BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
vathraq I don't know why any "poor person" would want to appear on this show. Living in extreme poverty, you get to experience a whole week with the budget of some of the most privileged people in the country.So what happens after that week when you have to return to your old life? Do you forget all the things that you had or just imagine it was some kind of holiday that your friends and family got to watch?Of course, you have to return home with the memory of all the things that you can't afford. The giant house with a different bathroom for each member of your family, the chance to never have to turn the heating off when it's cold because you're worried that you might not be able to pay the electric bill. Eating more than one or two ready meals a day when your fridge was empty.Of course, it's quite the ego boost for the "rich family". Go back home and realise how much you missed your home cinema, swimming pool and hot-tub, but does it really do anything to help them appreciate their lives more?Probably not, they don't care about poverty as long as they don't have to deal with it.
peterd12345 Would have been better if rather than a week, they'd swapped for a year. Really would have highlighted the differences between the rich and poor in the UK if we'd seen an episode a week covering how the different families coped for a whole year. Pretty tasteless otherwise. Shame.
