Reviews

YidLife Crisis
(2014)

A Yiddish Treat
It's not the funniest web series I've ever seen but it is a very nice little slice of life with some good understated comedy. If you're a foodie you will also appreciate some of the references thrown in. A nice view of a part of Montreal TV shows seldom catch.

Sophie
(2008)

Interesting
Sophie was a decent but short lived Canadian comedy series. Natalie Brown was a good actor as Sophie who is left and becomes a single mother with a career and ambitions. The stories were sometimes a bit much (the characters too) but it was a guilty pleasure of a show for me.

HumanTown
(2016)

Not Bad
This was a decent sketch comedy special or pilot. Better than a lot of other stuff I have seen on Canadian TV.

InSecurity
(2011)

Unfunny
This show is not funny it is very, very unfunny, which is a very bad thing for a comedy show to be. Take a pass on this one, or don't whatever I don't care if you want to waste your time.

Almost Heroes
(2011)

Not a Winner
This show had a good idea behind it of being a Canadian comedy series with a geeky heart. They were obviously trying to be a kind of a Canadian Big Bang Theory but just couldn't pull it off. The acting is pretty ham and the writing is not very funny. Not a winner of a TV show but not the worst either.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
(2016)

Such Fun!
This show may be weird and confusing but it's also a hell of a lot of fun! Great acting, writing that does add up if you view it more than once (at least I had to) and just a very good (tho bizarre) story. Check this one out if you like zany comedy and fantasy/sci-fi rolled into one.

Killer Rack
(2015)

Snooze Fest
This movie was boring and not funny at all. The premise is super off the wall and wacky but the comedy fails to deliver. Bad acting and writing and this is just a mess without even being funny as promised.

You Can't Kill Stephen King
(2012)

Just Stupid, Not Funny
This movie seemed promising but it is just stupid, awful acting and an awful script and awful movie production but not in the fun, funny way you would want in a movie like this. Too bad, it could have been great with a fun premise like this.

Silent But Deadly
(2011)

Among the Worst
This is among the very worst movies that I have ever seen in my entire life. Jason Mewes must need money really bad. The other actors in this are terrible especially the girls and the script must have been written on toilet paper, used toilet paper if you catch my meaning.

Match Game
(2012)

Match Lame
This show was so lame. The worst host and celebrities ever and all their jokes were the worst.

Baroness Von Sketch Show
(2016)

OK I get it...... But this show's not funny tho.....
It doesn't matter how bad we actually think this show is we can't say so because the cast is all female so if we say we don't like it we automatically hate women or something?

I'm male but I'm not sexist. I don't care what gender comedians have all I care about is if they are funny or not and the skits on this show are just awful and drag on with no laughs and not much original to offer.

Please by all means make more female sketch comedy shows I would be happy to see that happen and I will love it when one inevitably succeeds in being funny but I'm not going to pretend this is great and cheer for this show just because they are female. Make a good show first then the cheers will follow.

Short Circuit 2
(1988)

Not as good as The Original
This movie isn't as good as the first Short Circuit movie but it is still very funny. Steve Gutenberg is gone but Fisher Stevens is still here with Michael McKean instead and they're both great.

Popcultured
(2005)

Ouch!
I have never read such scathing reviews in my life. Except for maybe The Being Frank Show with Frank D'Angelo. Unfortunately both shows deserve it. Popcultured was a really awful show from start to finish. Bad host, bad writing, bad jokes, bad interviews with bad guests, bad looking set, bad cast, there must have been zero directors and writers for a show to somehow manage to go this badly. Sorry to say but I don't have much else to say and apparently IMDb says I have to write ten lines for my review, so here are a couple more lines and I will try again. Nope still not enough, what else can I possibly say about a show where I've already said it's just about the worst show ever? No point saying not to watch it since it's already off the air and all the tapes would have been tossed out by now. This show Popcultured was horrible!!

Grown Ups 2
(2013)

Avoidable
This movie should be avoided, we thought it looked OK based on the billboards and I was worried we maybe should watch the first movie first but it obviously doesn't really matter. After watching the first one which was not very good I should have taken the message and realised that there is no reason to watch the second one since sequels are seldom as good as the first movie, almost never better, usually even worse. This movie is no exception. The first movie was a dumb waste of time not worth seeing but Grown Ups 2 was a total insult. It's so dumb and completely empty of any good jokes or laughs that we were literally feeling insulted and embarrassed, like we were stupid for letting ourselves get tricked into watching it. We will not be watching any more Adam Sandler movies every again. Actually none of these guys probably.

Get a Life
(1990)

Underrated Comedy Classic!
This show was a lot of fun and it had a really unique and different sense of humour. I remember at the time arguing with my dad about what was funnier this show or Cosby and I liked both shows but this was more my or a younger sense of humour but my dad could not understand me liking this show at all. It was so different and Chris Elliott was great as the useless loser 40 year old who still had a paper route and lived with his parents, who were always sitting around in their housecoats and didn't even like him. No way to really describe the show other than that, you have to see it and love it or hate it you have to admit it is a great show as far as being different from anything else on TV at the time. Cabin Boy was a good movie too!

Cabin Boy
(1994)

Comedy Classic!
I am really shocked by this movie's super low rating of not even five out of ten, I figured it probably would be kind of low since it was not as good as Chris Elliott's TV show Get a Life and a lot of people didn't like his humour or this movie, but it was pretty good. It's obviously not for everyone with a really "out there" sense of humour but for what it was it was really funny, with a lot of laugh out loud gut busting moments. David Letterman's "wanna buy a monkey?" cameo is fantastic and Chris Elliott is great as the full of himself, super annoying rich kid turned cabin boy. I really recommend it if you like any of his other work or Get A Life.
