A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

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.

I used to love PTI but Michael Wilbon is now an angry man who shouts over Tony and gets irate on almost every subject. I wonder if he is trying to copy Stephen A. Wilbon comes across as going through a life crisis. I do not find his thoughts very insightful whereas Tony usually is reasoned and calm when expressing his opinions.

Pardon The Interruption was one of the best sports shows on TV. Host's Tony Kornheiser, and Michael Wilbon have always been a little out of date to the younger sports crowd, but it used to work very well, ironically. As they have aged and with the departure of Reali, the show is a shell of it's once former greatness. It seems more and more they just want to disagree and not give any valid reasons for their disputes. The show had a fresh and unique take, giving segments timed amounts that they may slightly go over, but for the betterment of the topic. Now they give over-played topics six minutes and continue disagreeing for additional minutes at times. It's truly become a half-hour gab fest. In my honest opinion this show was once the flagship of sport shows. Tony Kornheiser is too out of touch and Michael Wilbon is bigoted and often racist, it's uncomfortable to watch. At least Around the Horn is still watchable, I thank PTI for what they've done for that show. Also, Highly Questionable, a show I did not care for when I first saw it, has become one of the funniest shows on television.

Unless you live in a volatile family situation or are from New York City and are used to shouting, what is the attraction of this sports talk show? Most people are tired of hearing people shout over one another. We get enough of that on political talk shows. I know sports is fun to debate. I've been doing that with friends for years, but there is no reason to shout and constantly interrupt each other....in "the name of entertainment."I could still put up with abrasive shouting of co-hosts Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbons but it's the other things, really, that made me lose interest in this show. What things? Ridiculous bias on the part of the hosts, particularly Kornheiser, who cannot stop interjecting his ultra-Liberal political beliefs. I lost track how many times this idiot had to give me his two cents on which candidate he liked best (the looniest, of course) during all the primaries. What has that got to do with sports? Nothing.Also, after awhile, the show's introduction in which Kornheiser feels he has to try to imitate Howard Stern with some raunchy joke, gets tiresome fast...and is another reflection on the absolute moral bankruptcy of this so-called "sports guy." Hey, I like a laugh or two along with my sports commentary, too, but too often his jokes are tasteless.Wilbons? He just isn't interesting enough to make any comments about here. Nor are the substitutes in this show, all of whom, by the way, have the same twisted values as the regular hosts. This could be a very good show if you had two more mature guys who always were a little more balanced in their reporting and a little classier in their humor.

*No spoilers included, since there is no plot to give away. It's a sports show :)*Yes! Finally, a sports commentary show that doesn't have to use scantily clad women and crude humor (Best Damn Sports Show Period) or childish, insults to get viewer attention by using "shock value" (anything with Jim Rome). Tony and Michael have amazing chemistry. They play so well off each other and play to each other's strengths, which only strengthen the show itself.The format of PTI is easy to understand and fast-paced, which is good. Too often, sports shows drag a particular subject on and on for eternity and beat the dead horse even further. PTI usually allows 2:00 for each subject and then moves on, no matter where Kornheiser and Wilbon are in discussing it. The two tackle the big headlines in sports and even shift to other areas (like Paris Hilton, Saddam's capture, etc.), but mix it perfectly with their meal ticket of sports.The hosts have a perfect mix of argument, agreement, criticism, and praise. The rapid-fire delivery and organization make PTI the best sports show on TV today. While the hosts fire at each other, Stat Boy delves into the numerical arguments that are being heaved and deciphers which are accurate and which need correction. I love that feature. Rather than banter on about a subject and invent numbers to support a position, PTI corrects itself every show.Bottom line is- if you are a sports fan, WATCH THIS SHOW. You will not be disappointed.Rating- 9/10
