Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

I'm a game show fan since way back when and since there are so few left, I'm saddened that yet another one bites the dust.True they won't win any Nobel Prizes for this show but it's not about that. It's cheesy, sometimes-raunchy (usually a couple of bleeps in every episode) game show fun that is one of my guilty pleasures which fill up my DVR.Bon voyage Craig. Perhaps you and Mr. Arquette can whip up another game show gem for us to enjoy. Thanks for the TV fun.

The fastest game show on TV, "Celebrity Name Game" pits two teams of two players against each other in trying (mostly) to name celebrities from clues given, mostly verbal. Along the way, they are assisted by two celebrities and by the host, Craig Ferguson, himself.The pace is so lively, they manage to squeeze four rounds into a half hour. In round one, teams get $100 for each correct answer. The stakes double in round two. In round three, Craig supplies the clues while the teams compete simultaneously. The team that wins moves on to round four where they can win $20,000 if they guess all ten names (and other things) correctly.The contestants are obviously chosen for their enthusiasm and aptitude. The celebrities are usually good players themselves. And Craig is his wacky self, though somewhat constrained by the structure of the show.Where I live, they play two episodes back to back every weekday evening before primetime, where there is little competition.

This show is vapid and dares you to change the channel. Besides the fact that the game itself is boring and uneventful, the goal of the game is even worse, to name celebrities, as if we aren't exposed to their sorry identities enough as it is. I can think of ways to make the show interesting, but not without a paycheck. Let's just say guessing the names of burnt-out TV celebrities of the last decade isn't engaging.David Arquette is a parasite on entertainment. He's actually less interesting than Keanu Reeves, though, fine, not as stiff, but is this really the best concept he could come up with? This show is a poor rehash of the 10k Pyramid, set in a cheap cozy studio that makes it seem like a group of pals playing in a cabin. I'm feeling dizzy.Arquette just will not grow beyond the sixth grade. He's actually stunted BEFORE high school. I suppose he's at least smart enough to cater to the lowest common denominator - the dregs of the US TV audience.I'm an adoring fan of Craig Ferguson, and I'd like to support this show, but all it screams to me is an utter waste of his considerable talents AND brains. I can't believe he couldn't rework the show given a chance, but David Arquette is somehow a TV producer now, prob because no one's crazier than he is at blowing his ex-wife's Friends money. The entire spectacle is an atrocity.

What a dismal come-down for Craig Ferguson! This show is boring, predictable, embarrassing and, above all, brutally DUMB - yet another show in which doing well depends on knowing stuff that no intelligent person could possibly care about.It's hard to describe the horror of watching brainless middle-aged contestants squealing and jumping up and down as they guess at meaningless factoids while being spoon-fed transparent clues by the smirking Ferguson. This show makes The Price is Right look like Grandmaster-level chess by comparison.The phrase "dump-truck full of money" comes swiftly to mind, when wondering why Ferguson might choose to debase himself in this way. This is a sad, miserable career choice by a once-creative performer. Spare yourself, and avoid witnessing his utter humiliation.
