Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
IncaWelCar In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Jvbway This show was on while I was in middle school, and for me, it was the biggest advantage of staying home sick. Rosiewas surprisingly good at giving interviews, and i have to admit, she really paved the way for Ellen's show right now. If I were to choose who i prefer as a comedienne and a person, i would say Ellen, but Rosie's show did have some benefits which Ellen's does not. For one thing, Rosie did give a somewhat more interesting interview than Ellen does, and most of all, for me anyway, Rosie's support to Broadway. Rosie's exposure of Broadway plays and musicals to T.V audiences helped keep Broadway alive and well, and one can't help but notice how the state of Broadway has changed without Rosie. With Rosie's show, serious Musicals like "Ragtime" could thrive, today musicals seem to have to either star Hugh Jackman or be based on a popular film or be marketable to thirteen year old girls to at all survive. Yes, by the end, when Rosie let her politics get the better of her, the show lost steam, and i agree with most of the criticism she received surrounding that, but for me anyway, her show will be missed.
lyrischertenor Best talk show ever. Was very sad to see it go. There never will be one just like her. It was wholesome and not trashy or demeaning. I hope Rosie is doing well now. I also miss her magazine. Such hardship she faced. But we should be glad the show lasted as long as it did. Six years right? And SHE is the one who made the choice to end it. I believe she was offered a longer run but she had her family and all. What I really wish is that the episodes could be released on DVD or something. She was also the one talk show host (besides the Regis and Kelly show) to host Broadway acts. And have Broadway stars actually be guest! And she would just have ANYONE on that she wanted! Like Kate Mulgrew from Star Trek Voyager -- TWICE! And she would have people from shows from years past who she just wanted to get to know. And her crush on Tom Cruise and her love of Barbara Streisand were very cute. I MISS IT!
anthonyearnst A long time ago when Tom Selleck was being interviewed on the Rosie Show she started bashing him thoughtlessly and trying profusely to hurt his feelings, etc. Nice to her guests? You must be joking! She is obviously not in support of the NRA and Tom is. This is what the big fight was about and he had very good points to make about the association while Rosie didn't have anything to really stand on she still continued to try to bash him on live television. In my opinion (and I know many others) she still owes a great big apology to Tom for this humiliation (where actually she was probably humiliating herself more than anything). Yes this happened. It really did! It was horrific. I haven't watched the show since.
Mr. Tobar Not that there are many other daytime talk shows worth watching, but the Rosie O'Donnell Show is definitely one to avoid. Arguably the highlight of Rosie's entertainment value (over that of any person off the street) is her ability to sing the theme song of nearly all of the TV series that have ever been broadcast.The best that she can do in the way of entertainment is show off a skill that one can only gain through rigorous, almost religious TV viewing over an entire lifetime. Do we really need to spend our time watching someone's TV show, who is so entrenched in a television centered world view? It seems like a dangerous reinforcement of the repulsive contention that it is acceptable for people to sit in front of the TV as their sole pastime.No one should subject themselves to any demonstration of such a deeply ingrained acceptance of the idea that a normal lifetime is one that's spent largely parked in front of a box that displays moving pictures on its screen, as the Rosie O'Donnell Show seems to openly advocate.In engaging in such trivialization of a seriously mentally and physically debilitating lifestyle for Americans, the Show subtly glorifies a lifestyle that does not merit glorification.From a TV producer's standpoint, it makes perfect sense for the host of a show to openly advocate such television worship.Other shows, such as the Oprah Winfrey Show are more justifiable, as they advocate things such as reading books, exercising, and other concerns that are not so directly connected with television and the entertainment industry. True, there is marketing that's mixed in with the advocacy of almost anything, but almost anything is preferable to what amounts to advocacy of Couch Potatohood. Other daytime talk shows more actively advocate activities other than watching television.
