Synopsis

The show where everything's made up and the points don't matter. Not a talk show, not a sitcom, not a game show, Whose Line Is It Anyway? is a completely unique concept to network television. Four talented actors perform completely unrehearsed skits and games in front of a studio audience. Host Drew Carey sets the scene, with contributions from the audience, but the actors rely completely on their quick wit and improvisational skills. It's genuinely improvised, so anything can happen - and often does.

Reviews

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
SnoopyStyle Drew Carey is the host of this 'game' where the audience picks the style and the story that the four 'contestants' must improvise a skit from. The contestants are usually quick minded comedians. The usual suspects are Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, and Wayne Brady with sometimes a guest trying to keep up.This has great fun, and originality at the start. It was truly laugh out loud. After a couple of seasons, the games get repetitive. There's only so many games they had to play with. But it's asking too much to keep it fresh all the time. They do have guest stars once in awhile, but they're usually ineffective.
ctomvelu1 A show that should have gone on forever, WLIIA presents four performers and a moderator, for purposes of doing nothing but improv. Drew Carey was the host and Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie were the mainstays, along with a revolving cast that included Wayne Brady,Brad Sherwood. and Greg Proops. Other than Stiles, costar of the equally long-running The Drew Carey Show, most of the comedians were unknown to TV audiences prior to this show. Mochrie, a rubber-faced, balding Canadian whose innocent demeanor was bellied by frequent naughty one-liners, was especially funny. Occasinal celebrity guest stars like Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg were at best hit or miss. Unfortunately, reality TV came along and killed the show after an eight-season run. Perhaps Carey and crew were tired of it by then. Comedy is tough, but improv is tougher. I highly recommend catching late-night reruns on the ABC Family Channel and also on youtube. Some of my favorite segments, all of which can be seen on youtube, are WEIRD NEWSCASTERS and the show's truly bizarre version of The Dating Game. I don't think I have ever heard a studio audience laugh louder, and audience members were frequently called upon to help out in certain segments, making things even funnier (see the legendary "Tarzan and Jane" segment on youtube to see what I mean). Highly recommended.
Michele_with_one_L Whose Line Is It Anyway? is perfection. No matter what the scene is and no matter the how bad and offtrack it goes, the entire cast put 100 per cent of their creativity into it to make it absolutely hilarious! A special mention has to go, obviously, to Colin Mochrie (my personal favorite) and Ryan Stiles. They are the best comedy duo I have ever seen. As best friends, they take nothing seriously and never hesitate to insult each other (various bald jokes and big nose quirks are aplenty!) and host Drew Carey. And it's especially hilarious how annoyed Ryan gets with the Hoe Down's - by far the best game ever. Oh, and Colin's impressions also get a shout-out...plainly because he can't do any. But don't worry Colin, we love you still the same!They brought improv comedy to the mass attention of the world and it's been ablaze ever since.So massive congratulations and ongoing thank you's go to this remarkably talented cast and for their great effort at making the world a funnier and happier place! BRING BACK WHOSE LINE IS IT ANWAY?!
