Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

deelolazjourney First off, great story that had tons of potential but they simply never went there.I suppose I'm not surprised this show only lasted 3 seasons. One of the main actors Lori (played by April Matson), supposedly a teen turned out to be a 25 year old I actually thought was 30ish. She looked way too old for the part.Main character Kyle (played by Matt Dallas) had all the makings of a sexy star, but his passion was flat. It's like he didn't like his girlfriend's character or the actress herself. His kisses were far from romantic and never left us wanting for more. He was also in his 20's, as were most of the teens in this show. If I didn't know better, I'd say he's either a chaste of the highest order, or gay...maybe worried about a real life jealous girlfriend. He just doesn't come off as passionate and romantic.Wasted characters who could have been better played by actual teenagers.

Tss5078 Kyle XY was the first successful original show on ABC family. Featuring cute boys, which played right into their key demographic of teenage girls. Kyle woke up having no memory, like some big adorable baby. Not wanting the show to be some cutesy messed up version of the Brady Bunch, the producers actually gave the show a complicated storyline, which made it much better, but also led to it's downfall. The series starts when Kyle wakes up naked in the woods outside of Seattle. He has no memory and doesn't know how to do anything. He's quickly put into a group home, as a John Doe, where he gains the attention and admiration of the local psychologist, Nicole Trager (Marguerite MacIntyre). Trager knows that Kyle will never survive in that environment and decides to foster him. Once at the Trager house, Kyle doesn't need to just learn the basics of survival, but also the social norms associated with being part of a family. The series starts out with Kyle as a clean slate, having to learn everything from eating to using the bathroom, and to me this was the worst part of the show. It did however give the stations key demographic exactly what it demanded and lead to these episodes being the networks highest rated to date. Wanting to show off Kyle's abilities and not wanting him to be some lovable moron, the writers shifted the focus to Kyle's extraordinary abilities and how he uses them to try and find out who he is and where he came from. That's the point where the show started to get interesting to me and of course the point where the ratings started to decline. Show some trendy teenage girls, a bunch of cute boys being adorable and you've got high ratings, but show those same boys as part of a global conspiracy, that makes you think, and those girls want nothing to do with it. Half way through the first season, Kyle XY went from a lame family show to a terrific science fiction drama. Matt Dallas stars as Kyle and he has a lot going for him. Dallas is good looking, athletic, and intelligent, unfortunately he's not a very good actor and many times seemed like some emotionless robot, who was reading lines from a cue card. Thankfully the family and friends surrounding him were far better actors than he was. The Trager family is a terrific mix of wit and emotion that is centered on Kyle, but doesn't focus solely on him. There is a terrific storyline featuring the daughter Lori's (April Matson) entrance into sexual activity with her boyfriend Declin (Chris Olivero), who may be the single most talented person on this cast. The brother Josh (Jean-Luc Bilodeau), gives much needed comic relief to the show, while teaching Kyle the things every teen-aged boy needs to know. Kyle XY was a magically complex show that blended a great science fiction story with comedy and family drama, unfortunately it was on the wrong network. A show like this could have continued to grow and come out of nowhere to be a mix of the X-Files and 90210, that appealed to a huge audience, instead, it was geared toward teenage girls who just didn't want to think. The show was designed for a large audience on a network that has a very limited demographic. Ultimately the cute boys and the occasional comedy just wasn't enough to keep them interested and the show was canceled after 3 seasons. In my opinion this show was just starting to hit it's stride and should it have been on a network that appealed to a larger audience, it would probably still be on the air today.

pdxmusl The show is about a teenager with a mysterious past slowly revealed. There are many episodes revealing some of his more interesting gifts. The series starts off very much like the show "John Doe" from fox a few years before. Mix in a little bit of "The Pretender", and you have this show. It's loosely narrated by Kyle himself and gives us a glimpse of what he's experiencing. The show hints that he's experiencing many things for the very first time and what that is like for Kyle.Kyle's character is of course the main focus and is well acted. Including the narration. The first few episodes are especially well done in these areas. Where the show lacks are the other actors and the silly unbelievable situations Kyle gets into. As an example, Kyle is in a high school and out of all the rooms in a large building to wander into, he just randomly wanders into a class where there is a "complex" problem to solve and of course solves it. I suppose it's for character building, however, seriously? Most of the series puts Kyle in "The Pretender" like scenarios, where he does something "amazing", but not surprising to the viewer. It's like those other shows/movies where some lead character say's something like "I've got this impossible problem to solve..." and 5 seconds later, in walks Kyle. Gee. What's going to happen? Oh. Hmm. Kyle solved it again. Who would have guessed?The other characters are 2 dimensional and unbelievable. The interaction is just off and never really works. It's like watching a bad Brady Bunch episode where everything always works out between the family and nobody really truly gets mad. The kids are practically abandoned by the parents cause of all the focus on Kyle. Yet everyone seems OK with this. A couple of times this is made into an issue, but is resolved in basically the same scene it's brought up in. And again.. everything just goes on like nothing is wrong.Overall, the show has an interesting plot to it. It's a little bit more believable than the direction John Doe went, which this series is kind of a knock off of. It's draw backs are the flat 2nd string characters and predictable episodes.

yousufsmehmood Kyle XY started out as a pretty weird show with a naked Kyle waking up in the forest and slowly making his way to the city. This series slowly progressed in to what became a really good show. The best part is that the family Kyle lives with is not the typical psychotic American family shown in the television dramas. The mother and father seem like normal loving human beings rather than stupid heartless monsters that appear in most serials in America and the atmosphere seems quite normal. Kyle is the most wonderful person in the entire world in the series and he is the symbol for humanity. A near perfect human being who knows what is right and is ready to help everyone who needs help at any cost. The actor who plays Kyle is one of the most original artists today and he has a very focused and expressive face. In fact he is the main reason that people watch this show. To be quite frank the storyline and love lives of the two supporting characters Josh and Lori Trager are quite boring and do not effect the plot line. The story of Andy having cancer was an interesting one but the episode where she and Josh do "it" started ruining the show. The same was with Lori and Declan; however if these flaws are overlooked and the relationship of Kyle and Amanda is focused on, it is a lesson for all of us. Kyle and Amanda represent what a relationship should be like (until season 3). They are perfect role models on how a relationship should be led. It should be based on trust and not rushed. They show how a relationship can get bigger and bigger and turn in to a great bond of spiritual love. Their relationship is a lesson for all the sexed up creepy teenagers out there who begin a relationship with sex and then break it off (much like the relationships of Lori Trager and Declan and Josh and Andy). The biggest lesson is Kyle himself. He is an all around nice guy and good looking to boot. He is a hero who is sensitive and not a sissy, who is strong but not a jerk. The series is also very well crafted but it took a turn for the worst in series 3 and I can see why it was cancelled. Nevertheless its first two seasons are one of the best in modern television. The music compliments the show very well and the song "She could be You" really sets the theme for any relationship, fictional or real. I would have wished for the show to go on to its actual end but with it shaping out so poorly in its last season, I really thank the network it was airing on to have shut it down. Kyle XY will be remembered for its original storyline and message for a long time and I wish the entire cast, specially Kyle the best of luck.
