Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
jwhale9382 I was set against this show from the first time I saw it. What was wrong with it? Where do I start? First of all, the was no storyline. The tagline for this show was, "...the Help get even." Of course, whatever this meant was never specified on the show. So we had no idea where this show was going. Most shows get better after the pilot. The only thing worse than the plot was the characters. I think they were supposed to be funny. The nanny was a tramp, the limo driver was a con man, the trainer was an airhead, and the dog walker was a Jekyll-and-Hyde psycho. The maid was the only character I liked. Every band of weirdos needs a ring leader, and that was the maid. I hope the actress finds a better role. This show could have been funny, but with no plot, bad jokes and underdeveloped characters, it just couldn't keep its head above water.
musicislife77 I watched the Pilot episode of "The Help" and was nearly bored to death. It wasn't funny in any aspect. There are too many cast members, with not enough good lines to share between them. The fact that they brought the kid form Married...With Children back proves that they were desperate enough to bring back a has-been just to give the audience someone to identify with. None of the cast members are even likeable. Tori Spelling managed to annoy me within the second time she opened her mouth to reveal her "true" feelings.Overall, if you miss this, it's for the greater good. You will still have a signifigant number of brain cells left over by 10:00.
Scree The WB does it again! Or should I say, network television does it again. Here we have yet another so-so sitcom laid on us, not overly funny, yet not really a stinker. The story so far is actually a bit interesting, but the problem always seems to be the level of comedy. Maybe it's the overall lame dialog, generally overacted performances, or the annoying studio audience laughing (better than a laugh track, of course, but this one seems to be trying to emulate old Married With Children's). As only the pilot episode has aired as I write this, hopefully there will be a potential realized with the stellar eye-candy cast (Camille Guaty, Megan Fox, Marika Dominczyk, Keri Lynn Pratt, and yes even Brenda Strong), which is what saves this sitcom from a quick death (well, I would hope so, anyway). Plus Tori Spelling guest starring in anything is worth watching, IMHO! So, best of luck to this show. [Show: C - Cast: B+]
atcguy21 I watched the premiere of this show last night. When I noticed that it was produced and casted by the same people that did Married..With Children I wasn't surprised..it had a lot of sexual jokes and beautiful women in skimpy clothes. It really did remind me of M..W/CH. Having David Faustino..(Bud) from M..W/CH appear in the show was a plus too. I like this show and will watch it every week even if my wife doesn't approve. Oh well. Also in the show is the fat women from The Facts of Life..she does well in the show as well. The maid..is very beautiful and has a great personality on the show. I'm not going to give traits of all the characters...but you need to watch this show especially if you liked shows such as: Married..With Children, Unhappily Ever After, and Nikki. Since all these shows are connected in the same way by having the same producers and casting director. I'm not sure how much longer the show will be on, it might bomb the first season..who know's but I would like to watch the show for at least a few seasons to come.
