Reviews

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
cheriec-89753 The Lowe Files are great. I first turn it on because i really like Rob Lowe and wanted to see what it was about. I was hooked from the beginning. This is a show we all can relate it. Everyone of us at one time or another have heard stories like this and wondered if they are true,. The Lowe men go out to check it out. And have fun at the same time.
dad_karate So Rob Lowe and his kids take on the paranormal , bizarre and cryptids. They are approaching it in a fun manner and clearly given the nature of how they are handling it, everything they do is sincere. I can't speak for the guest "experts", but Rob is trying to keep it as real as possible. The only weakness I see is they use the one day approach, which gives you the odds of being bit by a shark in your swimming pool of finding something that is so elusive it's questionably real at all.
absintheaffliction My wife and I are both Rob Lowe fans, and she a paranormal TV fan in general. We both find this to be a cut above the older shows for the most part. The family dynamic is great. The humor is an aspect sadly missing from most other shows that really makes this one something else. They genuinely look to be having fun out there, and maybe its just because he's been an actor for so long, but it doesn't seem as though there's the scripted points to plow through like a lot of shows. They seem like they're mostly just filming the events as they go. The varied subject matter should keep the show fresh for a little bit as well. On the other shows, there's only so many times you can say that a stone is too square for a human to have cut it or listened to a crackle on a voice recorder or seen the glow of eyes in the forest before it gets stale and all seems to blend together.The only downside is that at a half hour, they can barely begin to scratch the surface of whatever subject they're looking at. Episode 1 at an hour runtime was fantastic, allowing them to really explore and shine, but the next two, while still good, just didn't make for more than a tentative glimpse at the subjects. Would easily be a 9+ with a longer runtime.With luck, popularity might allow them to expand to full hour long shows in the future, as long as the short current shows don't dampen enthusiasm too much.
marciaoh This series is surprisingly easy to watch with Rob Lowe as the likable dad traipsing around California tracking ghosts and paranormal activities with his two skeptical, college age sons. I usually avoid programs purporting to uncover the spirits of dead people using strange and often ridiculous gadgets, flashing lights and squeaky noises. But, this show offers a tongue-in-cheek look at the supernatural with a bonus opportunity for viewers to see historical sites throughout the state. Watching Rob Lowe interact with his sons reveals a happy family enjoying time spent together offering a unique opportunity for viewers to see seemingly well-adjusted Hollywood kids, normal and healthy.
