Reviews

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
karenfelske Just being too cutsie playing with people's money. Dont like Jillian. Insulted homeowners house! Attitude and all she talks about is wanting to drink wine and compete with Todd. Not impressed at all. No homework done here. 1st home shown is not a good home . Very underqualified to do what she is doing. Wow! I could go on but you get the drift. Couldnt get rid of the one star rating!
shetor19 The banter between Jillian and Todd is quite amusing. The show is true enough to life, that I disagree with its detractors. You never know what you're going to find when you open up a wall in an old home. Also have to take into consideration that building codes are regularly updated and changed. In Vancouver, if your reno involves more than 50% of the living space, you must install a sprinkler system. Obviously, the detractors haven't a clue as to the cost of such undertaking. The building inspector is the law, and your project is bound by the building code. I love this show, and hope it comes back in 2017. It's fun watching Todd and Jillian, they seem to have great chemistry, and I've learned a lot from Kenny's expert knowledge.
GLArm I just watched the first episode of this show and found it unbelievable that someone could call herself a home designer and plan a project that involved moving the electrical box without realizing it. Hello?!Also, the kitchen & laundry looked great when she was done, but designing a kitchen sink so your head is looking at the wall when you have a lot of other options for it is just bad design. Whenever I see that in a kitchen redesign, I wonder how much time the person who spent designing it actually has spent preparing meals or cleaning up while living with their family or entertaining. (Not much, I figure!)So probably won't see this show again. Too annoying. Plus I've seen a lot of Love It or List It and got too sick of the huge problems that cropped up just about EVERY SINGLE TIME in the current home renovation. Have they no housing standards in Toronto? In my city, there are inspections required every time you sell your house or have major work done so I doubt it would be the disaster that is apparently continually occurring in Toronto -- unless the show is just creating major problems because they need it for their show script! (which is of course very possible and giving a Toronto a bad name in its housing stock is just a byproduct of their show's storyline.)
LynnSATX Although I have watched both Love It or List It shows for as long as they have been on and will more than likely continue to do so, the latest episode [1/9/2015] really worked my nerves! I understand that a lot of money had to go to resizing the deck and moving the footers (which was a given), but, come one, the fact that Jillian had trouble reallocating money to give the couple what they needed before undertaking any renovations was unbelievable to me! With $190,000, I repeat, $190,000, the upstairs should have been renovated as well with a functioning bathroom,to say the least! What about options, compromise and or sitting down with the homeowners to come up with viable modifications to achieve a "win/win" scenario, even if camera time is not devoted to this but implied in some fashion? 1st of all, as the homeowner, I would have only given her $10,000 initially (for example), and when she asked for more money, possibly have given her the rest! But then again, I say this about almost episode I watch of either show and am always pleading with the homeowners through the television to "Hold on to some of your money until you find out how much it is going to take to renovate your very old home!" And, what's up with all of the white walls, cabinets and countertops? Cheaper for Jillian, maybe, but at the expense of creative design aesthetic... It seems as if the designers' own agendas take precedence over the desires of the homeowners, so that they can go back in and complete the remaining projects, just in case couples do decide to side with Todd and list their homes! Furthermore, the contrived drama is truly unnecessary since there is enough of it watching Jillian inform the couples of what she is not going to do for them, which is exasperating and more of a distraction than not! I do like watching the design crew transform ordinary rooms into spacious and functioning living areas, but the journey and end results very seldom seem to meet my expectations as a viewer!
