Alicia I love this movie so much

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

mannin11 Having seen the first five seasons of Gogglebox, the original British version of The People's Couch, that is outrageously smart and witty, I was interested in watching the American version. So how can I put this tastefully? The People's Couch is like comparing an inflatable woman with a beautiful, real life flesh and blood one. A Godawful imitation of the real thing. What a pitiful, abysmal disaster. Where the British version tapes ordinary people in ordinary homes, all with delightful and variegated personalities, brimming with acidic humor, The People's Couch tapes airbrushed, impeccably made-up, tastefully garbed viewers that come across as witless clones from The Stepford Wives. Don't any of these people interact with other members of the human race? The producers of this show have obviously taken the British format in their selection of viewers (i.e. a handful of black characters, a trio of gays, a couchful of old people, a couple of families etc) but what they obviously failed to do at the very outset was interview them to see if they were actually INTERESTING and SMART. Most of the viewers come across as incredibly dumb and plasticized versions of real people. Why on earth didn't the producers interview a cross-section of the American public, people with street-smarts, instead of simply grabbing a fistful of "types", selected by age and racial make-up, with no consideration for whether they have personalities suited to TV. The two gay guys in the British version are hysterically funny in their down to earth bitchiness, whereas the American trio, exquisitely made up and clothed in the latest fashion, come across as empty-headed narcissists who merely pose in front of the camera with no opinion on anything. The trio of black viewers equally have nothing to offer, unlike the two black women in the British version who are a fantastically glorious delight in their honest and outlandish reactions and opinions. The three old women in the American version, substituting for the elderly married couple in the British version, are the only ones that have anything to offer in the way of entertainment. So many reality shows are condemned for setting up situations for the camera and The People's Couch is no exception. The HUGE problem with the American version of Gogglebox is that it is so incredibly artificial. Nothing appears to be natural and the "performers" are as dull as ditchwater. If the producers want the American version to continue then they need to get their act together and choose armchair viewers who can give unvarnished opinions on the state of American programming and actually have personalities suited to TV. To those who have never seen the original Gogglebox, look for it on the Internet and you will discover a glittering diamond instead of this pitiful zirconia.

saxophonekitten This show is funnier than I expected it to be! I had nothing else to do so I decided to just give this show a shot. I quickly fell in love with the different families/friends and soon couldn't wait to see the next episode. It's hilarious seeing other peoples opinions on something you've watched, or to see them talk about something you've never seen and might be interested in. Watching a T.V. show about people watching T.V. shows seems absurd at a first, but after you actually start getting into it it seems more like a Talking Head type show (Best Week Ever, I love the 90's, etc.) it's also similar to The Soup but less crass. If you find yourself interested in shows similar in nature than I think you'd really enjoy this one. I absolutely love this show, and hope it's around for years to come.

imdb-211-521878 This show is a poor copy of the original (gogglebox). As is typical it's incredibly over produced and shows too much of the content the viewers are watching and not enough of their reaction/comments on it. That said, this may be a good thing since they are all idiots who look like they've spent hours getting ready to be on TV; which entirely misses the point of the original show. It's such a shame that this excellent concept has been butchered by state-side producers, the US public deserves so much better than this plastic paff. I look forward to the day when we actually get shows that have been faithfully translated from their original countries.

msroncon-955-943130 I can't believe I was watching a show about people watching TV.....but I was, and loved it. I laughed so hard. This show is not to be missed. I even discovered a new show they watch! I have gotten friends to be fans too! They viewers are funny and friendly. A good mix of generations. I wish the other episodes were on, as I missed the show on it's test run in October. I don't know where they found each group, but what great choices. Three golden age ladies, two friends ( one group black, one white), three handsome gay men, a mom, dad and two sons, a dad, mom and son, a family of girls and friend with the dad. I look forward to the season. This is must see TV.
