Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Erik I was a large fan of this series for the first two seasons, but then it got boring and I quit watching the show (checking in sometimes, though). Why?: These brothers, fellow workers and their father making all kind of crazy choppers appealed to me in the beginning. The creativity was good, but not quite to my taste; a little bit to childish. Like building a Fireengine chopper... what is that all about? OK, I REALLY don't like theme bikes.The arguments/fights in the beginning between the family and workers looked genuine (and a little fun), but it started to really look manufactured after season two.The inside look of the real manufacturing of the bikes started to be less interesting (it seemed), and we was forced to seeing the family on different stupid trips and non-bike related things. It turned into some kind of kindergarten for adults, and less about the bikes.Also, as the seasons goes by, the more the show lean towards pure commercial bikes. Almost every bike is created for a brand name.American Chopper is now a one hour commercial! Watch the first two seasons, and drop the rest, unless your really not into motorcycles, and love trivial drama, and know that you are looking on a one hour commercial.Verdict: 7/10 for the first two seasons.4/10 for all seasons combined.

crash21 I agree with Darthhatchman's comment "What ever happened to Discovery airing educational programming?" The Discovery Channel used to be made up of a wide array of interesting and informative shows, but now it's nothing but the same dumb shows all day, every day. They don't even show anything special on holidays. Normally, holidays have specials all over the place. Anymore, on the Discovery Channel and TLC all they show is marathons of things like American Chopper and Trading Spaces, which are already all over the normal programming.The Discovery Channel has basically been turned into a car and home improvement network. Their shows like American Chopper, Monster Garage, and Surprise by Design have basically smothered the Discovery Channel. After all this started happening, Tuesday used to be the only night with their traditional Discovery programming, when they showed their law shows like The New Detectives. But now Tuesday has gone down with the rest of the programming, and now they apparently don't even make new episodes of their good law shows, and they just show old re-runs of them between 2PM-4PM on weekday afternoons.American Chopper has absolutely no educational value and ironically is about that same "reality show" concept of the show that killed TLC, "Trading Spaces", only on American Chopper, instead of people turning rooms into abstract art and wasted space, they're doing this to bikes and cars instead of homes.Except their other channels, like The Science Channel, Discovery programming that was actually educating and worth watching is no longer based on anything more than stupidity and so-called "reality" programming. If they were going to air all of these car and biker shows, why didn't they just create a new channel for it? Not replace the original Discovery Channel programming, because it was so much better than all of this.It was bad enough when things like this first happened to TLC, and shows like Trading Spaces took over TLC, but now the Discovery Channel has gone down the same path. It seems like all of the TV shows meant for intelligent people are being smothered by poorly done so-called "reality" shows. I really hope the Discovery Channel seriously considers changing their programming on every Discovery network channel back to actual education, before they're all completely destroyed.

sparkplug_90 Personally, I think American Chopper is one of the best shows out there. It's fun to watch them put the bikes together, and argue about the dumb stuff that families argue about. Its refreshing to see a reality series that doesn't try to be something it's not. Unlike VH1's "Surreal Life", this is something the whole family can watch, and enjoy together. They may argue like all hell, but at the end of the day they're still grateful to have each other in one another's lives. There's a lot of shows that show people arguing but a majority of them do not show them making up. I really respect the guys of O.C.C. They truly are incredible.

Bobs-9 While watching this show and hearing Paul Sr. and his sons interact, it occurred to me that this is sort of a soap opera for men. In between shouting matches and tantrums over short deadlines, missing tools, bad welds, etc. you see Paul Sr. and his sons sorting out their issues with each other and trying to work together. Sometimes these struggles end in slammed doors and hurt feelings, and sometimes (particularly when younger son Mikey is involved) they end with a joke, a few laughs, and smiles all round. Awwwwww! I think Mikey learned long ago that the best way to survive his father's wrath is to make him laugh. It works almost every time. Very clever.I don't know anything about motorcycles, so I'm sometimes a bit puzzled by the tribute theme bikes that the Teutuls put so much effort into. Interesting as they are mechanically and artistically, the show doesn't really make it apparent to me how they help the firemen or war veterans they honor. The honorees always seem to love and appreciate them, though, so maybe that's enough.Watching the Teutuls and their crew of craftsmen, artists, and master mechanics is addictive and fascinating. It's like looking into one of those old medieval workshops where everything was done by hand and designed and built in the shop under the supervision of a guild master. I really envy them. This is probably a way of life and doing business that's disappearing, so it's nice to think that it still flourishes in some places. See this show!
