GamerTab That was an excellent one.
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
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.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
kylielou I love, love, love this show. I have been watching it since it first aired on ABC2 here in Australia and it's one of my favourite shows. It's so good to see something original and I really look forward to it every week. Erin Karpluk is fabulous and Erica is my favourite character on TV. She is someone I'd be friends with, totally relatable. I hope this show continues for many more seasons.Fantastic, original and really entertaining. I can't say anymore except do yourself a favour and watch it. You won't regret it, it's witty, funny, romantic, hopeful and brilliant! Thanks Canada, keep this wonderfully entertaining show coming please!
Midnight_Gypsi Several months ago, I was in a slump. A few things were just going completely awful for me, and I was feeling down and depressed and felt like a failure and my motivation to do anything worthwhile was gone. I was just drowning in a pool of self-pity and regret.Then I accidentally stumbled upon this show, and I must say I am truly happy that I did.It sounds weird to say, but I feel as if this show actually really helped me put my life back in order. If you were to ask me what show/movie had the biggest impact on my life, I'd tell you "Being Erica".Before watching the show, I was prone to regrets - I mean, I'd regret little tiny stupid things from a decade ago, that whoever would've long forgotten. I'd regret things so little, looking back I don't really know how I'd remember those stupid little things. I used to wonder how people could claim they lived without regrets. Thing is, I didn't really understand what they meant.While watching this show, it got me to start thinking from a different angle; maybe, instead of regretting all of these stupid little things, it would be more worth it to pull out lessons, to let yourself grow. The more I watched it, the less I felt like holding on to all of those past regrets and the more I started forcing myself out of my slump.It helped me change some of my views on things, and it helped me change my attitude - it gave me some much needed therapy ;D
fustbariclation I understand it is supposed to be a girlie film, but, really, is it fair to depict somebody quite so stupid?The shrink too is creepy and badly acted. He tries to pretend he has read a book or two, but the way he says the quotes makes it obvious that they are out of a book of quotations. Is his pretentious phoniness supposed to be attractive?Actually this is probably quite a good film to fend off depression. Anybody who was so utterly stupid and lived such an empty and vapid life would have to be worse off than almost anybody who watched it. Maybe that's the point, to feel better out of pity.I can see that it might be just the thing for plebvision, empty, implausible, badly acted, badly scripted and naff in the extreme. Why on earth did they put it on DVD though?
canadachicklett I think this show is a great idea! Erin plays Erica so well. I love the fact that this character has been given the chance to work on some of her "regrets" which also gives her an insight was really the issue.Given the chance to go back in time to see if actually changing something will make a difference is a bigger deal then actually changing it. I think it's great that CBC has brought on a great show, a great Canadian show!!! Hopefully this will continue to just get better and better. I think there are many women that will be able to relate to this character which is what makes the show to perfect. Also knowing that there are certain things that you cannot change no matter how much you want to because they just were meant to be.
