Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
ffountain-44202 My daughter has been watching this and I thought it would be good. OH NO. This show is sumply STUPID!! I can't even be in the room when she is watching it.
sunisfun-99372 O.M.G what a STUPID show!!! I agree it looks totally fake and not the least bit funny. The fact that they try so hard to look dumb, like a bunch of hollow heads. I get acting like you don't know some things can be funny. But it's way over the top on this show. I can't believe it made it past season one.
nukeman-00359 This Netflix original is a sitcom, this being the sitcom with their original idea. Their first one being Richie Rich, with an interesting way of how he got rich.The pilot has a kid named Bowie go to visit his friend Jarvis at his house at Christmas, Bowie comes in and just begins to open his presents. What? A regular friend would tell him to stop, but then again this is the guy that celebrates every holiday in August. When getting out the usual present from Jarvis' aunt, it blows up their house, and that's the last time they will ever be seen. They go to the company and complain, the two get no luck and they through a pretty funny joke sue the company and now they own it. With this they began to hire people at their school, and i gotta say the actors in this show are supposed to be fourteen yet they look like they're sixteen to eighteen. They hire multiple people and out of the four to five, two are only qualified for work. All the other people are idiots, Bowie is hired because no reason. Even though it was his idea, he gets hired because of his 'come on' speech and that's the plot, we also get Ms. Bubkes because Candace needed a disguise so a cleaning lady would work so no one's the wiser. Yes, they make so many annoying jokes and not just that Bubkes schtick is saying random gibberish in another language yet that's the best part. Let's talk about the characters Jarvis is bland, he just the the text book straight man that is full of himself and is totally blind that a girl likes him, Piper is the only decent character in this show and by that it is very little in the valentine's day episode she manipulates a person's feelings until karma strikes back. Aster the one with the smallest bit of decency. He's the jerk character that insults people's outfits, because that doesn't get annoying. Geneva is one of the idiots that does absolutely nothing and is a generic blonde character, and she complains about how hard it's being her. We have Knoxville the other idiot, he's supposed to be the human crash test dummy and yet we don't see him doing anything that needs safe runs. The final one reminds me of the idiot characters of Schneider's's bakery, Bowie. That's the one that celebrates holidays in August and almost didn't get a job because i don't know. There will be another character that dresses like the character of Knickknack toys and gives this story so stupid. The episodes besides pilots are horrible, there's one that was an 75 anniversary for some bimbo doll and to redesign with what Piper's mind is more bimbos. It's not until he snaps back into reality and Piper wins the pageant, and then we get more insulting jokes for people that aren't bimbos. Most of these jokes on the show are basically the Geneva character is given a tasks and actually doesn't do it, the next episode after the bimbos is that Piper tells him that Geneva is so stupid that she can't tell the difference between a Volvo and a Lexus. Jarvis trying to prove her wrong, and then jokes that go nowhere. She acts like an idiot and proved time and time again to being a total idiot
julianmexico I really like the idea on which the TV Series is built. The cast is great as well as the production, but something feels wrong while you are watching. It's hard to explain but it seems to be "home made". I blame the pacing of the show, the editing, those fractions of time between the lines, the timing of the laughs, some void between dialogues... It just feels an unnatural flow, like forced. Like that play in grade six where kids are waiting for their cue to say their lines. My two kids, in middle and elementary school, say this is the show they like least of YTV (Canadian Network similar to Nickelodeon). We find that a lot of episodes have such a lousy story, not funny at all and with very basic plots with dull resolutions, sometimes we just don't laugh at all during the whole show, and what's the point of a comedy that is not funny. Yes, there are some episodes that we have enjoyed and had a good laugh, especially with Mrs Bubkes, but not enough to give the show a better rating.
