Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Cem Lamb This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

jaustinred I watched this program with my two young daughters. We did the experiments, made the beakmobile, made bubbles, made the periscope and many other things. My daughters adored Josie. My daughters let their hair grow long and sometimes had 5 pony tails just like Josie. This program was interesting for me also. It made me laugh and I enjoyed watching it. Paul Zaloom, Alanna Ubach (at 15 years of age) and Mark Ritts were very good together. We hated to see Josie go but my daughters still watched the show with Eliza Schneider, and Senta Moses but my daughters liked Josie the best.

retroman99 Every episode in in the series was an example of organized chaos. Organized because they did the same segments in the same order, but chaotic in the shear randomness of what would be explained. They often took one or two ideas and expanded on it, while most everything else was just a simple question and answer.They had so many random characters. Famous dead guys, like Newton for gravity, fictional characters like Gulliver from Gulliver's Travels, explaining why insects are small, to off-the wall original characters, like Balance Man. One of my most memorable segments was while discussing sweat. They did a sports-themed segment, with a sports announcer named Jim Shorts. (gotta love the puns).Every episode had Beakmania. It would be introduced the same way:You (random verb) 'em, I'll (random rhyming verb) 'em, Let's (random dance)!When they opened the cage, there was always some random, and often hilarious, sound effect. (Don't look at me in that tone of voice!) There was always the random Fast Fact. And, finally, the puns. It was a punapalooza. In addition to Jim Shorts, after a fast fact about a human filling up an Olympic-sized swimming pool in under a day, Lester asked who would care about that. The answer, Mark Spitz! hahahaha.It was on during a time when every station had some sort of science show, from Bill Nye to other, less memorable shows. This show stood out, made science fun, interesting, and cool, and was ahead of its time. I am amazed that Beakman's World didn't have more of an impact on children's television. It was imaginative, cutting edge, and what children's television should have been, and what it should turn into.

carmenyfred This movie and the series are very funny and informative science presentations. One in particular illustrates what some places in the world would look like under water if the Polar Caps melted. But, have you ever watched the ice melt in a glass of water filled with ice. The water level goes down not up as suggested by the trio. Try it and see for your self. Instead of the water level being half way up the Tower of London as shown, one would be able to walk to Paris. Without checking everything they have presented or illustrated, I wonder if there are other questionable assumptions. Throughout history many scientists have given us what they thought were logical conclusions that turned out to be wrong. Perhaps, this should have been pointed out somewhere in the movie or in the series.

Tubular_Bell This show is nothing less than an absolute landmark in educational TV, and dare I say it, in TV in general. It was like they found the perfect formula: the characters, the timing, the scenery, the lines, the sound effects, and just about everything else. Good old Beakman could talk about *everything* using simple speech, good humour, enthusiasm, always aided by his assistant (originally Josie) and not-exactly-aided by the man in the rat costume, Lester. The three characters completed each other perfectly, and all through the episode, there was not a single second wasted: to every line, there was a perfect reply, and to every question, there was a perfect answer. This is brilliance and talent in their highest forms. Beakman's World can make me laugh harder than any adult comedy show out there can, and I still learn great things with it. It was a shame that Alanna had to leave the series ("Sister Act II", remember that?), and had to be replaced. Liza took herself too seriously, and didn't fit in too well with the other characters. Josie was unbeatable.And of course, the show was cancelled. I doubt even Beakman could explain us how the execs had the courage to do that.
