Overrated and overhyped

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The 'Trivia' notes for this series states that all historical figures were, in fact, alive and active at the time of the series' setting. Well, let's see, the series is set in 1801. Blackbeard, portrayed in two episodes, died in 1718. Catherine the Great died in 1796, Ben Franklin in 1790, George Washington in 1799, the Marquis de Sade is hardly depicted as the 64-year-old he was in 1801, while Lewis and Clark are depicted as old and decrepit though they were 27 and 31... What history books were the people who wrote those 'Trivia' notes reading? The premise of a period comedy starring Bruce Campbell was intriguing enough for me to waste my money and buy this set. I still think the idea could have been an effective comedy. However, 'Jack of All Trades' is 8th-grade-boy humor with a tiresome overkill of sexual innuendo. Each successive episode is increasingly predictable and it is little wonder the show was canceled.

Bruce Cambell is an excellent and talented actor. He is good in these light-hearted goofball roles but he deserves better. The fans are watching this stuff because they know what he's capable of. The fans watch Xena cause it has humor and great T and A. I would have much rather seen good stories. Silly, impossible high jumps and improbable story lines just prompt me to change channels. What a waste of talent. Makes people take the fantasy genre even less seriously than they already did. You cut your own throat in the long run with an overdose of schlock and camp.

i am a big fan of Jack Of All Trades i watch it every single week yeah the show is silly but that is the best part about it the opening credits are great, when you have Robert Tapert Sam Raimi and the great Bruce Campbell you can't go wrong at all and then there is the very sexy Angela Dotchin as Emilia once again you can't go wrong. if you're a fan of one of the greatest directors of our time Sam Raimi and one of the greatest actors of our time Bruce Campbell you will enjoy this show for sure

Okay, we all know the series of TV shows produced by RobertTapert and Sam Raimi (The Action Pack shows) aren't supposed tobe Shakespeare, but COME ON! This one is like a train wreck;it's horrible but I can't look away. I feel embarrassed forBruce Campbell (who's a much better actor than he lets on) as hemouths the inane dialogue and sophomoric sexual humor. And whileI get the impression from Angela Dotchin that she's also moretalented than she lets on, she can't save this show either. Andwhile the DaVincian gadgetry used by our heroes is neat, evokingthe ghost of Briscoe County Jr., the writing just isn't smar
