Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

JazB When I first saw "Stacked" advertised, I thought, "oh no, not another average sit-com based around a once famous personality" (Cybil, Jenny, Fat Actress, The Comeback etc etc). But this was different. For once, the main personality in the show, in this case Pamela Anderson, was an asset and not a hindrance. Her character and her performance fit in with the other characters, instead of the other characters revolving around the "most famous" person on the show.Another good thing about Stacked is its consistency. It reminds me of Cheers in its heyday; consistently funny with solid characters. Unlike the very excellent 'My Name is Earl', which varies wildly from week to week as to how the characters behave, Stacked is much more solid and satisfying, because of this. It's also pretty unique to see something so well crafted in this day and age.The entire cast is brilliant. I wasn't immediately enamored with the casting of the two brothers who run the store, but I soon warmed to their characters. Christopher Lloyd is absolutely on form, delivering his lines with the comedy precision of a master, knowing how to make one line turn from a chuckle into a gut-laugh. Even Pamela Anderson, not known for comedy talent, has a character which fits her personality perfectly, while allowing her to drop some great lines and still seem like the same person.Every character in this sit-com feels "right" and you can only imagine the amount of time and effort that must have gone into making this happen.Stacked is never mean-spirited, overly cynical or even topical, it's just brilliantly crafted, constistently funny, top-quality entertainment. It echoes Cheers in its heyday - whatever happened to shows like this? I hope Stacked finds its audience and remains as good as the first season, and then keeps running for years to come! It deserves to!

jessieswift OK, I just started watching this show on Paramount Comedy in the UK and it's surprisingly good. Obviously billed as a vehicle for Pamela Anderson but the real attraction here is Christopher "Doc" Lloyd, a man who's style of hilariously hammy overacting means he's only capable of playing mental patients, cartoon characters and mad scientists. Given that, it was only a matter of time before he ended up in that most wildly overacted of things, the American sitcom. Naturally, Lloyd is most entertaining as a slightly sulky former scientist who practically lives in the book store of the title (a title who's cheap pun does not promise much from the standard of humour on show). However, what really surprises is that Pammie is a shockingly adept comic performer. I mean, she's no great actress and she'll never be the most hilarious comedian, but she has a certain charm and willing to poke fun at herself and her image that makes her performance in this show both likable and enjoyable. Fans of the busty star and her ilk will be pleased by guest appearances by the likes of Jenny McCarthy and Carmen Electra, however their performances mostly just go to show how actually good Pamela is in comparison. Overall, this is a standard, slightly clichéd sitcom with much big, gurning acting and a rather excessive laughter track. Still, while not actually being enormously funny, it does manage to hold the interest, and not just because of the compelling strangeness of Pammie's breasts. If you just chance to come upon it, you'll probably find yourself losing yourself in half an hour of the charming if lightweight adventures of this bookstore.

arneolaf I think people should give this show a chance, because it's really funny! The show contains a great combination of funny characters, who you learn to know very quickly. Pamela Anderson also plays pretty good as Skyler Dayton, this blonde party girl who suddenly starts working at a book store, from what she has very little experience. Of course a lot of people think that this is just a shallow sitcom men watch just to see Pamela Anderson, but it has so much more.It's like a combination of Cheers, "Step by Step", Becker and "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place". Pamela's role reminds a little of Suzanne Somers when she plays the mom in "Step by step", Christopher Lloyd who plays Harold, the bitter older man who's there always, got the attitude of Becker, and the brothers are a little like the two guys in "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place". They are brothers, but they are very different from each other and not exactly best friends. The whole atmosphere is a little like the atmosphere in Cheers. It also has some things in common with "Friends", like when they are slandering the funny customers in the store, and sometimes even dating them.

