Highly Overrated But Still Good

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I remember watching this when I was younger, and I loved it. Its so funny. I wish there had been more episodes though.

The first time I saw this show I thought "what are these guys on?" Then I watch again, and found myself getting up at 4 am (the time it airs in my town) just to watch it. Now I have VDR so I have all the episodes on it (sadly only 13). My daughter (2) loves it, I've noticed she talks more (says more words) including "upside down", "action fingers" among others. She also interacts with the show. Even though she has seen the episodes over and over again, it's like she seeing it again for the first time.I am very "upset" at the fact Nickolodeon and Noggin did not ask for a second season. I hope somebody does soon, and if not, and they would only make it for DVDs that I had to purchase, I totally would! BRING IT BACK!!!!

At last a children's show that inspires their imaginations to new heights.The show is based on two brothers living in a house with doors (and drawers) that take them to all sorts of interesting and fantastic places as they solve the days quest. The viewers help control the show with an imaginary remote control which can do all sorts of amazing things. The brothers (David and Shane) interact with the incredibly flexible Mrs Foil, puppets, young children and imaginary characters to create a world where anything is possible. Even the narrator is priceless with unpredictable door knock policies and a cricket style replay commentary. Much of the show is visual humour that really gets a 'laugh out loud' reaction from the kids and they get a real kick out of fast-forwarding, rewinding and turning the characters upside down with the remote control.David and Shane have long been one of Australia's cleverest and funniest comedy acts(The Umbilical Brothers)and have been entertaining adult audiences for years. I was intrigued to see they were in a children's show but thought my 3½ year old son would not enjoy it as he only seems interested in animated stories. Was I wrong! He is not only glued from start to finish but interacts with the characters the whole way through. When it is over, he turns the TV off (that's never happened before!) and then plays games based on it for hours. He has always had a good imagination but this programme has taken it to whole new level and improved his vocabulary too. Best of all, it's a show we can enjoy together. We both have a really good laugh and then get to play 'remote control' all day. This is particularly handy in the evening as our remote has a 'have a bath' button and a 'go to bed button' (the 'sleep in a little later on Sunday' button is apparently broken, sadly). Congratulations to David, Shane, writers and crew on what has to be the most entertaining children's show ever!

Shane and David were well known to our family as the Umbilical Brothers - my two boys (now 14 & 16) absolutely adore them. When my younger son learned that they wanted to shoot an episode of a new children's show with his Brass Band he was ecstatic. Unfortunately the show first came to cable in Australia but has just started showing on the ABC at 8am and next Monday, 29th October 2007, will air "Marching Band". Both my sons were involved (although the older one just pretends to play the trumpet) & we are waiting, excitedly, for it to come on. I remember the day they filmed it was overcast and windy and that everyone's hats kept blowing off. But I didn't watch the filming - just dropped them off at the park then picked them back up again - so I'm really looking forward to next Monday morning.
