Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
sondra-13 Just heard it's been canceled and I'm very upset. This is a great show, that tried to bridge societal gaps with great voices and a really good story, taking place in a dying steel town In Pennsylvania. I love all of the actors, especially Josh Radner. I hope he perseveres and finds the show or movie that succeeds, because he is an amazing actor. Rosie Perez was nuanced as the assistant director. All the kids were amazing. All of them. I'm so bummed this is done. Hoping Netflix picks it up. It's just probably too real for a commercial network that is too dependent on the farce that is Nielsen ratings. And I know how unreal those ratings are.
mark-adamson1969 I've been waiting for a show like this. Brilliant.
naturallyrockin The main ingredient of this series' "Kool-Aid" is sugar-coated propaganda. The real moral of this show should be -- "Mr Mazzu is a total jerk that you would never want as a teacher, or role model for your children". The writer(s) seem to feel an urgency to cram in every imaginable angle of human drama that involves moral decay. It definitely is reminiscent of Glee's first season, but darker, R-rated. The characters, however, remind me more of High School Musical - it's like Vanessa Hudgens hooked up with Corbin Bleu instead, while Zac's doppleganger is lovesick for the equivalent of Lucas Grabeel. They say, history repeats itself. Unfortunately, it seems to be twisting in a downward spiral.
twmusicstudio I'm a theatre person and was optimistic that this show would be able to show a realistic take on what it's like to mount a show. However, this program instead focuses on drama between a football coach and a theatre director, drama between family members when a father splits up the family through infidelity, drama between a mother and daughter when the daughter expects her mother to grow up, pregnant teens, PTA's shutting down or expecting censorship of a theatrical production, Christians who won't come out of the closet and just about every cliché possible to find without having being able to shop any kind of hope or even a conclusion to a storyline. While this may feel realistic to those that have gone through these events in life they fabricated nature of the show paints an unrealistic portrayal but never giving any way for these characters to deal with or learn from their problems. Stay for the Spring Awakening, leave for the drama.
