Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Quiet Muffin 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.
yasharnaman-791-956322 Love the show! Super funny! And have a crush in Andy Church
ryanmportland It is shot the same way as the office and done well. The writing in this show is great, it's simple, funny and the put together great. There are no great joke lines, but the observation comedy written is spot on. While the writers will never win any awards, they should. The character of Clive, could have his own shown. He is the over the top and keeps catching me off guard with his commentary, causing uncontrollable bursts of laughter. The female "eye candy" Dandy Angy plays more of the straight character caught in the middle and doesn't get many great lines. The show puts her in a couple situations where she can draw some laughs though. A lot of comedies come off as corny, this is not one of them. Watch it and laugh. If you are Posh or a hipster, don't watch this. You won't get it.
graphicsdog I like mockumentaries. I like The Office. I watched all the episodes of Borderline and was mildly amused occasionally, but It just doesn't work. They are trying way to hard to be The Office (USA). Similar characters and relationships. There is a sweet quirkiness about it and the acting is acceptable, but that can't overcome the serious flaws. First, the narration has to go as it adds nothing to the plot. Second, editing is horrible, jumping from situation to situation irregardless of the time line (which is probably why they thought the needed the narration). Finally, the writing is quite stunted and unimaginative. If the first episode does not intrigue you then be warned it doesn't get any better.
Good-Will It's been tried before and unless the script is bang on then any attempt to imitate "The Office" is going to fall flat, as this does.Get some decent writers in who can form characters who are believable and empathetic and then write a script that builds our attachment to them, and hopefully contains some jokes.This goes nowhere very fast, so whoever commissioned it deserves to sit through it on an endless loop for however long this rubbish lasts.Then, and only then, will shows that waste everyone's time (and probably a fair amount of money) be killed at birth like this should have been. 3/10 is for the actors who had to struggle with an incredibly poor script.
