Alicia I love this movie so much
Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
yankee-34938 Very entertaining show. It is amazing how many scam artists are out there and how many good people fall for it. Many of this people fork over their entire savings to these shady contractors. The set up of this show is great. Using private investigators, they find these losers and lure them to phony job sites where they ambush them. Ultimately, the show gives these "contractors" (the word is used very loosely) three options: #1. give the $$$$$ back (NOT!), #2. offer for the contractor to go back to the job site and help redo their shady, unsafe, and not in-compliance work under the crews supervision, or #3. the show will help the family take the contractor to court. Eventually all of these losers take the bait and agree to go back to the job site. The show captures more and more lies on video across and eventually the contractor is ambushed again this time by the family he deceived. At the end, these family's are left in a MUCH better situation. The construction work is top notch + Adam Carolla is very funny.
McMurphy I have a special place in my heart for JUSTICE. And this show dishes it out in spades.It's super FUNNY too! I really like Kitchen Nightmares, Catfish, and the good episodes of Bar Rescue (where justice is dished), and now Catch a Contractor.One thing this show has that the others don't: Adam Carolla. And he is one funny, witty, dude that PULLS NO PUNCHES.Yes, Gordon Ramsey doesn't pull punches, and I love it, but Carolla does it in a way that's like he has no "editing function" - he says all the stuff others think, but don't say.It's so great to see the scum get their comeuppance.If you like the dry wit that's naturally funny without trying too hard, bad guys getting their as*es handed to them, and screwed people getting some restitution, you'll love this.
bgreenspatch This type of reality show with lots of drama seemed right up our alley so we set the dvr and recorded a couple of episodes. Last night we sat down and watched both episodes. It doesn't take long to realize that the head actor Adam Carolla is an extremely unpleasant person. He used the "M" word twice in one episode, once referring to himself and the other time referring to the contractor. Now I am not bothered by this except when he said it both times were extremely distasteful. The worst part of this show is Adam's method of humor. He likes to demean people and he thinks it is funny. Specifically he likes to point out what he sees as physical, or mental flaws in others and make fun of them for it. The co-host's were there to be pretty and that was it. Overall Adam takes a show that could be good and makes it painful to watch.
