Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Never watched Jersey Shore & generally avoid "reality" shows, but have in the past become obsessive depending on casting & these kids got me hooked Season 2. Just binge watched Season 1 & have actually come to appreciate all of them - yes, they have their problems & human failings, but they're young & working on it. What's fun to watch is how different they are - & open to airing those differences! - but ultimately pull together for the good of their messy household. The worst stereotypes are perpetuated by the ignorant name-calling locals, it's not usually the kids who go looking for trouble, they keep getting called out. The stuff other people criticize I enjoy - the raunchy girls & sweetheart dudes. Glad they got renewed with a longer season - I'm in!

Unique combo of old and new-school reality tv. The beach setting is a fun atmosphere to watch everyone make the most of their living situation. The humor and partying are my favorite parts of the show. The show could do without some of the drama. As with anything, don't overthink or take the show too seriously. I'm looking forward to new episodes.

This series is hell's bad compared to the original Jersey Shore... I want "Cabs here"....and "t-shirt time" again lol.... Not bunch grown men crying bout there feelings.... Ya first one had issues but not as severe as this new series. I watched five mins of an episode and was done. It time to GTL Again

Unlikable, binge-drinking, whoreish 20-something men and women, living in the armpit of the US.Why MTV felt the need to revisit this formula is unknown. Maybe enough time has passed since the jersey shore that no one remembers how annoying those people were. Unsurprisingly, these people are just as annoying, self-centered and hateable.The ladies, in particular, come across as self-absorbed, angry, aggressive and willing to fight with just about anyone for no reason at all. How men would find this kind of crap attractive is beyond me. Is this how MTV sees young people or is this how people really act now? I'm definitely not in the age demographic for this show (I wasn't when jersey shore was on either) and I shan't be watching any more episodes of it. Be warned, it's likely to cause you to end up with that "smelled a fart" face by the arrival of the first commercial break.
