Too much of everything

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

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I really cannot understand why people watch this programme. My mum likes to watch it and when its on I can't leave the room quick enough!It follows a bunch of spoiled,nasty vile creatures the type of people you would try to avoid in real life, otherwise known as the ladettes.See this is where I feel lies the first problem, the main subject of the programme ( the ladettes) are so horrific and thoroughly annoying that I don't wanna waste any time watching their antics. Its kinda like being at a party and there's always one douchebag show off person and because they are so desperate for attention and irratiting, you try your best to avoid them the whole night. The second problem is if we as viewers are instead supposed to take the stance of disliking the ladettes then presumably we are supposed to like the teachers, well they too are unlikeable.They all come across as a self important and pretentious. Another thing (maybe its just me , i don't know) is that the episodes when there is a ball or dinner going on and the ladettes have to impress the gentlemen, i find those episodes really awkward and idea of it quite disrespectful. I know that the teachers are trying to turn the ladettes into ladies but the teachers make sure the ladettes do everything perfect to impress the men , it seems slightly sexist to me. At some points in these episodes the men aren't even on their best behaviour and they hardly even try to be gentlemen like. Its like one rule for one type and a different rule for another. Sometimes the ladettes get upset/cry during the dinner/ball episodes and it's probably because the teachers have tried to change the ladettes so much, even though i dislike the ladettes its not exactly the most light entertaining spectacle to watch. I also dislike how the teachers make sure all the ladettes are wearing perfect lady like clothing with not a piece out of place, just all this effort so the ladette can impress some snooty rich type who lives off his daddys money. It feels like the ladettes are made into just objects who stand and try and look pretty. Thinly veiled sexism is what i see. But that might just be my take on it. But overall this programme will only infuriate you,make you feel uncomfortable or result in a loss of I.Q, don't bother watching it.

The idea of a reality TV show based on an old fashioned finishing school is promising. But this show completely fails to live up to the "lady" end of the idea. The teachers thoroughly fail to live up to my idea of a lady. They raise their voices most of the time. They put little effort into their appearance aside from such distasteful things as enough fake suntan as to turn orange, bleached hair, etc. They go so far as to accuse the girls of being "professional" (I leave you to figure THAT out). All in all I enjoyed the background music and the idea. But the teachers and general execution of this show leave a lot to be desired. I can't see anyone actually becoming a "lady" under the direction of those women.

As I write this, we're waiting in anticipation of the final episode to screen on Pay TV in Australia. Everyone we know who has seen this show makes comment that, in terms of reality TV, this is exactly the right mix of humor, challenge, personality and reality.As the name suggests, a number of "ladettes" are challenged to become "ladies" and go through a weekly elimination to stay with the program.You'll get to see the practical challenges the ladettes (girls) face as they are molded into ladies by the staff of the finishing school, and at times, they certainly have their work cut out for them.No spoilers, no hints -- just watch this if you get the opportunity. None funnier !

As I write this review, ITV have just axed two new reality shows, Fat Families and The Real Good Life. At the same time, we get a further new one, this rubbish, Ladette To Lady.This one is about a group of loud, foul mouthed and unpleasant women who spend most of their time getting drunk and they have to do a variety of challenges to make them more ladylike and attractive to the men. These challenges include cooking meals and learn how to be more polite to others. One of them gets axed after each episode.How you can call this entertainment is beyond me and the language in this is awful. All these women can do most of the time is shout and swear. Also, where have ITV picked up the word ladette and what is a ladette supposed to be? It doesn't seem to be in the dictionary or on the computer spell checker.ITV bosses still haven't got the message that viewers are fed up with shows like this. What a load of rubbish.
