GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
mrryanscott-15530 The acting was over the top and the writing was not good either... I didn't like this show.
rj parr I thought I would like this show and really hoped that I would but I just could not get into it at all. I did not like most of the cast or maybe the problem was how the characters were written or some combination of those two things. Either way however I just did not find them or the show at all funny. I thought it was very juvenile but at the same time not very much fun. As a lifelong collector of comic books who has always loved comics and the culture of collecting and hanging out in the local comics stores, I thought a show about a comic book store would have a lot of fun and funny moments but this show did not deliver on those for me.
rinicolini I really wish this show hadn't been canceled. I guessed it was Canadian before I even looked it up. The humor is priceless, and typically Canadian, with lots of dry wit and slapstick elements: a good meld of Corner Gas (humor type) and Big Bang Theory (geeky subject matter). I actually like it more than Corner Gas, though my husband might disagree with me. But we both agree on this: too bad it wasn't given more of a chance.The characters are lovable and zany (and yes, not very believable, but very fun). We are really enjoying the few episodes, and are disappointed that we'll have to look elsewhere when they're done. Overall, a great laugh.
MetaControl Why this is rated so low is beyond me. "Almost heroes" is actually a funny show. It's about two brothers who run the comic store of their late father. The store is located in a small mall, which is frequented by your randomly weird and neurotic people. Acting is fine, jokes are not bad at all and some are even really good too. If you like stuff like IT crowd, Kevin smith movies or the Big Bang Theory, you might find an enjoyable time waster in this show. And if you think Spawn should be given away as a free complimentary comic with the purchase of a cup of coffee, you are geek enough to enjoy it more than others...There are much worse shows out there, so I hope this one picks up some fans and keeps going for a while.
