Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

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.

Anyone else remember a few years back when Disney Channel actually had quality? There was Even Stevens...wait, that was the only show that had quality. The cartoons are good too, but the sitcoms are awful! They're pointless, have no effort, and lack humor. Sure, there's one or two smirks per show at least, but the popular slapstick random humor doesn't cut it. Crash & Bernstein is an example of these shows. We have all seen Disney do better on the big screen, but their TV shows are to children as Michael Bay is to teenagers- and you know what he's like.I see my brother watching this show and I don't see why he finds it amusing. I know he Knows what good comedy is, but obviously, the bad puns and sometimes unnecessarily crude humor has already pulled him into this incredibly hyperbolic show about family(the sisters don't even have similar hair color. The age composition between the siblings is also off. And WHERE IS THE FATHER?????). Sadly, my brother is lost. Dear viewers, do yourselves a favor and block this channel from the sons and daughters, or siblings, that you love. Let them watch Leave It to Beaver.Lets break this down. I won't even mention the acting or cast, which is already bad. First- as I mentioned before, there is no father. Half the shows they got have at least one parent MIA, and it's a bad impression on the viewers. It makes kids think that it's too normal to be divorced and only have one parent. And it's not! Second, the show is from the perspective of a boy with two older sisters. Ideally, the viewers should be in the protagonist's mindset, and he sees two older sisters who bring a lot of feminine things to his environment. They are too far apart in age to really have any effect. They don't team as well. Thirdly, a puppet is a nice change, but he isn't funny. Period. He's a jerk. Kids see him as the perfect brother for Wyatt (Remember to think Leave It to Beaver). Again, this is an unhealthy encouragement. this is only a sliver of many other problems. I hate to be a pessimist, but if they keep throwing these movies out, Why should I do nothing?

First things first. All of the actors have as much acting talent as the Kardashians! It's not even funny. This show is meant for kids 5-14. Crash looks more like a rejected muppet. Where I come from its BAD if you're best friend is your puppet. Disney XD has gone down the toilet and into the sewage. Like Lab Rats. I tried to like it, but I just couldn't. But that's a different show. All of the shows have gone down the drain. I even watched some other shows and compared to today's shows. It's a scientific fact that Kid shows have gotten worse. Now it's all about farts, getting punched, calling people stupid, etc. I even sat through an ENTIRE episode (I get really bored during the summer) and I dd not laugh once. This was an episode on wrestling. It was so stupid, I completely blocked it, so no one could see it.

Disney is a repulsive company overall, but when the daily options for my two under-6 boys in the touchy-feely, female-dominated children's culture in which we live are shows like "Ni Hao Kai Lan" and "Princess Sofia the First," this is a very - very - welcome change. As the previous reviewer said, it's not for you, it's for them. It may be difficult to understand unless you've experienced it firsthand, but to 4 or 5 year old boys, a purple puppet throwing himself through walls and blowing things up is the funniest thing they've ever seen in their young lives. You've never heard laughter like this. I imagine liberal educators everywhere will be horrified, which only makes this show more appealing.

This is single handedly the worst live action kids show on TV right now. Even my kids want me to change the channel when it comes on. In a time when so many options are out there Disney should not have a show that makes people want to watch something else and any one who does change the channel is smarter for doing so. Disney has so many clever shows and their competition does as well. I don't know who they think they are catering to with such a low brow kids show. I would think that Disney would understand that very stupid isn't very funny. Bad writing, bad acting and terrible concept. This show has no redeeming qualities and should be canceled immediately.
