    I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

    This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

    "Child Support" is a game show in which contestants answer questions for money. Hosted by Fred Savage, the show's hook is that a panel of five children answers the same questions. If the contestant answers incorrectly, the children can save him with a correct answer.The contestants are vibrating with enthusiasm, like Will Ferrell in "Elf". This contestant pool has not been vetted for "Jeopardy". After all, they face questions that are within the purview of children, on subjects like nursery rhymes, animated films and Justin Bieber. So they are selected for their personalities.The children are at the age when they get frequent visits by the tooth fairy. They are precocious, meaning they like attention even more than the average kid. The show relies on the humor in the responses of children. This is an area that has been mined by Art Linkletter, Ellen, and Steve Harvey. The popularity of internet videos has reawakened this entertainment niche. If you like the darn things that these snaggle-toothed kids say, you will probably enjoy "Child Support". Ricky Gervais gets the questionable honor of interacting with the children.The maximum a contestant can win is $200,000. Wrong answers result in reduced payouts or elimination. Real money is attainable, because the questions are relatively easy. In two episodes, I missed only one question. So don't expect to be challenged or to learn much.Between the host, the contestants, the kids and Ricky, the cuteness quotient is off the charts. You may overdose on twee-ness.

    This show is entertaining, they have some of the kids from BuzzFeed and some I don't recognize. They are adorable, of course. That's not my issue with them, it's that they often seem bored and strained as if they really aren't having a good time. Which isn't surprising because they are basically taking a pop quiz while Ricky fake laughs at their jokes. The biggest problem I have with this "game", if you can call it that, is the fact that a person can ultimately get every question wrong and as long as the children know their basic trivia answers THE DUMB PERSON STILL WINS A BUNCH OF MONEY. They knock off the largest sum winnable after the contestant gets a question wrong, but if the children save them, they continue on. There is NO LIMIT to how many times this can occur. Secondly, if the contestant is doing well, and they get JUST ONE wrong and the the children are unable to answer correctly, they get absolutely nothing, no matter how far they have made it through the game! It's infuriating to watch the idiots go home with (not exactly earned) prize money, and people who had most of the knowledge to get so far got stiffed.

    Well, first you get the contestants. And they are really, really excited to be there. I mean, they're super excited. And that's hilarious. They also love to explain how they know the answers to kid friendly questions. Do you want to know how someone knows a plot point about The Little Mermaid? Because you're going to find out.Then there's Fred Savage. And he's really, really excited to meet the guests. I mean, he's super excited. And that's hilarious. And he's bringing the enthusiasm. When someone answers a kid friendly question, Fred's there to make them feel like they just cracked the Enigma machine.And what can I say about Gervais? He is really, really excited to talk to the kids. I mean he's super excited. And that's hilarious. Now some of you may think that Gervais has made a career on incisive, sardonic humour and that sitting in a room with a bunch of kids trying to force laughs out of their observations would be the sort of lightweight pablum he'd have parodied earlier, but that doesn't matter because everyone is having such a good time!
