Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

bluecoronet77 OK, as a guy I have to say that MEN IN TREES is a great show. Both the acting and the writing are excellent. The characters are people you can relate to as human beings. I haven't enjoyed a show like this since Joan of Arcadia. MEN IN TREES is not a chick-flick series, but a series about people, relationships, and the connections between us. Anne Heche and James Tupper lead a fabulous cast. The show has humor, family, romance and an amazing amount of soul. I missed it when it originally aired, but now I usually end up watching 2-3 episodes at once. Even the characters I didn't like at first have grown on me. I'm only part way through the first season and enjoying every bit of it. What it really needs now is a DVD release.

wdawson-1 i watched this show because there was absolutely nothing else watchable. this show taught me that, once again, all some American TV producers think people need to make a show watchable is boppy music, dime-store philosophy, rampant sexual undertones, every cliché imaginable, sadly predictable 'story' lines and stereotypical characters. unfortunately, for me (and most discriminating viewers) content needs to be evident, also. i stayed with it for the first 5 episodes and hate myself for doing so. that it is a poorly disguised rip-off of northern exposure is almost forgivable, but the parallels are not.

d_pixd I am a survivor from the 60s' and enjoy the show "men in trees" on many levels... lots of eye candy and lots of laughs. There are serious reflections in narrative style of the insights from the main character, on the complex nature of life and loving. Marin is played by Anne, the relationship coach in the series and an actress who speaks from her heart and experience. She is an authentic source for the insights on this beautiful series. The fans have backed the show and its' humanitarian attitudes with a campaign. The fans feel that by accumulating the numbers of fans who donate to the "trees for life organization" (treesforlife.org) and presenting those numbers to the American broadcasting corporation (ABC) it is hoped the series "men in trees" will be assured a third season. ABC gets lots of free publicity and for the fans that is better than the "no publicity" attitude from ABC. The series, "men in trees" has survived and the fan numbers are increasing while the show has been off the air for weeks. Next show-time for the series, "men in trees" is: Wednesday, Feb. 27th, 2008, at 10 p.m. It will return with the answer to the heavy drama on the sea and the comfort of the friends and lovers in the little town of Elmo, Alaska... If ABC will allow the series, "men in trees" to be seen for the 11 episodes at 10 p.m. on Wednesdays, the fans will be able to know the whole story. Already fans are yearning for a third season and more after that...To catch up, see the website from France which has a complete photo display of all episodes. The official site for Anne is wonderful to visit or to take up residence. Many fans find more than the comfort of home there, sincerely, from d. sky view.

lorien777 This show is finding its voice and direction. About 2/3 of the way through the first season it seems to really hit its stride. More sophisticated dialog and some clever plot twists, but more importantly, the actors seem to be comfortable with each other - and things really loosen up and become more 'authentic'. Anne Heche really begins to shine, as well. I found her really annoying at first and have grown to love her. She can play vulnerable quite well given the constraints of network TV. ABC is doing a good job, here, as much as I hate to give props to any network station. The last, so far unaired episodes are fantastic. I won't spoil the fun for all the fans, but they are really great. Looking forward to Season 2.
