This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

An abysmal performance all around. I remember watching it when it was released and i thought it was good. Then it turned south into some crappy program that has no real good thing about it. I'd give it a negative if i could. What happened to the good show? I can't even remember what happened. Destroyed the whole play with shitty performances by stellar casts. All around some horrible performances and absolutely crap. Don't, I mean DON'T even bother watching it.-100000000/10

This is quite possible one of the worst shows ever made.The acting is bad. The scripts are bad and repetitive. The whole show is bad!I could barely stay awake through the episodes I was subjected to! It's so bad, that I can't even watch it to laugh at how bad it is! Everything about this show annoys me!This show also promotes bad morals. Which wouldn't be so bad, apart from the fact that so many people in New Zealand actually LIKE this show. And they seem to think that the way these bitchy, grumpy hormonal fictional characters carry on is normal and acceptable.Come on New Zealand, you can do better than this! Look at...oh hang on, I can't think of ANY good New Zealand TV shows. Except TellyLaughs. And they were great because they pointed out what was wrong with New Zealand's worst TV shows.

Shortland Street was first judged as a half-a***d, no-brainer of a show. However, over the years, it has become almost impossible to miss. Everyone in NZ will have their TV's switched on to watch New Zealand's most daring, successful and brave show.The thing that makes Shortland Street such a winner is it's creativity with it's characters. Take Beanie for instance, she's a tattoo-covering-body-piercing-hair-shaving tomboy who also manages to have a largely interesting emotional side and men are attracted to her. Then there is Caroline, the nurse who we've all come to know and love as a straight and guy-attracted girl, turns out to be a lesbian when girl-getter Catalin comes along in 1999. One of the biggest stand-out characters so far has been Oscar Henry, a frightening, raping, but good man who you never know if you love or hate. The writers are always thinking up imaginative ways to get new characters and let the old ones leave, and most of the scripts written for this show are quite fascinating and intriguing. Although it has it's bad side, Shortland Street is able to deal with death, romance and several other mature elements and do it in a completely professional and believable way, making it one of the most valuable doctor-hospital-nurse TV shows in history.All said, Shortland Street is a near-perfect TV show that sometime's goes off-track, but always manages to grab your attention when you least expect it.I rate Shortland Street 9 out of 10.
