Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Sober-Friend In the 1970's I was a huge fan of "Match Game". It was a fun game to watch. The original line up of stars included Charles Nelson Riley, Brett Somers Richard Dawson with our beloved host Gene Rayburn. The game was fun to watch. What was great about the game was that you didn't need to be a Mensa member to win just have a funny bone. On this show Two contestants competed on each episode. The object was to match the answers of the six celebrity panelists to fill-in- the-blank statements. The question were often very silly but funny. It was not uncommon for each contestant to run the board and match all 6 celebrities. This made the show fun watch because most of the time at home the television audience would most likely have that some answer. Tie breakers happened all the time and this made the show exciting. Now in 2016 ABC revived the show but so far its a creative mess. Most of the celebrities are not funny. The questions asked in each round we are lucky either contestant can match 2 of the celebrities. Running the board never seems to happen. The questions are too complicated and stupid. The bigger crime however is that most of the questions are not funny!This is the main problem with the show. When the contestants can not match any of the stars it makes for a boring show. The show also has celebrities that really are not funny and they always slow down the show. I love Martha Stewart but her answers were never funny. Because the contestants are not matching the stars on the show it makes the show boring. The audience at home is also most likely not matching the stars. The bad questions and unfunny answers makes the audience at home bored. They need to rethink their questions. The questions are the key ingredient. When contestants only match 1 star it makes the show boring. In the old days most of the contestants would run the board which made for an entertaining experience. I love this game. I just don't like this version of it. In my opinion they need to keep 3 "Funny Stars" as permanent panelist. They also need better questions and not tailor then to panelist on the show at the time. That was something the original show never did.
smyscoach I was excited to see my favorite childhood game show making a return. I have great memories watching with my Grandma, Rayburn, Brett, Dawson, Charles Nelson, and others. Too many questions now have sexual references. The show can be funny and entertaining without this. If ABC is trying to appeal to us "boomers", they should try to make the show similar to what made it good in the 60s and 70s.
thedreamfinder I grew up enjoying the 70's version of this show. Didn't think they could match it, but they come awfully close and in some cases better. Alex is a great host and seems to come up with the jokes/comebacks in a fast/smart frame of mind. It's almost like he was meant to do this show. I didn't think he would work out, but he does.I will say the panelist aren't always the best. There have been some exceptions but I'd say a good 50% of them should be removed in place of someone that might be better at the game. They do seem to be more adult oriented which I do find better then the original because some of the jokes that get knocked around from the answers had me laughing out loud.Overall I looked forward to it coming on every week and was glad to see it added to the summer lineup. Can't wait for season two.And for the people that rated it low.. some of them obviously had someone p*** in their corn flakes. Just because they made some jokes at Donald Trump doesn't mean you have to give the show one star. Lighten up a little!
vranger The original was lots of fun, with mostly clever jokes steering occasionally into naughty territory.This version is just loud, obnoxious, and crude. Sad, because I was looking forward to a Match Game revival. Until the saw the show, I thought maybe Baldwin could pull it off.He can't.The celebrities don't really seem to be trying to find answers that will match the contestants. If they can't even get into the spirit of the game, why bother?Just avoid this mess.