liquidcelluloid-1 Network: Fox; Genre: Sitcom; Content Rating: TV-PG (adult content); Perspective: Contemporary (star range: 1 - 4); Seasons Reviewed: Season 1+ Take yourself back to around 1996. Pamela Anderson is calling herself Pamela Lee. She's just left "Baywatch" and made her "hotly anticipated" film debut in the future classic "Barb Wire" and kids around the country are horrified to hear that she used a body double in the movie's intro because she was pregnant at the time. Pamela Anderson, consistently regarded as one of the sexiest women in the world, is a hot commodity. People are throwing projects and star vehicles at her left and right. Again, this is 1996 - exactly where "Stacked" feels like it belongs.About a decade after the hype has died down, her film career has fizzled, "VIP" never really took off, being with Tommy Lee has become a degrading cliché for any Hollywood actress, and she's had her implants in and out so many times nobody cares anymore, Pamela Anderson returns to the small screen for a little career resuscitation. For anyone out there who thinks that Hepatitis-C riddled body is still hot - be my guest to "Stacked", a show for the prepubescent teen who will watch Anderson do just about anything.In keeping with the show's belief that Pamela Anderson can carry a sitcom, everything else about "Stacked" is passé - with only a running advertisement for Michael Crichton's "State of Fear" posted in the background to remind us we are in a new century. All the bad sitcom clichés are here: the screeching laugh tracks, the lame 1-liners, 1-dimensional characters. You'd think that after the mold-breaking neo-classic "Titus" - and even this year's sensational "Committed" - Fox could think beyond this. It is a sickening thought to imagine all the other sitcoms that where instantly canceled so that this one could be given all the benefit of the doubt from the public.Here is your high-concept, pitched by producer/creator, hack sitcom writer and increasingly my arch enemy Steven Levitan: people who work in a bookstore meet beautiful ex-rocker's girlfriend, Skyler (Anderson), trying to escape her wild former life, settle down and be taken seriously. Bookstore attendees include the straight-laced proprietor (Elon Gold) who will clash with Anderson's wild ways, his brother (Brian Scolaro) who is desperately trying to keep the women around long enough to think of a way to get her, a chubby girl around the counter (Marissa Jaret Winokur, "Hairspray") to take the slings and arrows of the babe. The show will pretend to use Winokur to put everything in perspective before switching all the victories back on Anderson - it is her career life support after all. Lastly, we have the aging scientist who hangs out, reads the paper and mildly gets caught up in the events of the store (Christopher Lloyd). "Stacked" is exactly the kind of show you're more likely to see IN another show as a parody of a sitcom.Winokur and Lloyd are clearly working well below their means. Particularly, Winokur who has effectively shifted her career into neutral in the thankless, degrading "fat friend" role. But once again, just like in his last series ("The In Laws") Elon Gold becomes the bright spot. I liked him then and I like him now. Gold knows exactly how silly this all is and while his ham-fisted over-acting would sink most any other show, it is perfect here. Any hopes for laughs come out of Gold's straight delivery or goofy eye brow shifts.In the end, like any slavish star vehicle, it is all about making Anderson look good. In this case, the show has the uphill task of making Pamela Anderson look funny - which is something I wouldn't even wish on Steven Levitan. Every gag-inducing self-referential joke ("I seem to have a thing for bad boy rockers" ha ha ha). Every attempt to show how hard she has it and how misunderstood she is. Every time the show gets back to its core mantra: that the beautiful, popular, large-breasted blonde who men fall all over themselves for isn't the dumb stereotype we all imagine. This is the big twist? I'm all for breaking cliché, but Skyler, must have some flaw somewhere to be the slightest bit interesting.One noticeable thing is that the joke roster in "Stacked" is heavily populated with the same tired gags making fun of what losers all the characters who aren't Anderson are. They "sat at the nerd table in high school", they "didn't date a lot in high school", anything they say is out of "bitterness for how lonely they are". Rinse and repeat. The entire series is like this. That is borderline propaganda people and it's lazy writing - to elevate one character by tearing down others. To discount all the intellectual or professional achievements of people because they aren't "getting any". "Stacked" is typical pandering television.* / 4
