good back-story, and good acting

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I believe that punk'd is a really good show, and that Ashton Kutcher has awesome ideas. The show itself isn't funny, but seeing the celebrities reaction to the pranks is classic. I mean, come on, is it not funny to see Justin Timberlake or Avril Lavign or any one of the rest of the celebrities be tortured? I doubt celebrities like the show, but it is a good show for the regular people who watch it & like it. If I had to rate this,I would rate it five stars. You get to see what happens to celebrities when they get annoyed, and boy do they get annoyed! Someone who wrote about Punk'd said that it's illegal to do what they do. No matter what people say, I like Ashton and I like the show.

Do I ever miss Candid Camera. That show actually showed some imagination in regards to the pranks they pulled. Of course if I was 10 years or younger, I might find Punk'd a good show. But now that I think about, I would still have to pity myself. Believe me, I am an immense fan of the practical joke. Having had many pulled on me as well as coming up with some good ones myself, so I can't understand how anyone can take the fine art of practical joking and reduce it to something so lame and pathetic. I think the makers of this show forgot that practical jokes are supposed to be funny and fun for all involved. Not just for themselves without including the audience or victims. Hopefully with all this DNA and stem-cell research going on, someone will be able to bring Allen Funt back. Until then I can't stand watching this lame second-rate sitcom reject trying to mug it up for the camera when there is really nothing to mug about at all. Truly sad.

While it's true that MTV hasn't produced a decent non-music show since the 1980s, Punk'd takes the cake as the worst show they've ever bothered to air. Igonoring, for the moment, that Ashton Kutcher is an annoying idiot's idiot, the "pranks" that they pull often look like real sting operations or whatever "official impersonation act du-jour" they're pulling this week. Personally, I'd love to see the entire cast and crew arrested and jailed for imitating law enforcement officials.I was totally ambivalent towards this brain-melter until the subject was Pink, one of my favourite people, so I admittedly have had a bias against it since then. If I was ever the subject of this festering mound of compost, I would sue MTV and the makers of this show within the hour I found out that it was all staged.Unfortunately, since the whole show is so intellectually devoid, that problems means that it'll be around forever and ever due to the high ratings that corn-fed suburban trash-o-philes that watch it.

Well, at least on some. It is worth watching for a good laugh. Anybody who doesn't like this are looking way too much into it. It is supposed to be a kind of stupid funny. I mean all these people are just being messed with. I definitely liked the one they did with Katie Holmes or the Nude shopper, that was funny. it is just for fun and laughs. Probably more enjoyable watching if you are a little buzzed but funny none the less.
