Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Absolutely the worst movie.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
View MoreWhy do so many shows have to be awful? Especially when you are talking about Canadian comedy shows, not that I would even consider this show to be anything even approaching actual "comedy". Train 48 was just pathetic on every level, with cheap production, no name talent, one single cheap set, and not even a script but having the untalented cast improvise their parts for the shows. It was simply put incredibly painful to watch this pathetic show. Plus it somehow lasted more than one season. What, how on earth could that happen? I have never met a single person who doesn't hate this show, and I don't mean "doesn't watch" or "doesn't like" I mean "Hates" with a capital H. This show is awful. Who are these people and how do they get on TV?
View MoreI can't sit through this show because it lacks story structure, drama, action...all the key elements of film and television. It's like a poor soap opera with absolutely nothing going on. While it is symptomatic of the times to see such a cost-saving television project, this show seems to be created without regard for compelling story telling. As a viewer, it is worse than a waste of my time, it doesn't even deserve my consideration. Furthermore, the acting and video/broadcast quality is very low.
View MoreI'm a loyal viewer of Train 48. Haven't missed a single episode. While it was a little rough going the first couple of weeks, as the cast tried to iron out the quirks, habits and eccentricities of their characters, they've all now settled into their roles and are no longer the one-dimensional stereotypes they were in the beginning.I appreciate that the entirely improvised show is sketched out and performed early in the day, then edited and put on the air at 7 or 7:30 pm across Canada, Monday through Friday. They even did a show on Canada Day! Now how's that for being dedicated professionals, eh?This is a great concept. Very well executed. And while it is only a 13 episode series, I sincerely hope it comes back for another 13 this fall or early next year.Kelly J. Compeau
View MoreTrain 48 is getting the kind of critical acclaim in it's home country of canada which is normally reserved for Atom Egoyan and kids in the hall and hockey. This would be understandable if it was coming only from The National Post. But even the Toronto Star is calling this train wreck a piece of " wonder and awe and melding of genre's of drama and documentary and reality tv". It certainly is not. anyone who remember's Fred Silverman's greatest folly "SuperTrain" will remember the unholy wreck of metal and flesh he unleashed unto the world. If only Train 48 we're so memorable. If riding the commuter train we're this exciting and full of naked female sexual lesbian libido everyone would be riding the Go train instead of wasting money getting women drunk for one night stands at singles bars. This train wreck should only last as long as one night. I wish. This is one train ride i think i'll pass. this is one izzy asper finger to the canadian people that everyone should finger back to the right wing of Global and the national post. this is one time we should stand up and be counted.
