LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

krahmaan1 First, I wholeheartedly agree about K-Street. It was not so great, because the politicians were mostly horrible actors and very self conscious. Also, I had some moral issues with the whole Howard Dean prep stuff. That being said, man its so sad when people can't see the forest for the trees. Unscripted is certainly an acquired taste, but you've gotta at least respect what they're doing for any number of reasons. First, like Curb Your Enthusiasm, the situations that Clooney comes up with are often very funny. Second, its not supposed to be getting you to "suspend your disbelief". The show is asking you to watch it for what it is: an unscripted, improvised show about three struggling actors trying to make it in Hollywood. Not "reality", but "improvised". Third, this show is so different and it takes risks. Aren't you tired of "reality" TV and lame traditional scripted network shows? There are so few truly interesting and worthwhile shows on television (Arrested Development, Rescue Me, Deadwood, Curb and thats it) so lets try to support something cool.

dqc_76 Unscripted is to aspiring actors ...instead of a show about the glitter, fame & fortune (e.g Entourage or anything on the E-Channel) or a bunch of pathetic, fame-starved everyday people trying to get 15 seconds (e.g. anything reality TV show in the major networks) ...HBO has brought us a hybrid reality show of what its really like to go into acting. the characters are never been heard of actors young and old, with a mix of some you've seen before and some you will never see again (all using their real names). the show follows the lives of the actors, and shows what its really like. its something every 16-yeard old kid that wants to be an actor should see (rather than watching the e-channel and hearing about how JLo made it). its gritty & shows how pathetic these people are (especially the people in the business). and its warning to people going into the business that probably wont be heard/observed ... kinda like Hoop Dreams

voncarp-1 Outright awful. A failed attempt at reality with real wannabe actors. Lets make this clear. This isn't reality show as it depicts. Not close. Its not a documentary, nor anything that will catch your interest.When you watch this show you are going to see a number of staged events. Naturally, since its not a reality show. But the staged events are too obvious, the acting is bad, and overall its just plain boring. Movies are good. Behind the scenes are good. Casting, not good. Wannabe actors not good.Back to the staged events. Your going to realize instantly that this is not a reality show when you see the wannabe actors start thinking out loud. Reality shows add speech to images, but it does so in a way set around a situation that makes it believable. Unscripted adds it to narrate and give you the thoughts of the wannabe actors because the wannabe actors aren't good enough to demonstrate their emotions in their acting. Want an example? See the futile efforts of one of the actors trying to play off their acting ability by portraying a stuttering character in a restaurant. Unknowingly, the waitress at the restaurant used to date him. Hmm. Coincidence? Sorry, too obvious. And these circumstances are too common with Unscripted.Hey, Hollywood is popular. Hollywood movies are popular. Even behind the scenes are popular as I mentioned before. Unfortunately, unless your an established actor or a Hollywood star and can see the inside jokes or experiences that Unscripted is talking about, your just not going to find this entertaining.

Joey Daoud (coffeeandcelluloid) On the border of mockumentary and drama, Unscripted focuses on the lives of three struggling actors without the glamor and fake tension found in Hollywood or reality shows. The only connection between the three actors is an acting class they all attend, though they each go on their own acting endeavors.The struggling and determination of what the characters go through truly touched me. Unscripted records the odyssey these people go through to make it big, from numerous dead end auditions to making ends meet. Instead of the actors discussing the latest Hollywood flick they starred in, they converse about the latest walk on role they had or which show hired them as a stand in. It isn't as cut throat as Greenlight, and truly allows the viewer to get in depth with the character and feel the struggle they're going through.
