GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

mjbuchanan80 And judging by the use of a laugh track, neither did the original studio audience.I would gladly watch a "Listen Up!" marathon than sit through one more episode of this show. Horrible decision by all parties involved to let this show air.That's all I pretty much had to say about it, but there is a ten line minimum. So I guess here are some of the reasons why I hate this show: Not funny. A little creepy. Not funny. Not Funny and not funny. Seriously, this show just isn't funny. It seemed to make no real attempt at making me laugh.

lioness25 This show is pretty terrible. I've watched it because it comes on between The Simpsons and Family Guy, which are two of my favorite shows, and also because I liked Corrdry's work on The Daily Show and I really wanted this to be good, for him. I gave it a serious chance- actually got through four episodes (while doing other things, of course, but I was listening). But it was like watching (or listening to) paint dry. I kept thinking to myself "Are they serious? Have any of the producers or writers or Fox or ANYONE remotely involved with making this show available to the public actually watched it? And they still thought it was fit for TV?" Needless to say, it's pretty awful. I won't say it won't get better- Seinfeld wasn't funny to me when it first started (though it was MUCH better than this horrible crap)- but I don't see the light at the end of that tunnel- I mean, even the laugh track sounded like it had trouble. I feel like Fox was slapping me in the face every time they made a "joke". "The Winner" is a total loser... (I know, horribly corny pun on words, but I had to...)

walken_on_sunshine The Winner is an enjoyable show presented to us by Family Guy and American Dad! creator Seth MacFarlane.The show has a very original concept the love of geeky 32 year old Glen Abbott moves back in next door with her twelve year old son who is a mirror image of what Glen was as a kid.Glen and 12 year old Josh become friends and help each other out in life, Josh uses Glen's childhood knowledge to score girls his age while Glen uses Josh's knowledge to form a relationship with Josh's mom.Yes it is far fetched and wacky but it's told in a way that works and makes it all seem possible.Most of the nay sayers of this show will claim it sucks simply because it has canned laughter then go on a rant about shows with canned laughter and how "bad today's shows are" or b*tch about Arrested Development being canceled.In many of the other reviews you'll see very little information on the show they may say "it's predictable" or "it's unoriginal" then rant about everything they find wrong with todays TV shows and hardly analyze The Winner at all.The Winner primarily focuses on awkward situations and embarrassing moments to draw laughter from you much like the American Pie movies.The character is a loser , virgin, nice guy, who's too geeky for his own good he's basically a big kid with little to no knowledge of the adult world (examples being showing up for a job interview without a resume, going to a penthouse for sex lessons, and using his $250 paycheck as a pick up line.Alison is the sweet, trusting girl next door who has great comedic timing she's sort of the "normal" character.Josh is a geeky houndog who wants girls but isn't very good with what to say basically a child version of the Glen character.Glen's parents with whom he lives with are the typical squabbling old coots the father a real hard@$$, the mother a nurturer.The show isn't perfect as a lot of the situations are very unbelievable and the fact that Alison would be so trusting of Glen around Josh (especially in todays paranoid society)is very unrealistic.The show is fun and without any of the random humour or pop culture references you see on Family Guy, or any of the political humour you see on American Dad! this is just a harmless show that gives you more laughs than the average sitcom like According To Jim or Til' Death.The series airs on Sunday nights @ 8:30.See for yourself.

snuggybearkids I am usually tolerant of things that are on television these days...you kind of have to be with the kind of moral-less fodder networks present for the most part (there are exceptions, but that doesn't apply here right now), but the debasing trash of the Winner has reached a new low in comedy. The subject matter (putting down Down Syndrome kids, references to antisemitism, pedophiles, O.J, molestation, and other topics that are sick, and more so that they are used in the context of comedy), the use of profanity, racism (c'mon, you've got to have heard that line about not dating black people like they were a disease), and the obvious sexual innuendos around the kids, like when at the end of the pilot he comes in and says he touched the teen girl's breast (sick) are all contributions to a decay of society to think that it's alright to laugh at that. It shows lack of talent in writing, a total absence of any creativity and more. The fact that Fox airs shows like this is an indication that they are run by baboons (no offense to real baboons) and the network's only redemption is that the Simpsons are still on the air.
