Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
vkanandh And the kids out there, were all terrific. I just regret one thing - to have tried to know about their personal lives. I broke to tears when I read them, and whenever I watch the DVD, the sadness catches up with me in one corner. Miss Gary, Plato & Brian. Let them Rest in Peace.

gdardignac Does anyone remember the school yard bully that tormented Arnold? his name was the Gouch. he didn't play in many episodes, and I don't remember which one he played in, but besides that Dave Chappelle made a comment on his show once about being the Gouch on Diff'rent strokes. I don't know if he was serious or not but the Gouch did resemble a young Dave Chappelle. does anyone know if that was really him? if you know this rule about having at least 10 lines is ridiculous. all i want to know is who the Gouch really was. why to a whole bunch of lines for a simple question. jeez i don't what else to fill these lines with. what does it take to post a comment?
richard_wright I hate to burst everybody who loved this show's bubble, but the sad fact is this is arguably one of the worst programmes to ever be unleashed on that box of tricks called a TV. Everything about it was bad, from the flat delivery of the characters they called acting, to Gary Colemans quickly irritating catchphrases that he seemed to say about half-a-dozen times a show. Also noteworthy is the horrible fashion and stupid hair that may have looked good for the 70's but will now provoke more hysterics than anything contained in the so-called "scripts".So now we have realised that it has virtually nothing in the laugh department, what kept people watching for 6 odd years? What it the lead's height problem? The "catchy" theme tune? The disbelieving state of mind that a programme so awful could take up valuable air time? I have to draw a blank, I'm afraid. All I will say is: if you can survive half an hour of any episode of this without rolling your eyes whenever Arnold does his little routine, cringing whenever Kimberly opened her big fat gob to moan about how unfair life is or feel violently sick whenever Drummond spun yet another of his sentimental philosophies about family unity which always ended in a "group hug" then you are a better man than me.
DunnDeeDaGreat Diff'rent Strokes is a show that I came to love later in life. The show heart and soul was little Gary Coleman. Although Todd Bridges and Dana Plato would have the occasional good one-liner this was Coleman's show. He was so the pimp sh*t on the show. I wonder where his charcter of Arnold would be now?
