amazing Race (which is also another good show). My favorite teams have to be the best friends, the fashion bloggers, the father and son, the sisters, the cadets, the geniuses, the surfer dudes, and the vegans. The host Don is also good though Total Drama works better with Chris. Don sounds just like Jonsey and that's because he's voiced by TerryMcGurrin. If you enjoyed both the CBS series, Surivor and Total Drama, I recommend watching this one.
