Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Watching an episode of Property Brothers and the young couple has 1.1 million to purchase a house. They look at a house that is too expensive (as everyone of these episodes goes) they get angry because they cannot afford it and ask the scripted question, "Why would you show us a house we cannot afford?" More scripted answers, then they show two or three really ugly houses. My question is why would you spend all of that money to rehab an old ugly house only to discover there are "hidden" problems that will magically be solved for all or nearly all of your max budget, instead of just BUILDING A NEW HOUSE??? It could be an excellent show except for the scripting and high reno and staging costs. Why do the brothers have to pick such absurdly expensive furniture and appliances, most of which I would prefer to pick out myself? I also wonder how many of these homeowners end up being disappointed about spending so much money? I know, it is HGTV but some of this stuff is absurd.

This is not a reality show because there is nothing real about it. The "show a perfect house and tell them they can't afford it" started out cruel and is now a farce. The houses offered are ridiculously overpriced; they would have to say where they are to justify the prices. Half of the horrid things they find that "aren't in the budget" and "oh dear, we've already used the contingency amount" would have been found by a building inspector. In any case the budgets are ludicrous because they don't have contingencies that are realistic for a non-inspected house. And the designs? I wouldn't let either one of them "design" a dog house because I like dogs too much. Never ever would I want a room designed anything like what I've seen on the show. I gave up after a few episode. Don't waste your time.

These guys are so out of touch with modern times it's a laugh to watch them. They are about 20 years behind times in their designs, You could be blindfolded and ears plugged, and you can tell exactly what's going on in the show.They do everything this way: 1. Trick buyers into thinking they are seeing a property for sale, but it's all a scam to get them to go into a Renovation house. Sometimes. from what's been said about the show, this is all an act, the people already bought the house, Shame on the Bros! 2. View dumps and pick two to decide about. The buyers are told a Pie in the Sky story about how wonderful it will all turn out, then always get surprised by something. Don't they have home inspectors? 3. They always pick the crappiest one.4. Every single home is reno'ed with that 1990s open floor design. Even if the house has some sort of historical appeal, the inside has to be gutted and redone in a style that is already dated as soon as it's done.5. Stupid timelines to create a false impression of tremendous pressure to GET IT DONE! But if it can't be, they will extend the deadline.6. Dumbass deconstruction with sledge hammers, wrecking good stuff that can be sent to recycling centers. Don't these guys know we're already past the year 2000 and recycling is smart? 7. More dumbass deconstruction of very nice retro period designs that only need some sprucing up, and then idiotic replacement with stuff a decade past it's day, but nowhere near retro yet.8. Always the SAME THING week after week, show after show. The buyers' faces change.And what is this stuff about most homes being over $500,000 up to $900,000? Where are they buying these things?Time to turn the channel to This Old House, where they do things smartly and correctly without show business baloney.

I sometimes wonder if this show is a joke. I mean this in all seriousness. The prices of the homes these guys find to renovate are beyond ridiculous. They recently showed a young couple a 1700-2000 sq. ft old home listed for $749,000!!!! Are you kidding me? The house wasn't worth a penny more than $150k.I can't believe the prices people pay for homes these days. I worked as a general contractor for over 10 years and I can honestly tell you, you are being robbed if you dole out this kind of cash for a home. When it is time to sell, you have overpaid by such an astronomical amount, you will almost certainly take a loss. That is what happened in the United States beginning around 2006. It seems as though people have not learned any lessons from what happened.Resist the urge to buy 'RIGHT NOW', because you need a better living arrangement or because someone else might 'get the house'. Let them have it. Save your money and be sensible. People toss around $500,000- $850,000 home prices like they are a drop in the bucket. That is a lot of money. Think about that before committing to such a a tremendous obligation.
