Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

bcassidyt It took me at least one season of shows to make the leap from feeling disgusted to being as accepting of the Brown Family as they are of each other and the rest of us, too. I think that there are many life and marital lessons to be learned by watching the Browns and I wish I had been exposed to them before getting married myself. I'd have saved myself a world of heartache.The women are strong and determined, each in her own right. Kody is upbeat, accommodating, respectful, and capable of making very tough decisions in the best interest of the family.The family members are completely open and accepting of freedom of choice when it comes to religion, sexual orientation, lives, and life styles. I appreciate their acceptance - which is different from tolerance - of others.I have become very fond of this family and appreciate that they put themselves out there as they have. I have read comments of people discussing same sex marriage and write, "the next thing will be polygamy." If that means choosing the life modeled by the Browns, I say live and let live and make it legal. This is a healthy, loving, united family which serves as a great model for all of us, and if we all lived by their moral standards and convictions, the world would be a much better place.

downtownblah I have watched two episodes. During the first one, I could not help but think some of the major themes of "Big Love," (minus the compound) were present and thought the show was just okay, not great. However, after viewing the next episode, I was annoyed and bored because it repeated roughly 60 percent of the prior episode. Soap operas do some repeating but this show takes this technique to a whole new level.If you kind of liked "Sister Wives," you will really enjoy renting "Big Love." If you really liked "Sister Wives," then you should see a neurologist. Sorry...

allworkpeace Having read reviewers who insist polygamy must remain illegal, I had to provide my vote for tolerance for the lifestyle of people who don't hurt anybody or cheat anyone. That's the Browns, pure and simple. Kody and his four wives entered the relationship as consenting adults, and they're raising all their children with two primary rules: they'll be educated to the extent they choose, and they'll choose whether they'll be polygamists as adults.I've written articles about the fact that illegality of polygamy protects people who break other, much worse laws, such as spouse and child abuse and defrauding the government.I understand polygamy doesn't sit well with many people, but something must be done to protect children from being forced into marriage, especially with older men, and prevent tax and welfare cheating. Some sort of legal registration of these relationships could protect everyone and let people live their chosen lifestyle in peace.With all the negative press about abusive groups like the Warren Jeffs clan, it's refreshing to see people like the Browns living the polygamous lifestyle without hurting anyone.

cobzut In many neighborhoods, families and even church congregations we use the phrase that was taken from African Villages, "It takes a village to raise a child". When I think of all of the people involved in actually raising a family a village would be so helpful. While I understand the controversy surrounding the Brown family, I , even as a married woman do not see what the big deal is, even as a woman of faith.I believe In the Bible many men took several wives, I can not give you any quotes as I have not dug deeply for them. However, what I do know is that 17 years or so ago, Kody Brown loved a woman and married her legally. He fell in love with the rest of the women and had a ceremony to celebrate. While many of us choose to go in a different direction, noting they are doing seems to be illegal or in anyway immoral. I just heard the teaser for the news and there were three crimes involving sex and very inappropriate situations, those are things that should upset us. Not a family trying to raise their family in a way that is look on as different. Watching the show I see so much of the ups to their family life. For one thing help and teamwork. How many of us wives are completely overwhelmed while our spouse is happily oblivious to our never ending to do list. They also have someone to come home to not only for themselves but for the kids when they come home from school or other events. There is cooperating with the meals, finances, cleaning even dealing with the heart ache that comes with raising teenagers. When new babies arrive, they can provide the same kind of support some native tribes and early settlers provided for women who have just given birth. There are other women in the home to assist with the baby so the mother does not become overwhelmed and can get enough rest to perform the duties a mother needs to do in an infants first few months of life. I do think of this situation though an apply it to myself and it does tug at my heart strings. I can not imagine how it must feel to think of your husband sleeping in a bed with another woman right down the hall. I suppose that if I grew up in a family where polygamy was the norm then it might be an easier pill to swallow. If it was not though, I would have a hard time not being jealous. All in all, I really enjoy the show. I understand people are asking why are they making a show about this topic however, I laugh sometimes when people talk about all of the TLC programming; TLC stands for The Learning Channel. This means that the programming on this channel is intended to educate us on topics that we might not know about all ready and are curious about. If they showed programs about things we did know about, it would be pretty boring. Also, if we are going to start attacking this family for their way of life than we should probably start attacking large families who lived together. Remember Dynasty- everyone loved that show.
