StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

ibrox-72447 Dateline just isn't the same as it used to be. And why do they show the hosts profiles?? This is irritating, I don't want to see the side of their faces!

PartialMovieViewer Why all the hate? NBC has produced some very notable comedies in the past, and "Dateline", is a shining example of present productions clobbering past conquests. I did not know the host from a coffee cup...my mistake...seriously. Lester Holt is probably one of the best stand-ups anywhere. When he pretends to be serious, or morose, I immediately begin laughing out loud...like LOL out loud. This man does not pretend, but actually lives, "Anchorman". Wow- a chuckle a second. None of these stories are real...they ant be, no way. I recommend this show to those in dire need of some escapism. I missed a few dozen seasons of this program since I was under the impression the stories may be serious. Was I wrong...conjecture anyone? Why watch the news when you can witness some sides plotting fantasies...like..."Dateline". Sit...record it...watch it over and over and you will be a happy camper...camper

jaiami It's like the first few weeks of American Idol when they exploit the untalented, arrogant, ignorant contestants. This show always focuses on white trash. You hear the family members talk about how the 18 year old victim lit up a room when she walked in. How everyone loved her. How she was beautiful, talented, and smart. Then you learn she was selling herself online, was a crack-whore, and had three children from three different felons. Everyone interviewed is either covered in tattoos or piercings, has several teeth missing, is very uneducated, or most likely all of the above. It's hard to tell if NBC is interviewing these people because the information they have in interesting or if they are exploiting their ignorance for comedic effect (I vote for the latter). Of course these white trash are the focus of this program because they all sleep around, drink excessively, and own 15 guns (the perfect storm of their bread and butter). Aside from all that, they repeat information so much that original information makes up only 10 minutes which is repeated, ad nauseum, to fill the broadcast hour.

richard.fuller1 Dreadful excuse for a so-called news program.National Enquirer on TV.Aside from absolutely exploitive, tasteless topics involving entrapped pedophiles to the guy who makes the Girls Gone Wild videos, we are presented these programs in the most brain-dead manner possible, as told by Keith Morrison."Sissy came from a wonderful background. Loving parents. Great at school. A cheerleader. Her football player boyfriend. Everything seemed okay. Or was it?" We then get snippets from these people."So what could possibly be wrong with Sissy? Nothing to hear her friends tell about it. But others knew something else." This will be about twenty-five minutes into the program.Everything covered by this program is dragged out to virtual mind-numbing deadness to fill its timeslot.When the program is over, the viewer's own mind can sum up faster what they have looked at for an hour."Sissy was dating a drug-dealer behind her boyfriend's back. Her parents didn't know either." Why can't Morrison sum it up this fast? NBC could be showing Friday Night Lights or The Book of Daniel in this timeslot, but do they do this? Noooooo, we are treated to Morrison's horrendous deliveries.This is when we learn how truly valuable can be a remote control.
