not as good as all the hype
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
View MoreI'm sorry but I just honestly cannot see why anyone would actually like this. It's stereotypical and REAL homeschoolers are NOTHING like they were on this show!! Personally I'm glad it got canceled after the first few episodes. I mean, this kind of show would certainly be alright if everyone knew that homeschoolers weren't really like this, and the whole story was just for the show, but unfortunately not everyone is aware of this. If anyone out there that watched this actually believed this is what goes on in the life of a homeschooler, then I honestly feel sorry for them. This reminds me of the kind of portrayal they have of homeschooled kids in "Mean Girls". It's sad, really, that people think this way. This is complete garbage, IMHO.
View MoreI just saw this show for the first time and loved it. I like how the kids don't quite realize that their differences make them weird to others and the dad is afraid the outside world is going to turn them into typical teens who follow the crowd. Funny how the poster who hated the show turned it back on as though there are no other channels and she couldn't put in a movie. I agree Reba and 8 Simple Rules and pretty much all those other family comedies on the WB are incredibly lame...can we say acting lessons? Frankly i think the o'keefes is the only good one, perhaps a good sign. Although if the past is any indication, it won't get picked up yet Reba will stay on long enough to make syndication (4 years at least). What an awful 4 years. I mean, Freaks and Geeks got cancelled after one season, but 7th Heaven has been on for like 5 years or more! What's wrong w/ the world?!
View MoreAnyone who doesn't like this has had their mind numbed by the major networks. First off the premise is a unique one that I haven't seen treated anywhere else. The fact that these children are sheltered sets the tone for the show. Most of all I applaud this show because it's not afraid to be intelligent.With so many put-downs and inane one-liners on television its refreshing to see television that has snappy dialogue. Every joke absolutely worked. Even the joke about hippies, which are a target I don't understand and the jokes often miss, was great. The test of a good comedy is when you see jokes coming and they're still funny and "The O'Keefe's" passes with flying colors.A good set is crucial to episodic television and the O'Keefe's home is a great set that represents their parents protective attitude. Judge Reinhold was actually truly great playing on his strength as a condescending actor brilliantly, and Joseph Cross also plays his character to perfection.It's one of the best pilots I've ever seen. And with lines like "My dad says watching TV is like letting the media urinate in your eyes," I wish I wrote it.
View MoreI FINALLY have seen this, after hearing about it for a long time, i have finally seen the Pilot! Let me start by saying, this show is hilarious! Matt Weinberg (My personal Favorite) is Hilarious as Mark O'Keefe! The storyline and the characters are just great!Its about a family, who had three kids and the three kids have been homeschooled there whole life, and sheltered from the outside world pretty much. Well the two older ones decide they wanna go to Public School, but since theyre hella smart, they REALLY dont fit in.The show just has a ton of laughs, its great, certainly one of my favorites now. Cant wait to watch it again!
