Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
josh bryan The opening scenes are always interesting and so are the cases. But the show takes a complete nosedive into the ground after the first fifteen or twenty minutes, with their questionable law practices and epiphanies which come out of the sky, like in this episode "Romeo and Juliet Murders" Annabeth just pulls a motive, the right motive to be exact out of her @$$.The lead actress is pretty bad. She looks like "Prosecutor Barbie" and seems so out of place in the court room. You may think I'm being stereotypical, I really don't mind beautiful perky-looking prosecutors but the actress seems as if she's uncomfortable in her role. She always has the same facial expressions.Kimberly Elise is much better, a glowing halo of light in this very bleak television show. As for the rest of the actors and actresses, main and guest starring, not much can be said about their talent (or rather lack of).I also love the fact that the defense seems so captivated by Annabeth's speeches and she always wins the case. Generally formulaic story lines, sticking to the crime drama stereotype. It's worth watching once, but overall, very forgettable.
nscullsr This show is the most poorly produced/directed program to show up on a major network in years! All the hollow actors speak in monotones and appear to be reading their lines. The script is so dumb as to make you question whether this is not a satire from a certain late Saturday night program.Our group, who watched it for the first time, endured 30 minutes before deciding it was indeed a serious attempt at entertainment but absolutely unwatchable. Click! How has Close to Home survived this long?How can a program this bad survive this long? The American public may soon discover that reading books is preferable to this garbage.
Tony Macklin (tonymacklin) Jennifer Finnigan is a good actress, but the banal, phony scripts on this show are way beneath her talent.This is a show in which the characters don't speak dialogue that is true to their characters. The writers put lines into their mouths that they would never say.The courtroom scenes are absurd. In a day of unbelievable courtroom testimony, this show is at the nadir. Attorneys sit passively and listen (in rapture?) to Annabel (Finnegan) emote.What is most galling is that this promising show is failed by its trite writers.Close to Home is Close to Hokum.
lerafmot Aren't there any writers out there who can come up with an original thought. This show is a rehash of so many other legal and cop shows using the same old scenarios. Tonight's was really original. A gang leader was on trial and the gang was threatening one of the witnesses. Gee that was really a first. Then the prosecuting attorney's child is missing from the school ground. Did the gang steal her - You think!? Is the "Bad" defending attorney in on the plot to eliminate witnesses? You think!? How boring. An hour I can never get back (actually 45 minutes - I turned it off) I would give this show a couple of more episodes and then it's off to the world of "My Mother, The Car" Look that one up folks. It was almost as plausible as "Close to Home"
