Good concept, poorly executed.
Blistering performances.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
View MoreThis is an adult talk show. So if you don't like talk shows, this will not appeal to you. If you don't like discussions about adult topics, like sex, don't watch. If you hate everything about the Kardashians, the title should be a clue.Khloe's show takes place on a set that resembles an open-concept kitchen-livingroom combo, which is designed to relax her guests. It works very well as do the custom alcoholic beverages concocted by the in-house chef. Many of Khloe's guests are friends or family, further adding to the homey atmosphere.The result is a fun, funny, titillating talk show that tries to avoid heavy doses of serious topics. Contrary to what was written in another review, Khloe is very good at hosting and she exerts control over her guests so things remain light. And seldom do the guests talk over each other--something I despise in panel shows. She even has a self-deprecating sense of humor; the first episode starts with her saying, "Yes, bitch, it's another Kardashian show!" Khloe says she wants the show to be a "safe haven" for her guests. She knows how to get her guests to open up as well as Barbara Walters. As a result, the show creates more gossip than it divulges.Central to the show are numerous games--party games that is. There are variations on charades, "kocktail" pong, truth or dare, and many more. They even do some prank phone calls to friends.To sum things up, it has a beautiful set, style is evident everywhere, Khloe is likable, they promote responsible drinking (designated drivers), and there are no hashtags (yeah!). And the humor is risqué. I don't care much for the bit where they act out Twitter wars, but the other games are fun and they make the show feel like you are watching a real party in Khloe's home.
View MoreThe narcissism of this family is reprehensible. Khloe's ego is as big as Mount Everest. Now, nothing wrong with ego, but when there is zero personality and zero wit, then ego is a monstrosity as is Kocktails with Khloe!This show is embarrassingly boring and guests with big personalities such as Ru Paul and David Arquette cannot do anything to save it, mainly because Khloe is just so into herself and cannot respond in a conversation with any wit or self-deprecating humour. Instead, guests suck up to her and tell her how smart she is and how wonderful she is...instead of using humour to offset these compliments, Khloe just basks in the glory and says, "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you".Another example of Khloe's typical conversation: SEX, SEX, SEX...she cannot converse on real world issues or current events, thus her favourite agenda item for the night is talking about Sex...which gets quite boring very quickly.
View MoreAnd that's saying something. I would, in my humblest of opinions, state that: I would not watch this show again.The show does not add to our already starving reality TV dependant minds. Bunch of Kardashians saying whatever comes to mind (to them) which is brilliant, don't get me wrong. I'm not sure if it is too much to ask to have a TV show that informs/enlights and at the same time brightens our horizon?Maybe some stargazing? Or some Mudgazing; life is everywhere.Just, barely here, on this screen.That is all I really have to contribute, for everything else that has been said about clan Kardashian does not bear repeating.
View MoreI thought it was a great show and Khloe was amazing, Snoop was awesome and the whole thing was just great all around!! The actual drinks looked delicious and it was funny, interesting, and light hearted. She addressed a lot of questions that people have been asking recently and also addressed a lot of issues in the public and media right now, like when a woman dates during a divorce its horrible but if a guy cheats during a marriage sometimes nothing is said at all. It was insightful and really allowed the viewers to see a more candid and fun version of the girls. It really sets them apart from the Keeping up with the Kardashians show and lets Khloe kind of do what she wants to do and let people see her for how she is. Naturally a great personality and very beautiful. Im hoping this show airs for a long time to come!!
