Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Syl I have been a Saturday Night Live fan since I first saw it as a child. So it doesn't surprise me that it's originator Lorne Michaels who is also a proud Canadian has contributed by producing a homespun all male revue featuring the hilarious, obviously homosexual Scott Thompson in the cast. Dave Foley is better here than on Newsradio because he can expand his comedy styles. There are others here are who equally important but there are no women. Instead of kids in the hall, it should be called boys in the hall. They don't mind getting dressed up as women. It's hilarious with Mark McKinney as the chicken lady, Kevin MacDonald, and Bruce McCullogh in the cast. I love Thompson playing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth addressing Canada. I love Canada and I love seeing snow outside. God Bless Canada and this wonderful troupe of entertainers.
collinsnetty First of all, this show has me in stitches. I used to watch it years ago when it was given far too little airtime on one of the UK channels but now it's out on DVD I've bought the lot.The 5 kids; Mark, Kevin, Dave, Bruce and Scott are not only great comedians but excellent actors, making every scene worth watching.They do dress up for the scenes and are very convincing as women at times - surely proof of their acting skills - and they do have regularly recurring characters, such as headcrusher, Darill, Buddy Cole, cops, etc.All in all, I'd say if you haven't watched it - try it. And when you try it, give it a chance. With any new show, you need to watch at least a few episodes to know the actors and the characters well and I'm sure you'll end up loving it as much as me!
S.R. Dipaling I've probably seen every episode of this show's six year run,could probably recite most of the sketches and I keep track of what each of the five from Canada is up to. And I still wish this show were back with new programs. Alas,that would be folly,as they all have moved on and gotten much older,thus making them not really "Kids" at all.I've often wondered which of the five was my favorite. Long story very short:I can't really decide. They're ALL very funny and talented! (I suppose if pressed,I'd say I tilt slightly more toward Dave or Mark) Their ability to mimic people's foibles and quirks,male OR female,and the writing's ability to capture the raw humor in absurdity and behavior made this show quite the stand-out of sketch comedy programs. This show had the rare distinction of claiming three(count'em,three!)networks as its home before each member decided to mutually end the show in late 1994/early,early 1995. It's kind of a shame that their careers didn't really take off(Dave and Scott had reasonable amounts of success since.Kevin works very steadily.Bruce directs and Mark...well,other than touring with the boys on their reunions,I'm not sure exactly how much this guy's working!),but they will always be remembered as the natural successor/Canadian cousin to "Monty Python"IMHO. I look forward to getting some of the eps(perhaps someday all)on DVD someday soon.
Aaron1375 I liked this one a lot more than Saturday Night Live even though some of the skits were downright bizarre. The cast virtually remained the same through its entire run I believe. There were a few others in the skits over the years, but mainly they were just background. The skits though were just one of a kind as most of the time you did not know what to expect or where the laughs were going to come from. Though my favorite skit is a combo of two recurring character's as little Bobby has to face of against Satan in a guitar duel. I always get a good laugh at this particular skit. Never really cared for the head crushing guy though.
