Konterr Brilliant and touching
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
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.
kimirox I absolutely love this show! I only discovered it this week because 7 put it on at 9.30am and next week its not even showing anymore! It's such a pity because this show has been completely underrated! It has an excellent cast and a great script. Its better then most shows with huge budgets. Hopefully channel 7 will come to their senses and put this show on again because its such a waste Plus I <3 Alex Cappelli!! I give this show 9/10 its really good and if it comes back on I recommend it~!
Kitty_fortay I haven't seen it all Because Disney decided to show it at 1am in the morning while i'm sleeping, and then when i returned to school i discovered they showed the season final on Saturday in the morning, which i think killed me. But otherwise this TV show did not get enough credit, it had an absolutely fabulous cast and well i loved the short videos they showed inbetween it, if you can take the time to see it, see. for me i'm hoping they realize it on DVD so i don't have to stay up endless hours just waiting for it to begin, but other wise this is a good show and worth a look at i would personally rate it 7/10
jasjgm "Short Cuts" is one of the wittier, pop teen shows shown on television. The series focuses mainly on a media class and the 9 personalities (teenagers) who attend the class. The story is so simple but is yet hip, original, and executed well. It is too bad this Australian series was cut short, and only ran for 1 season. 8/10
Jess Leach it's a shame 7 chooses to delegate this to a 9am Saturday morning slot - it deserves much better. an excellent script combines with an enthusiastic, enthralling and totally winning group of young actors.teen television hasn't been this good for years.
