Reviews

PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Ella-May O'Brien 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.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
s_tomas SO WEIRD was a show played in Disney Channel whose principal characters were Fi, a 14 years old teenage; Jack, Fi's sister; Molly, a widowed-star; and the Bells. Fiona Phillips (Cara DeLizia) started her first season really good, it was a show. It talked about ghosts, Fi's father, Molly's break-outs and paranormal stuff. Nothing too much special. The second season started better, this time it talked deeper about Rick, about Molly's childhood and warnings to Fi, trying to stop her. Disney would consider this season to be kind of "dark", and when they got known the third one was going to be worse, they tried to cancel the show. Instead of that, they kicked the really EXCELLENT executive producers (Jon Cooksey and Ali Marie Matheson. Since that, the show went down. First, instead of Fi, came this girl, Annie Thelen (Alexz Johnson) replacing her in episode Lighting Rod (the first of the 3rd season). Annie wasn't a girl with a supernatural beginning, but spite of that, the supernatural chased her, as it did to Fi. Annie was protected by her panther and, finally, its finale surprised us a lot and left too much to wish. Nowadays, fans are trying to get it back thru all possible ways, however, Dinsey won't consider it as an idea, a really selfish option in my opinion. So Weird's real 3rd season would have contained this:In the original ending of "Twin", Rick would have told Fi that she was on the right course, and that she should continue in investigating the paranormal, and that it was her destiny. Then the demon would have returned to attack Fi again, and Rick would've pushed Fi out of the way. The demon and Rick fall over the building and vanish into the Earth. This would have made Fi even more desperate to know if her father is OK. Molly would have gone back on tour as she did in the original season three, and we would follow her growing and blossoming career. -The aliens from "Memory", "Listen", and "Roswell" would have finally contacted Fi, like Molly sees in her dream in "Roswell". They would have shown her the hologram of Rick, with him saying that he knew about the aliens, and that they could help her. Fi would learn that every planet with sentient life had a person like her - someone who was a channel for investigating the paranormal. All of these people like her are destined for a fight against Evil, which is invading the universe. Before the aliens left, they would have indicated to her computer and tell her to get an upgrade after she asks how she can contact them again. - In a later episode Fi would have gone to Tad Raxall for help in getting an "upgrade". Using the translator, and harnessing the power of SETI, he would have made his brower into a REAL universal gateway so that she could e-mail the aliens. - There was to be a Bermuda Triangle episode where Fi gets pulled into an alternate reality where her father never died, she had a little brother, and the Phillips-Kane Band was still together. -Fi would find documents in Melinda's attic giving clues about her father. - We would have discovered where Rick was going the night he died, and what he found thereBesides of that, a soundtrack, two more seasons (without the faked-3rd one, and a probable movie. But, what is weird is that when Annie signed for So Weird, she did for 1 season, no soundtracks but, what is really interesting, a movie. An interview was made to Cara DeLizia last year by an important Maryland magazine, and in this, Cara showed herself pretty interested in coming back (if it was possible, though a movie might never been recorded).So well, I'd tell the fans to keep the faith, and to remember: Life is SO weird.
asherffius So Weird is one of Disney's best made shows ever! I just don't know why it's taking them so long to bring it out on DVD. It's been almost a year since they renewed the rights for it. I would buy it in a heartbeat. I have been watching Disney try and duplicate what they did with So Weird but have never got close. The show had a perfect blend of weird stuff, action, awesome plot, and music that all mixed to create a lot of times a very emotionally powerful punch. My favorite episode is where Fiona is in Ireland. That episode is a perfect example of how emotionally powerful this series can get. Cara Delizia the actor who plays Fiona is brilliant. They could not have found a better actor to play Fiona. She had such subtle such as when there was something really emotional her bottom lip quivered ever so slightly. You can't fake or teach that kind of subtlety. Awesome show. Needs to be on DVD!!!!
Cory Hi. I just wanted to say how much I love "So Weird". I think the characters are excellent and believable. They interact wonderfully. In fact, this show is what brought me to Disney Channel. Thanks to it, I'm a fan of "Even Stevens", "Lizzie McGuire", "Kim Possible", and "That's So Raven". Fiona was by far better than Annie, but I can accept the latter. I thought they wrote the scripts well enough that the paranormal phenomona was realistic.The only thing I'm disappointed with is that Cara DeLizia left in the third season. Jon Cooksey, the executive producer and show-runner, had it outlined, but it was never made. Alas. Anyway, I still hold out hope for a movie. prydain15
Melissa Andrews I'm so glad it got canceld! I actully loved the first two seasons of this show, but when they brought that Annie girl in I practically broke my t.v. (o.k., maybe not quite) Bringing Annie into the show really messed it up. All of the "Fi" storys were interesting, but Annie's were pathetic. I mean, a protective panther? Yeah, riiiiiiight. Also, none of Annie's episodes scared you. I would burst out laughing at the "scariest" part, because Annie was waaaaaay over dramatic. I would have liked the show to last longer with Fi, but with Annie I'm glad it's gone.
