Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

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 attempted to watch this, and was highly disappointed. Don't expect intelligent and insightful humor ala Amy's brother David amidst this dreck... it is the polar opposite. But if you're into poop, fart and boner jokes, you'll be in seventh heaven. This is bathroom humor aimed, I assume, at those who've had several bongs, which can only explain why many ecstatic reviewers have heralded this crap as "the best television writing ever." I assume that those who hate such simpleton humor were unable to watch long enough to care to submit a review, but I am just sending out a warning shot to those unaware viewers who are looking for high-end comedy. The characters overact. The shock factor is set to 10. And the laughs are set to zero (unless, of course, you seek juvenile, low-brow humor.) I made it through 40 minutes, praying the whole time it would turn the corner toward worthwhile entertainment, but alas, it just got worse and worse. And beware of Amy's ever-present and hammy overbite expression - it will set your eyes rolling. It was nice to see cameos by recognizable comedic actors I enjoy, but I can only assume they agreed to participate as a favor to the Sedaris family.To those who loved it, I'm sorry... this is my opinion. It was so bad it inspired me to write my first review.

I can't believe that there are people who actually think this dog turd is funny. I watched my first episode and remember thinking it must have been their worse one ever and gave it another chance, figuring it had to improve. It didn't. Now comes Comedy Central, polluting the airwaves once again with a butt-ugly 46 year-old high school freshman. Look, nobody who survived dropping out of high school and makes it through life for 20 years would go back to high school, they'd just take a G.E.D test or just say screw it. Beyond the idiotic concept, the "acting" is wooden and looks like a junior college drama production. If you want good comedy with drug-related humor, go rent the Cheech and Chong movies and quit while you're ahead. Watching this show will do nothing but waste your life in 30 minute chunks.

Words cannot explain Strangers with Candy. You need to see it to believe it and even then you'll be scratching your head in disbelief (while laughing your ass off of course).The premise is that of a sick and twisted after school special from hell where all of the wrong lessons are learned. (Great one from Jellineck – `if you're going to smoke marijuana you have to be prepared to spend a lot of time laughing with your friends'). It is one of the smartest, subversive and exhilaratingly un-pc shows ever. It a makes fun of authority figures, the handicapped, minorities and that's just for starters. Each episode is crammed with one-liners and sight gags so numerous they'll make your head spin.It's all in the delivery, folks. Principal Blackman (Gregory Hollimon), Noblet (Steven Colbert) and Jellineck (Paul Dinello) are all pitch perfect. In the hands of lesser talents these jokes would fall flat. The show has huge laughs. The entire Hit & Run episode comes to mind, as does the scene in The Virgin Jerri when Drake removes Jerri's toe separator from her filthy feet and sniffs it lustily or when Jerri recites the poem Packing a Musket to the class.I could go on and on but just trust me - you HAVE to watch this show.

This show was amazing! It gleefully ripped apart the bad afterschool specials that were forced us on as kids. Instead of treacly lessons about how one wine cooler will lead you into a life of alcoholism, or about how peer pressure to smoke pot is something you should say no to, etc... this show never fails to push the "wrong" lesson on the all-too-willing audience. Of course, it's done in such an absurd way, that the only people who would be offended by this are probably people who didn't stay up late enough to actually watch the show.This is the show that has lines like, "Having a girlfriend is so... gay." and "I'm gonna wear my syphilis as a badge of pride! It says I'm not afraid to take risks!" Need I say more? This was one of Comedy Central's best original series, better than Crank Yankers and better than South Park. The only travesty is that it wasn't on long enough.
