Synopsis

The show where everything's made up and the points don't matter. Not a talk show, not a sitcom, not a game show, Whose Line Is It Anyway? is a completely unique concept to network television. Four talented actors perform completely unrehearsed skits and games in front of a studio audience. Host Drew Carey sets the scene, with contributions from the audience, but the actors rely completely on their quick wit and improvisational skills. It's genuinely improvised, so anything can happen - and often does.

Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
WakenPayne I didn't really get into this version of Whose Line Is It Anyway nor have I seen the other 2 versions. I found some games really funny while others not so much. But I am going to give it credit for being entirely improvised.The premise is simple, take four comedians, from what I've seen three regulars and one guest and have them go through these games where they have to improvise both jokes, songs and sometimes satire on things like movie scenes. The points they are given are completely irrelevant and they're all just there to have a good time.Now I am giving this show and the people on it a lot of credit, the ability to improvise all this stuff and still make it both entertaining and work is just incredible. Even when I think "I don't find that particularly funny" I can still give it credit for trying.If there is a complaint it would have to be that I have seen about 6 episodes so far (I feel based on that it's enough for a review) and my favourite games include 2 of them improvising a scene from a Film-Noir but set in a lingerie shop, that was hilarious and the other one is where someone has to improvise a news story on a green screen yet not knowing a single thing about it. Those were hilarious but I have only seen that (or anything close) once. They were much better than what else I saw, but again I'm giving it credit.So if you have a half hour to just sit and watch something then this is perfect. I'm sure not everybody will like the humour that the show has and maybe a few of the jokes just might not do it for you, but again - These guys deserve some credit for improvising the whole thing.
rock_rishab I can't tell you how much this show influenced me. I used to watch this show while I was in High School, and since then even my type of humor is like Whose line. Even more than Friends (which Whose Line cast hated by the way).... one of my all time favorites....This is one of the best improv shows I've ever seen, hats off to all those who ever did this, even for an episode.I would like to especially mention Ryan and Colin. They are the jewels in the crown. But that doesn't make the crown any less significant. I don't really see people mentioning "Brad Sherwood", but I always loved his quirky and out of the blue "Weird News Casters" names like, "Chester Snapdragon-Mcfisticuff" or like "Giesebel Spankbottom", he was also really good at 2 Line Vocab, along with the other stuff. And who can forget Wayne, he was the best singer in the batch, and his shotgun lyrics were just a piece of his talent. The show was simple, off the hook and innovating every day. Drew Carey was good too, but could have been better.This type of shows can run forever, but sadly they don't. So after 8 years of running it was taken off air, but fans of comedy like us will always be hopeful.Long story short, immensely talented people all mashed up to make a great show. Oh yeah and its for all.... they always cut off the good parts (censor)... (More interested viewers please check out the Bloopers on youtube.com)
spikeybabyisdacutest Well, where do i start with this show?! This is the most amazing, hilarious and best show on t.v! although it is old its so much better than the new rubbish they put on these says. I only started to watch this programme a few months ago when i was ill and nothing was on t.v! and am i so glad i watched 5 US. This has to be the only programmes that has me crying with laughter and sometimes unable to breathe! :) Colin mochrie the baldy is hilarious his partnership with ryan stiles is wonderful. Wayne brady, good singer and cute. Greg proops i loooove him, drew carey is a great host! and finally the hot Ryan! he is the funniest thing on this show and keeps you watching..did i mention he was hot? I definitely prefer the US version to the UK one even if i am from the UK! it doesn't take itself as seriosuly as the UK one!11 out of 10
Angelus2 This show is unlike many other comedy shows. Its takes simple games from theatre studies and places real comedians. I first caught this show when I was flicking through channels and since then I have become a addict. The performers play off each other beautifully and have some great ideas and keep making the audience laugh out loud, literally;Drew Carrey is sometimes annoying. But he was in the original so I guess its natural to have him apart of this show.Colin is simply hilarious, he is quick witted and makes the audience laugh with the simplest of things. Ryan is my favourite he is just as funny as Colin but he has his moments with physical theatre. Wayne. Wayne is a genius simply put. He can improvise anything into a song and knows how to make the crowd laugh. Special guests which are my favourite are, Chip who is extremely lovable. Jeff does a mean impression of Christopher Walken, Brad is funny while Greg is very funny with the Superhero games. It always keeps me smiling.
