I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

In fact they are greatly unfunny and just because they say much in dry tones does not mean that there has to be any inherent wit to speak of.They have this dull, unattractive (in terms of "personality") and puzzlingly snobby take on what they comment on (sporting events that are already easy targets to begin with). Their commentary in fact is rather terribly pedestrian, obvious and heavy handed which is a shame because the content of the show is something, somewhat dear to my heart - kitschy Americana.If they don't write their own lines (I don't know who's responsible for such trite) they certainly haven't the charm or witty delivery that such a show calls for (E!'s The Soup's Joel McHale would do just fine).The one-dimensional, one-note, mono-toned "personalities" of the hosts are actually doubled considering that they're identical twins (two neurotic dudes with glasses, great - they must be "funny").Twice the unappealing unfunny-ness.

I am a huge fan of "Cheaps Seats" and just want to put in my two cents about this show. Yes, it is derivative of MST3K. But the Sklar brothers have a unique brand of "back and forth" that serves them well. I actually watched some of the events that they riff on back when they were first broadcast. Their comments make me wish I had said some of those things.Randy and Jason rank on each other and the show itself. They included the MST3K gang in one episode! I think they are taking a much-needed fresh stab at the "sacred cow" of sports. Comedy is subjective, but my kids love the show and it was the hit of a family reunion last summer.So, put your tongue in your cheek and enjoy some "Superdogs! Superjocks!" for the absurd exercise it is!

In a day where everyone is focused on special effects and cashing in on following popular trends, it is nice to see a comedy that focuses on one thingbeing funny. Randy and Jason Sklar bring their form of off-brand humor and satirical comedy to a show that they were destined to be a part of.Randy and Jason took the format made popular by Mystery Science Theatre 3000 to make fun of something we love even more than bad science fiction movies, and that's gimmick sporting events. The guys sit back in the "cheap seats" and rag on everything from the rodeos to bowling, poker to putt-putt golf, and they do it in a way that keeps us laughing with their slick wit and obscure references. I mean, where else can you expect to hear about Hannibal Lecter at a Spelling Bee or Rick Fox at a Cheerleading Competition? The only thing holding this show back is its limited exposure. Being on ESPN Classic (which is usually only available by satellite or digital cable) certainly shrinks what would be a huge audience for such an enjoyable show like this one. However, Randy and Jason continue to be original and showcase their tremendous talents on such a great show that some would call vintage, Pam Minnick.

ESPN doesn't have a whole lot of great programming. SportsCenter is great, but it's just a news show. This show is going to be classic. The Sklar brothers are hilarious, you may have seen their comedy specials.
This show is very much like Mystery Science Fiction Theater, but instead of two robots and a guy watching bad movies it is two comedians watching classic old sporting events and make fun of them. The funniest I've seen was an episode which they were ripping on a 1980 wresting match between the Iron Sheik and Kerry von Erik. The show is very funny, tune into ESPN sometime and check it out.
