Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

femaleanimefan For little kids Disney's Recess is a reason for you to get up in the morning, hop down the stairs in your PJs and grab a bowl of cereal, then sit down the watch the two-episode per show TV program Recess. Though Recess can sometimes be funny, it shows a side in which we older kids (ages 12-14) don't really need this show on. Watching this show is a waste of time. Being an older kid I have way better ways to spend my time.Recess is unrealistic, some-what annoying, mildly funny, and the creative side of TV. The character Gretchen really gets on my nerves and the episode plots are always really silly i.e. T.J. becoming principal for the day. It lacks the spot of trying to be funny when it actually becomes stupid. The writing in this show is lame and corny. The characters are quite interesting though. The idea of having a bunch of Ashley's is both bogus and comedic. Randall's character, a.k.a The Snitch does not exist in the real world, neither do the popular kids. This show takes place in the fourth grade, yet there are things in here fourth graders should never experience until they're in at least Grade 8.The idea of "the prankster, the brain, the poet, the enforcer, the wimp, and the athlete" all combined into one group of friends is pretty far fetched. The pranks T.J. and the gang pull are not clever nor funny and are nothing but pranks people played in the '80s. The idea of having a sour puss like Ms. Finster is really unrealistic because in real elementary schools they wouldn't have such an old hag running the play grounds. Real teachers never scope around the playground looking for troublemakers. The idea of Spinelli being a tomboy is also, bogus. The girl may wear big boots, a toque, talk deeply, wear stockings, and wear a black jacket, she wears a red dress. That doesn't seem very tomboyish to me.My verdict, the premise for the show is good, the characters are okay, the writing is pretty lame, the voice acting fits, an interesting plot. Though this show tried too hard to be good and for me flopped right out of my favorites. This show used to be good, but then got really lame.My score: 4.8/10

french-michaelfrench This is one of the best things Disney has made. Strongly set in the neighbourhood but unfailingly surreal, parts of it are both sophisticated and quite rude (exactly what does Miss Finster get out of riding on the floor waxing machine?). There are strong morals on the value of friendship and loyalty but those come from the characters themselves and are not so relentlessly editorialised as the worse youth series. Given their surreal talents, the children are well characterised and the adults sympathetic. I always enjoy the kindergärtners - trapping TJ is a funny episode - and the tension between Miss Grocke and Miss Finster is beautifully picked up in Prickley's attitude to the children, part paternal and part career fodder.

lilmickey48 OK, I don't have much to say about this show. Only, if u haven't seen it please watch as many reruns as you can. I love this show. It embodies just about how all kids probably felt in their time when they had recess. T.J is the leader, and quite a looker. He brings the humor and schemes to the show. Spinelli is the tough chick, scared of no one and nothing. She brings the strength. Vince is the athlete, he always wins. He brings coolness and determination. Gretchen is the genius. The brain, she brings the strategic moves of all the plans. Mikey, he is the gentle giant. He brings the heart of the operations. And last Gus, the nerd, the wimp at times. He brings reality and that no matter how small you are you can be heard. But IMDb has said that it was finished in 2001, but on my television I got shows that have appeared in 2003. Theinfo shows the year the episodes appear and I have 2003 so how can it have been finished in 01. But anyway, this show is a classic and there can't be a replica. Recess is a show that shows that all things are possible and that you don't have to be an adult or have money and power to make a difference. And also that your true friends are with you no matter what.

nolanjwerner I mean this show seems like it is far more entertaining to adults then any kids who would watch it.This is seriously one of the most brilliant shows I have ever seen, it ranks up there with Mission Hill, Futurama, Sam and Max (another show that unfortunately died because it was not aimed at kids), Big Guy and Rusty, The Simpsons, Spongebob Squarepants and Invader Zim for the best animated shows ever.The show itself is so offbeat and bizarre that everything seems to come together and work perfectly. All of the kids are so strange (upside down girl, swinger girl, the diggers, hustler kid, the kindergarten tribe and all the others I am forgetting) but they all seem to work together perfectly in a bizarre yet appealing version of childhood. The plots of the episodes are just as strange also yet almost every one I have ever seen has worked perfectly. The references to things are aimed at adults, not kids. Discount the Disney name, this is so brilliant and offbeat that it is worth watching, think of it as the Cordwainer Smith of Saturday morning cartoons.
