All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
View MoreThis is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
View MoreIt was a bad idea for everyone involved with Hiccups to do this show. After doing Corner Gas both of these talented actors should have taken time off and waited for a very good script for a movie or another TV show to come along, or just retired since they must have a ton of money saved up from doing Corner Gas for so long. Hiccups just is not a good show at all. Dan for Mayor was a very bad show and if anything this show is at least as bad as that. All of these people should have been more careful and selective before diving into these new shows, which just were not funny at all. I really wanted to like these shows and kept giving them a chance but it just disappointed every week until I gave up. Bad show and bad idea to do it. I hope they wait a few years and then when the right idea comes along they do that and are very successful with it!
View MoreYes, I was a Corner Gas fan, too and yes I was not ready for Hiccups. I needed time to heal and blah, blah, blah.But, come on, this is a really good show. The over-the-top main character, Millie Upton, is a joy to watch and Nancy Robertson delivers in every episode. Since the genre of man-child movies and sitcoms (commercials, etc.) has forever been (obviously) a No Girls Allowed Club, it's great to see a woman take on a "chronic child" character and nail it.The supporting characters that orbit around Millie's planet are well-developed and likable. Yes, the stories are sometimes far-fetched and unbelievable but so were the story lines on Curb Your Enthusiasm (yet another man-child show) and it didn't stop that show from being a huge hit.The writing and comedy style still has notes of the wry, understated nature that was common on Corner Gas. But even though this is not Corner Gas, it's still a good watch.I'm hoping for a Season 3!
View MoreI hope there is a cure for Hiccups because this show is completely awful in every possible way a TV show can be.I thought Dan for Mayor was a stinker but Hiccups is way way WAY worse than Dan for Mayor. Hiccups is maybe the worst show I have ever seen in my entire life.Corner Gas was okay but I didn't really watch it and seeing these two shows, Dan for Mayor and most especially Hiccups, I wonder how these people were able to make a decent show to begin with.These shows are both terrible but if you can only avoid one Hiccups is easily the worse of the two.Hiccups stinks!!!
View MoreWorst Show I've seen in years or ever... It is absolute dribble. The time taken to watch this show is time I could have spent watching paint dry... that would have been more interesting. The acting is bad, the script sucks.. I could go on for hours but you get the picture.. Don't waste time watching this dribble. What do they think we are....stupid.... not! Don't waste time and money making such terrible shows and expect us to watch! I cannot believe anyone would find this interesting and worth watching. Who on earth could find this interesting. I don't write a lot of reviews but this was so bad I thought I would drop a line or two and maybe someone will read this and decide to do anything else but watch this stupid dribble. Are they seriously marketing this show or is it a joke or a test to see how many people will watch anything regardless of quality.
