This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
View MoreThere is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
View MoreThis is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
View MoreIt's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
View MoreI LOVE this show. Sadly I got to it to late. I watch it on YouTube and am wondering why they had to cancel. I am extremely sad it's over. I really felt like the characters were real. Red band society is a bout a group of teenagers with cancer (one with an eating disorder) who form an unlikely friendship. A cheerleader, ex soccer player, ladies man (wants to be), a smart girl with anorexia, and a guy with cancer who came from Mexico for care. At the end of the first episode, one of the characters gives his red bands to the other patients. As a sign of there friendship. It's a heart warming show. Why did you cancel it fox? Why?
View MoreI was very excited about this show for the first two episodes but when "Liar..liar" aired with the doctor's love interest being his young patient's "dead" mother, everything was ruined. The coincidence of that reeks of the poorest writing and directing this season of any new show. Such a shame because the potential for greatness was there. I will watch a couple of more weeks, hoping there will be improvement, but irreparable damage may have been done. The young cast while often "flat" with what seems to be inexperienced acting is appealing enough to elicit powerful emotional audience responses. The theme is not only worthy of one's viewing time, but may be one of the most poignant this season, if the writers get to work. It may not be too late. I would suggest killing off the boy's mother sending him into depression that would cause him to open up to the others a much deeper emotional side of him and likewise, eliciting more touching responses from the other characters. The doctor would also become very distraught and he and the boy would bond in a more meaningful way and they could develop a very powerful relationship integral to the original theme.
View MoreMy wife recorded this show, much like she always does for any new show appearing in the fall lineup. I'll admit to being a little dubious about it, but decided to give it a shot. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The premise is certainly different from most other TV series. The writing is outstanding and the characters are endearing. I always enjoy seeing people from diverse backgrounds bonding with each other. If I were to liken this show to anything else I've seen I'd have to call it "Breakfast Club in a Hospital." I will certainly continue watching Red Band Society and hope it remains as good, if not better, than it started out. Congratulations Fox, you've got a winner here!
View MoreBoring! I didn't even finish watching the Pilot. If I wished to throw away my time then this would be my choice, but the bad thing is I already blew away 30 minutes before turning it off.The jokes are old with a new environment and it involves the same inane, slanderous, stereotyping that all other sitcoms have, hoping to appease the audience of morons. Unfortunately that is where they will succeed, but I don't think this show will last past one season.When will writers be original instead of re-inventing the wheel?Good luck to the writers when they are looking for another job after this show bombs.
