I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

If you watch The House of blue episode you'll see them taking a screw gun to a piece of wood and he doesn't make it all away flush. I don't know how They can live with themselves knowing that's behind the wall...

This is an excellent show with crafty renovations and a fantastic eye for design. I only wish it were an hour long and showed more of the actual construction. This couple doesn't argue or try to act funny. They solve problems together with the brother/brother-in-law and don't stand around wasting video time like some other flipper/fixer-upper programs. Count me as a regular viewer and even a re-run viewer to jog my memory of techniques used to prepare a house to sell fast. Good on the three of you!

Interesting to see Palm Springs area properties, and the Bennetts seem to address the market well. The episodes I've seen so far focus on affordable homes with realistic profits. I like that they actually show some negative comments at the open houses, which makes the show more believable. We've all got different tastes after all. I would love to see them take on some more expensive properties as well so we could get a rounded out idea of PS real estate. I love a modern take on Mid Century Modern so I thought I'd be blown away by their designs but I'm not. That's not the most important part of a flipping project though - making a profit is. The Bennetts seem to find buyers and make a profit, so they're doing their thing right but I would still love to be rewarded with some "Wow!" designs. My only hesitation with this show is I find Eric and Lindsey annoying. Eric is constantly the class clown and Lindsey seems unnatural and constantly giggling. I don't really want cute when I'm watching a flipping show. I would like it more if they'd be more confident in their professional prowess and cut out the cutesy, But I'll keep watching.

I was a bit skeptical when I saw a flipping show rated over 9 stars (that's up in "Breaking Bad" range), but it's actually very good for what it is. It lacks the more annoying elements found in most other flipping shows: obnoxious and sleazy guys who shout a lot, bleach-blonde wives with no qualification beyond thinking they have an eye for design, heavy scripting, bumbling employee to blame things on, etc.That's enough to put it ahead of the pack. But the couple doing the flipping are pretty funny and geeky. They talk naturally and intelligently to each other, manufacturing neither dissent nor agreement. The production is pretty good too ... nice filming, good aerial shots, editing, background music, etc. And they include both the positive and negative comments from potential buyers - they aren't trying to make every flip look ideal.
