    The Worst Film Ever

    ChanFamous

    I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

    The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

    There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

    This show is awesome and i watch it a lot still. it can be kind of cheesy at times but it is still fun. I'm fifteen and i enjoy it! it comes out on discovery kids if anyone ever wants to watch it or just buy the DVD. they are worth watching. the cast is also entertaining. i knew that i recognized Elisha Cuthbert from the girl next door and house of wax when i first watched the show on TV. it was kinda funny watching her on the show while she was a young teen. i saw the other comment on popular mechanics for kids and i do think that younger people would enjoy the show a lot more than adults. i hope this helped and make sure that you watch it! you will actually learn something from it. enjoy!

    "Popular Mechanics for Kids" was one of my favorite shows when I was younger. I watched it every Saturday morning at 7:30 for over a year. I liked Tyler the host the best. He was funny, clever, and HOT! My favorite "Popular Mechanics for Kids" episode is the episode about Roller Coasters since I love to ride them. This showed me how they ran. I also liked the episode about ghosts. The part of that episode when they were hunting for ghosts actually scared me. Overall I really enjoyed this show. I sometimes still watch it on "Discovery Kids" when I get a chance too. I was sad to see it leave Saturday mornings since it helped me in Science class. I give this show 9/10 stars.

    I have just discovered this show, and although I feel that I'm too old for it, looking at it from a child's point of view, it is probably very entertaining. Perhaps the show's greatest gimmick now that it is in reruns (2003) is that one of the show's young stars is Elisha Cuthbert, who has become a household name through her fame on the Fox's 24. Over all, even though it can be a little over the top at times, if I were still twelve years old (ahh...how those days have come and gone) I definitely would watch this program. It's a mix of the gross-out experiments that your stuffy science teacher never taught you combined with a (slightly) educational element. I still believe that for older viewers (particularly aficionados of 24) the real fun of watching the show is seeing a young Cuthbert talking about everything from zoo animals and explosives to stage make-up and animatronic creatures.

    This program gives kids a bird's eye view into how things like computers and machines work and how things are made. It is colorful, fast paced and appears to have a higher budget than many Canadian-produced TV shows do. The two teenage hosts go all over North America to visit factories and research centers for their reports. Some of them are quite interesting though a bit complex for young kids to understand. The show however seems to have a fixation on the grungier side of things. One segment for example showed how manure is manufactured into fertilizer and actually showed a cow defecating (definitely not a pretty sight!) The show also features a man (Charlie Powell) in between the news segments, doing home made science experiments. In one show, he demonstrated to kids how to make homemade boogers! (now that's educational!)
