Synopsis

In this improvisational comedy competition, four guest stars walk into a live improvised comedy sketch, in which they know nothing beyond the costumes they have been given, and greeted by the line 'Thank God you're here!'. They must improvise their way through the sketch with the other actors onstage until a judge sounds a horn. The guest proclaimed the winner by judge Dave Foley takes home a cheap trophy -- and, of course, bragging rights. Based on the Australian series of the same name.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
SnoopyStyle A weekly improvised sketch game show that features four celebrities as they walk into a live sketch without a script. The only thing they can count on is the greeting from a fellow actor in the skit, who proclaims upon their arrival, "Thank God You're Here!" Based on an Australian show.This is truly a hit or miss show. The biggest factor is the performer. They need someone with a quick mind, experience doing standup, manic energy, and a willingness to be inappropriate. There aren't that many great ones around. When it's funny, it could be hilarious. But there're just too many unfunny sketches.
innsaane-1 This show is terrible. I cannot get over the complete waste of great talent this show contains. This is not entertaining improvisational acting, it's just a cheap attempt to throw someone famous comedic actors onto a stage and have them perform a poorly improved scene. I have actually done improv work as an actor, and this show is not improv.What the audience is actually laughing at (if they're actually laughing at this show at all, it looks quite fake) is the embarrassment of the guest star being lost like a deer in headlights. The dumb, completely unrelated things they come up with are what people laugh at. And if it's not part of the scene, the actors will tell them that it's wrong! I find this show is disgrace to the art, and makes me cry for shows like Whose Line is it Anyway, which had great talent, great improv games, and on top of everything else, didn't make me want to change the channel.
silvy696 Get the right actors/actresses in there, and it's funny. Harland Williams, Kevin Nealon and Wayne Knight were my favorites. Some of the other stars didn't do improv so well...they might wanna screen some of these people first...Brian Cranston and Tom Green did okay, although I think those two went over the top. Chelsea Handler and Shannon Elizabeth did a pretty good job, too, but there were moments of "non-funnyness" in their performances.The other performers I've seen so far just didn't do well in my opinion, but I think the show is definitely worth watching just so you don't miss those classic performances like with Harland Williams.
vanquish2020 Seemed like a great concept, even if it was borrowed from another country. But a great concept doesn't equal a great show. The improv done here is horribly unfunny and amateurish. Jokes repeatedly fall flat because they just aren't funny on any level. It's just a bunch of actors that were funny on other shows because the humor was written for them. Put them in an improv situation and they are lost. The show was painful to watch, I would avoid future episodes like the plague, unless they can bring in some actual comedians.Oh and Foley and Grier are doing their best to pretend any of what they are witnessing is the least bit funny, but even they are failing miserably.
