TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

vucurovicja This show had some good skits and some bad ones, cast was decent, the man in the hole was just a big waste.

bigapplechickNYC Still stands the test of time. Great writing. So many layers of humor. Smart and funny. I wish it lasted more than one year!

Denis McGrath Sunnyside has a loosely-strung narrative that trades whimsy and darkness. Sometimes it's laugh out loud, sometimes scabrous, but always weird, lovingly splaying urban tropes from hipsters to cops to cat ladies. The absurdity recalls Kids in the Hall, the character work SCTV. It's a nice stretch to the form that serves up a great WTF moment in each half hour. Some of the types you'll meet in Sunnyside are fun, some are foul. Some of the situations are situationally funny -- like the bachelorette bridezilla who everyone's afraid to confront. And some are just gems of performance, like most everything Alice Moran or Pat Thornton does. It's nice to see a mix of humor styles and concepts wrapped up in a loose package. It reminds me of what was once said a million years ago about Monty Python -- if you don't like what you see, wait ten seconds, and it will be something totally different.I miss some of these characters already, and look forward to seeing them again soon.

Doug Mann One of the basic reasons to watch comedy TV shows is to make you laugh. The many bland, formulaic American sitcoms that pollute our airwaves rarely do this. That's why Sunnyside was such a pleasant surprise – it's genuinely quirky and genuinely funny. A sketch comedy show with recurring characters set in the "Sunnyside" neighbourhood in a seedy section of the middle of Toronto, it's part of the absurdist, surreal tradition of British TV comedy (Monty Python, Big Train, The Mighty Boosh and Spaced) that's also seen in bit and bites in Canadian sketch comedy (SCTV, The Frantics, and Kids in the Hall, especially the laconic cops played by Bruce McCullough and Mark McKinney, replicated in this series). The other thing that Sunnyside borrows from this tradition is the idea of the world turned upside down – instead of celebrating the lifestyles the successful middle class, if not of the rich and famous (e.g. Charlie Sheen's sitcoms) – it's the phony aesthetes, the down and out and the working poor who make us laugh. They're all over the place in Sunnyside: the pretentious barista Shaytan, the skanky women fishing for money in a sewer, the woman who crashes an art exhibit to get free wine. There's also some social satire, as in the sketch of the man who is so reliant on Siri and his iPhone that he winds up on his back in an alley being robbed. And the surrealism is at times gut-bustingly funny, as in the episode "Australia", the title of which doesn't make sense until the last line – "It's like they've never seen an Australia moon!" If you prefer "Mom" or "Mike and Molly" or "Modern Family" to this show, we don't live in the same mental universe.
