I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This show gives us insight to why great empires and societies go into massive periods of decline, where the lowest common denominator is used to keep "bread and circuses" for huge throngs of idiots. There is nothing even remotely intellectual, uplifting, informative, or intriguing about these shows(and Jerry is but one of thousands). I just don't see how 30 yrs. of fat strippers who throw food at each other, over a transsexual midget black man, who is also a clone of his brother's high school girlfriend, with audiences screaming and pulling their clothes off, and scripted garbage is possibly benefiting America. HELL, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW IT IS ENTERTAINING, for that matter, at this point. The stories are BEYOND ridiculous and mostly fake, but either way, it is the most contrived and pathetic garbage ever conceived by mankind and put on camera for daytime viewing. You would be better off living in a swamp(as many of the creatures on Springer seem to do), if this is your prime source of TV entertainment on a regular basis.Perhaps the only uplifting thing about this is the fact that every race and creed of people are portrayed as similar cookie cutter morons and trash. YAY!!! We can all celebrate the diversity of America's biggest douchebags and mental cases!!! Hurray!Even sadder, Jerry Springer was once a mayor(no surprise that a politician gravitates to this train wreck of filth). The episodes featuring "klan members"(probably friends of Jerry's backstage help) calling Jerry Jewish slurs and ugly names are especially ridiculous, as if any of this is realistic or likely in society. Every person up there looks like a 400 pound elephant or a carnival worker on meth. This all adds to the degradation of Western society, just like the fall of Rome. Eventually, great nations or empires become empty shells of their former selves, overspending on crap, overexerting their military spending around the world, focusing on extreme decadence, luxury, and depravity; bringing in foreigners to replace all the idiots and heirs to the original successes who now worry about nothing but sex, addictions, and wasting other people's time and money, etc. This show would be hilarious if there weren't millions of losers actually enjoying it on a daily basis on every couch in the projects and trailerparks of the USA. They won't read a book or take an interest in world affairs or community/civic duties, but can't miss an episode of this mind-numbing fecal matter for the mentally-stunted idiot masses.

Lately the View has become tiresome and nauseating with Rosie O'Donnell at the helm. But at least there is Jerry Springer. I first watched this show when it aired in the beginning. It never intended to become a down right outrageous talk shows with guests that are equally outrageous. Of course, they are considered white trash, usually the bottom of the barrel regarding class and status in life. Of course, I think Jerry Springer would be our next President if he wasn't born in London, England. He is charming, intelligent, and deserves better but he is doing a service to those people who tell their outrageous stories. Do they go to the show for free trip to Chicago to air their dirty laundry? What are their motives? Maybe it's because they can't get the help needed anywhere else. Jerry doesn't even admit to watching his own show. But the View has gone into cat fights and a subtle viciousness of dislike among it's hostesses that even Jerry wouldn't dare handle. Jerry's guests are not nice, formal, educated, attractive, or suitable but they are part of an America most of us don't see or choose not too. They are the disenfranchised. They more likely to be poor and work as exotic dancers or strippers. Oh well, as long Rosie doesn't come and ruin his show, it will succeed because Jerry is a nice guy. People are now beginning to see his appeal from his appearances on Dancing with the Stars. Finally, the audiences are beginning to see that with Jerry is what you see is what you get.

The Jerry Springer is one of the best talk-shows I ever seen compared with all the other talk shows, Maury, Sally, Montel, etc. I watch it every day Mon to Fri, 5 days a week, with all the guests fighting all the time every day, and always funny, and fun to watch. But for the people who don't like the Jerry Springer Show, all I can say is you don't have to watch it, if you don't like what you see on TV just change the channel, it's that easy click. But for me I watch it all the time, and one of the best shows to watch. The show has been on the air for 15 year, and hope to get 15 more. And hope the show never ends, it is one of the best!!!

Love him or hate him, Jerry Springer is the show with guts. Jerry Springer has a lot of talent and lots of it. If another were to host the show it would be like drying paint, boring. The Springer show makes you forget about the real world for one hour and dive in the world of others. The Jerry Springer show will never get old as all involved keep it young. Sure people complain about some of the topics but look at day time soaps, their story lines centers around bed hopping, lies you name it they have it. I think Jerry Springer is the perfect show if for just one hour you want to get entertained and leave all your problems behind you.
