    Such a frustrating disappointment

    Sexyloutak

    Absolutely the worst movie.

    InformationRap

    This 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.

    Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

    Drew Carey is the host of this 'game' where the audience picks the style and the story that the four 'contestants' must improvise a skit from. The contestants are usually quick minded comedians. The usual suspects are Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, and Wayne Brady with sometimes a guest trying to keep up.This has great fun, and originality at the start. It was truly laugh out loud. After a couple of seasons, the games get repetitive. There's only so many games they had to play with. But it's asking too much to keep it fresh all the time. They do have guest stars once in awhile, but they're usually ineffective.

    Wildly original, laugh-out-loud funny, impressing performances. That and more is Whose Line Is It Anyway?I started watching this show around 2001 and been loving it ever since. I didn't know much about improv comedy before watching this and was pleasantly surprised afterwards.Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Wayne Brady, Greg Proops, Brad Sherwood, Chip Esten, Jeff Davis and more are the people who have to act out scenes using improvisation as their only tool. It's great to see a show that manages to be so creative and funny at the same time and allowing the performers to show their wide abilities. Whether it's Ryan playing a foal being born, Colin playing a man being gradually eaten by ants, or Wayne and Jeff singing an opera about motorcycles, this show has it all.Hosted by Drew Carey, who does a good job of interacting with the performers and even participating in a skit at the end. He's not that good at improv, but one of the great things about Whose Line is that even when the performers can't entirely handle a game (like Colin in If You Know What I Mean) it's hilarious as well.So, get ready for some of the best material that comedy has to offer. Tapioca!

    This show is unlike many other comedy shows. Its takes simple games from theatre studies and places real comedians. I first caught this show when I was flicking through channels and since then I have become a addict. The performers play off each other beautifully and have some great ideas and keep making the audience laugh out loud, literally;Drew Carrey is sometimes annoying. But he was in the original so I guess its natural to have him apart of this show.Colin is simply hilarious, he is quick witted and makes the audience laugh with the simplest of things. Ryan is my favourite he is just as funny as Colin but he has his moments with physical theatre. Wayne. Wayne is a genius simply put. He can improvise anything into a song and knows how to make the crowd laugh. Special guests which are my favourite are, Chip who is extremely lovable. Jeff does a mean impression of Christopher Walken, Brad is funny while Greg is very funny with the Superhero games. It always keeps me smiling.

    I never have never seen a show that I have laughed at as hard as this one. Drew gets a lot of guff by fans of the original British series, but I thought he was a worthy successor to Clive Anderson, and seemed to be having a lot more fun as host. Whereas Clive would barely crack a smile, Drew was laughing his butt off the entire time. The only thing I didn't like about Drew was him always feeling the need to explain that the points don't matter. He did it so much that it really got annoying. Oh, and also when they started having audience members participate in "Sound Effects", he always seemed to pick the worst possible people (usually little old ladies) to provide the sounds for Colin and Ryan.Doing the bulk of the jokes were Whose Line (both versions) regulars Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles. They had been working together since the British version in 1991, and had gotten to the point where they seemed to know what the other was thinking. Wayne Brady really became the breakout star of the series. It was hard for them to not make him a regular along with Colin and Ryan, because he was so good. The only draw back is that it meant less of a variety in performers, which translated into some shows having a "been there, done that" feel. The other supporting cast was really good with Greg Proops, Brad Sherwood, and Chip Esten being the standouts. Josie Lawrence, from the British version, made a surprise appearance in season two. The only one I never understood why they kept bringing back was Kathy Greenwood. I guess they needed a token female, because that was about all she was good for on the show. I would rather they have brought back Denny Siegel, or had Kathy Kinney make more appearances, because at least they were funny.
