WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
nelliebly-78320 We all have our favorite "happy place" shows which we watch over and over again when we want to visit an uncomplicated town with quirky neighbors and personable stars. For our family, these include Gilmore Girls, Hart of Dixie and Northern Exposure. Weld and its people fit right in that company. The show has solid performances and good, if predictable, writing. But that's the thing about happy place shows; their problems are easily solved with a lot of love and support. If you're feeling down or just want to spend an hour or two in a warm eccentric town, then I highly recommend 800 Words. I can't wait for the new season!
WyattWright This show is one of the best comedy-dramas in years. The actors are superb and the plot is edge of your seat enjoyable, wanting you constantly wanting another episode. It does a great job of placing the viewer in the center of the action and truly cheering on the characters. I just wish that Season 3 was available in the United States.
Marie Morgan Yes, I know teenage girls are difficult - doesn't mean I want to watch it for entertainment. She has no redeeming qualities, has a low monotone voice, constantly complaining and being mean to everyone around her. She ruins the "feel-good charming" aspect of the show. Plus there is just no compelling reason for this family to live here and they really really seem to hate everything about it. So....?
dandhterrett For anyone who is from, lived, visited, NZ, then this show is a charming mix of people who are lost and find their way through others; relationships, communication and humour; family and friends are hard to navigate, especially teenagers, and the loss of a parent. Well done to all involved, this has been a great show to follow.
