ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
blbbg1 What do Barney, Dora The Explorer, and Teletubbies all have in common? They're insultingly bad. One show, however and it's a mostly forgotten one; Maya and Miguel is so laughably bad that it could even be shown on MST3K/RiffTrax. Think of this as the slightly more bearable version of Dora The Explorer. Still, M&M wasn't a great show, but it wasn't a pile of dreck like Barney or Dora. It's a nice show to watch, to only make fun of it. This show no longer airs on PBS Kids and it hasn't since 2012 but if you want to riff this MST3K-style, go ahead. At least this isn't "Dora The Explorer" levels of bad, just "So bad it's laughably bad". At least the twins look okay for 10-year old Latino/Latina kids.
sitonpickle Maya is so annoying barding into people's business in every single episode and never learning her problems after each mistake. I wanna punch her huge head with those little balls on top that magically shock when she gets an idea.I have to admit that not all the episodes are that bad. There are only a few that actually kind of interest me, but all in all it's stupid. The idea of the show is, Maya gets an idea to fix something or help someone and it all turns out crazy, but it fails to do so. The zany and crazy events are very predictable and uncreative. I don't like the animation style, the trees are poofy like marshmellows, the buildings are all lopsided and crooked. The characters have huge heads and many of them are shaped like diamonds. I know they did this to create style for the animation, but this show's "style" just didn't work for me.
oliversquidditchbabe This is a great show for kids! Heck, I even enjoy it once in a while, and I am an adult! It teaches children introductory Spanish, while also providing a fun story! Maya's crazy ideas always get her into trouble, and her twin, Miguel, while reluctant, is always there beside her helping. But no matter what trouble Maya gets herself into, her heart is always in the right place. She just wants to help people! I'd say the only bad thing about this show is Paco, their annoying talking parrot. This is a fun and harmless show, and I recommend it to anyone with kids. It's educational and entertaining! I'd say it targets an audience from the ages of 6-11. It's kind of the next step from "Dora the explorer." "Maya and Miguel" is great at teaching common Spanish, and I can honestly say I have learned more Spanish from it than I did from my Jr. high Spanish teacher (but too be fair, he didn't really teach us much).
ian-1211 I watched about one episode and got bored! I thought "Hmmm, who would watch that? What's the target audience?". It looked cheaply made and has the most annoying theme song ever!!!! Beside all that, the characters are lame, the stories are as boring as hell and jokes are copied from other shows. I have just worked out the idea of it, it is trying to promote multiculturalism because the characters look like they're from Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil or Portugal or somewhere like that. They supposed to speak Spanish. Here is a news flash: I hardly speak any Spanish (French is what I'm good at!) and I can easily watch a day in the life of a Spaniard video other than this. If you want to make a programme aiming to promote multi-culture, try making it a bit more entertaining! It just far too educational, dull and dreary! Anyhow, I feel quite sorry for the production team behind the garbage; this must be a total career killer for them. This show is just another complete and utter television channel switchover. This is my final verdict for this show: "Cette Nulle", that's French for "This sucks!" 3/10
