Purely Joyful Movie!

Memorable, crazy movie

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I've been watching the show since the beginning, and it continued to do a good job at finding stories that are woefully under-reported (if covered at all) and yet still socially relevant. Whether or not you agree with the story of the week or the show's take on it, it is important to get information out there and bring these issues into the spotlight. If you have trouble taking the assessment provided by the show you can always follow it up with some more research (hopefully from reliable sources). The only issue that I have with the show (particularly this season) is when John Oliver goes off on one of his feigned outrage bits. It is not that I dislike this type of bit particularly, but most of them are simply not funny and the audience reaction seems to confirm this. Yet, he doubles down and sometimes triples down on the same punchline that bombed the first time. I do find him to have a good wit and be funny in unscripted settings, but I think that his insistence that what he says is hilarious and we just don't get the joke discouraging. I hope that the show continues and improves, as humor in politics is sorely needed.

John Oliver's blunt look at the world is refreshing. Serious topics are covered in depth, while humor is used to keep things from becoming too bleak. It was this show's story on infusion clinics where I learned Richard Nixon was the one who set up kidney dialysis through the federal government. I appreciate the attention to detail, and the honest appraisal of any situation. The few people I've encountered that don't like John Oliver tend to be those who are uncomfortable with facing unpleasant facts. They don't want to face ugly truths, and they tend to be highly judgmental of others. John Oliver is smart, witty and entertaining. With with an open mind, and you will learn something new.

John Oliver is one of the best comedian and political commentator in recent years and since 2014 he is the host of this show in order to comment (obviously) the events that take place in our crazy, weird and sadly miserable existence.In his tonight show he has given analyses to everyone from politician to companies to films and every time the out come is hilarious and insightful. In all honesty his show has been proved for many, myself included, as the best tonight show of our generation.However his work is not only jokes, thesis and a crash-course to politics ,which is not boring. He has taken interview by some of the people,who or whose actions has analyzed. Some of them are the Steven Hawkins, Edward Snow-den and more recently Dalai Lama.Also he and his team have managed to influence political decisions through their work and even going out of their way to inform groups in issues in which have little or no knowledge, and often their well-been is in jeopardy (see for the Tobacco industry).All in all Mr. Oliver is perhaps the best think that happen in HBO since Band of Brothers and Game of Thrones and if you haven seen him yet ,what were you doing in the past years, you missing something awesome .

John Oliver is the unfunny current year guy who does 20 second rants. Then repeats his act for 20 minutes, he attempts to display a form cultural Marxist political view that is common place on the left today. There are the oppressors and victims, if you are a woman or not white you somehow being oppressed by a system that is full of institutional racism. It gets boring quickly, it might be entertaining for SJWs who have been lobotomised.John Oliver has decided that it is his mission to attack the next President of the United States Donald Trump. Sad really, John Oliver has become a meme on the internet, Current Year Guy. A lot of conservatives tuned in after the presidential election to receive their free intake of salt.They found a sad discredited man, continuing with a discredited progressive movement. Comedy Central have moved pretty far left, they may have cancelled shows such as Larry Wilmore's show which was trash. I bet this is the next one.
