Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Punk'd is actually a pretty funny show. The situations these people are put in are funny. The actors playing along with all these ridiculous farcities are really great. The fact that the viewing audience knows more than the celebrities is quite a thrill. The main problem with this show, is the host, Ashton Kutcher. He is not funny at all. The host segments are goofy, and Kutcher sits there talking in funny voices and acts like an idiot. I'd almost prefer no host and just to be left in the dark then to listen to his stupidity.For those who don't know, Punk'd is just a show where people pull pranks on celebrities. The pranks usually have some humor in them, but they are often just too mean. Sometimes these people are brought to tears, only to then be humiliated that this happened to them on a television show. If you like pranks, and don't feel embarrassed for others, this show's probably for you, otherwise, this is good for an occasional viewing.My rating: ** 1/2 out of ****. 30 mins. TVPG

I believe that punk'd is a really good show, and that Ashton Kutcher has awesome ideas. The show itself isn't funny, but seeing the celebrities reaction to the pranks is classic. I mean, come on, is it not funny to see Justin Timberlake or Avril Lavign or any one of the rest of the celebrities be tortured? I doubt celebrities like the show, but it is a good show for the regular people who watch it & like it. If I had to rate this,I would rate it five stars. You get to see what happens to celebrities when they get annoyed, and boy do they get annoyed! Someone who wrote about Punk'd said that it's illegal to do what they do. No matter what people say, I like Ashton and I like the show.

Do I ever miss Candid Camera. That show actually showed some imagination in regards to the pranks they pulled. Of course if I was 10 years or younger, I might find Punk'd a good show. But now that I think about, I would still have to pity myself. Believe me, I am an immense fan of the practical joke. Having had many pulled on me as well as coming up with some good ones myself, so I can't understand how anyone can take the fine art of practical joking and reduce it to something so lame and pathetic. I think the makers of this show forgot that practical jokes are supposed to be funny and fun for all involved. Not just for themselves without including the audience or victims. Hopefully with all this DNA and stem-cell research going on, someone will be able to bring Allen Funt back. Until then I can't stand watching this lame second-rate sitcom reject trying to mug it up for the camera when there is really nothing to mug about at all. Truly sad.

MTV. Will they never stop embarrassing themselves? Now, Ashton Kutcher's got his own "Reality-TV" show hosting a half hour of elaborate hidden-camera pranks on random celebrities. Several have included fellow Thats 70s Show star, Wilmer Vanderamma, thinking that some street tough was really violently vandalizing his car. Frankie Muniz thought someone stole his rare edition Porsche (Nevermind those obvious cameras in your face, Frankie). Seth Green thought he was in the middle of an illegal gambling raid. And, Justin Timberlake nearly broke down and cried when he thought his numerous houses, cars, and other possessions were suddenly being repossessed by the bank for lack of payment for property taxes. And, you have to be an idiot not to suspect that, when Ashton invites you do something and things suddenly turn up disastrous, that you're the subject of an episode of Punk'd.It is your standard hidden-camera fare (think, Jamie Kennedy's 'X,' only less funnier), except the pranks are more elaborate and unsuspecting celebrities are the butt of the jokes. If you've seen one hidden-camera prank show, you've seen them all. Unfortunately, there seems to be no end in sight for mindless idiotic reality-TV shows and, that goes double for MTV.
