FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
phosillos I can't believe this is a modern-day show geared towards kids with so many awful racist generalisations. I mean, I have a pretty irreverent sense of humour, but this is supposed to be a kids' show? Unfortunately, my daughter loves it so I have to explain to her that not all Asians talk with a thick accent, are prolific at martial arts, and all have the same last name. Dang's character is pretty much a close cousin to Mr. Yunioshi from Breakfast at Tiffany's but sadly, his character (while hugely stereotyped) is the funniest on the show. The rest of the characters are ridiculously stupid, even the main character who is supposed to be a genius. I am baffled as to how this managed to get more than a season's run.
Rose This show is extremely annoying and shockingly inappropriate. All these so-called 'teenager' sitcoms have inappropriate and disgusting parts, but this show has too many. The only good idea is that the teacher is the same age as the students, but the extreme inappropriateness of what he sometimes says and does is repulsive and disgusting, considering it's towards one of his 'students'. The show is also really choppy and it's like it's homemade and people enter the screen out of no where. It doesn't flow smoothly and naturally, it's really forced and fake. The acting itself is not that fake, but the way the people enter the screen or randomly start their dialogues is. And that makes this so annoying to watch. Episodes are also barely funny and the only character who adds a slight bit of comedy is Derby. Echo is the most annoying and stupid character on the whole show. She thinks she's cute but she really isn't, in fact, her acting is extremely annoying and pathetic and she ruins the whole show. Also, the extreme stereotypes in the show is beyond limits. It's so focused on that it cannot be ignored, whether it's based on gender, 'bully', 'nerd', 'dumb one', etc, it's so pronounced and combining this with a choppily made show with no connection between scenes makes it horrible. 4/10.
jamesbornfree I am a 23 year old male with no young kids in my life. I don't know how exactly I started watching this show as I do NOT watch any other "teen sitcoms". Either way there are many suggestive jokes, but not any worse then the other comparitive shows. Many of the jokes can only be understood by someone with proper knowledge and I don't know how any kid or teen would get half of the humour. There are references to history and movies from the 80's and 90's which I find really funny.Personally I don't think any teen or kid should be watching any of the "teen sitcoms" as they have far too much suggestive behaviour. (example: "Life with boys" (which airs after Mr. Young) had a scene where a "cool" kid SUCCESSFULLY peer pressures a "nerd" into smoking a cigarette. He is busted by his sister before he inhales but still its totally unacceptable)BOTTOM LINE: Personally I think primetime family sitcoms are more appropriate for kids or teens as the suggestive (INMATURE) behaviour on these "Teen sitcoms" is not good for kids/teens self esteem or provide proper behavioural role models. At least on adult family sitcoms the maturity and consequences are much clearer. And more properly prepare young people for "real" life (yeah right). But its better then YTV. That being said as I male in my 20's I think Mr. Young is hilarious. Almost ONLY because of the background jokes that no kid or teen would understand. I can't believe they get away with that stuff, let alone air it. Who is really the target audience?
Yath Ithayakumar (apilash) Mr. Young is Doogie Howser for a new generation and a younger audience. It is the rare kind of show that parents can enjoy along with their kids. The characters are fun and easy to relate to. There is something for everyone in this show! This kids show features the perfect combination of romance, pranks and adventures. The cast are a talented bunch that ooze charisma. It won't surprise me to see any of these actors on the big screen in the future. Most of the episodes tend to be standalone so you won't miss a beat if you happened to have missed an episode here and there. It is a surprisingly intelligent kids comedy that and I hope to see more of it. I can't wait for new episodes!
