Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
scarfyblue Im 17 years old and I love this show! Its probably one of the best shows on TV for young teens at the moment! The new series has just started on British TV and I cant wait to see more of it! The acting is good for the age of the cast and the plot is quite easy to relate to if you're a young teenage girl. It deals with the problems that girls have to experience- boys, school, friendship and family. It also contains all the necessary ingredients for a great show: A strong lead, 2 supporting best friends, 2 mean bullies, the hot older brother and crushes for the lead part. I prefer it to Zoey 101. The plot is a little more believable. Basically, Its a great show and well worth checking out!!!
MilkyFresh This show is terrible. An absolute disgrace for a TV series. If i could i would have given it 0 but unfortunately thats not possible so I'm gonna stick to as low as i can :P This show is based around a girl who tries to decipher life and all that rubbish. Don't get me wrong, i've watched a fair number of these kind of teenager series, but this one is a disgrace. Besides the absolute rubbish that it displays and I'm referring to the 'lessons' it teaches, the acting is absolutely shocking, the storyline wants to make u cry and the worst is the main character's obsessive singing. plain and simple - she is sh*t. She cannot sing to save her dog's damn life (although if i were her dog i'd probably want to kill myself anyway, so thats a pretty poor argument).This show is also centered around this girl's 'love' for this one guy, and every damn episode is about it and every song she 'writes' is about him. I'm embarrassed to say that i've even watched an episode and am disgraced that it is playing in my country. Maybe i should send a letter to MNET and request its removal.
gaio_blade Good Lord this show is AWFUL!!! The entire storyline is how an unpopular (and rightfully so) teenage girl stalks a guy for about 20 minutes of the episode, stutters in front of him, then runs away from him embarrassed. In the meantime her gigolo of a best friend goes around dating boys in 10th or 11th grade, while she's in (what I believe to be) 8th. Also, the entire time she thinks of her "worst enemies" getting annihilated or embarrassed in ways no person would be. Speaking of which, what high schoolers would go around yelling "BURRRRRRRN!!!" all the time? Makes no sense. Finally, Addie's singing is horrendous! I understand she isn't supposed to be the next American Idol, but if you can't sing, don't try to! The only reason she has her own show is because she wanted to be like Auntie Julia, end of story.Again, as with my Naked Brother's Band comment, I gave this show a chance. Saw about 5 episodes, and gave it up. So there.
Birstyjr Fabulous-fab·u·lous adj. Extremely pleasing or successful. Unfabulous is an antonym for this word. Why was it chosen for this Nickelodeon television show? A publicity tactic? Wordplay? Maybe an accidental typo that passed? The reason becomes obvious within twelve seconds of Addie Singer's spontaneous guitar notes, original lyrics to her life's events and a voice unlike any other. Addie Singer is played by Emma Roberts who's claim to fame was being the little niece of Julia Roberts and the daughter of Eric Roberts. My theory on genetics in the Roberts family is that talent seems to skip a generation so maybe Emma's children will have a shot at the big time. This show goes for the "average teenager" angle in hopes to target an audience. A failed tactic. Addie Singer lives the television definition of normal teenage life. A nice two story house in a middle class neighborhood, two parents who have no thought of divorce, a family dog, an annoying older brother, popular girls who are obsessed with makeup and fashion that can always be brought down by the average kids taking a stand, the popular guy that she's had a crush on since elementary school that barely notices her existence because she's too nervous to talk to him and Nickelodeon has added a guitar. Another failed tactic. Addie refuses to settle for ordinary and wants to be as unique as possible though several episodes along with the running plot line are based on Addie wanting to be like everyone else. I believe that's an example of irony. Addie has two main best friends, a smart guy named Zach and a best gal-pal named Geena. How very Lizzie Maguire-esquire. Her older brother is named Ben who often quotes how much he wishes he could be like Addie. Once he even went as far as to say to his girlfriend that he wished he could play the guitar as well as his little sister. I've heard one-legged dogs play the guitar better than Addie Singer. They sing better too. Addie's time can be divided into three main categories. School where she constantly hides behind the safety of her friends. Juice which is a place where teenagers "hang out" and what a surprise, drink juice. Sounds more like preschool without coloring books. Home where she writes her songs about flushing her dead pet goldfish, wishing she was a Mexican wrestler and in her own words "tossing her cookies on a yellow bus." Frankly watching this show made me want to toss my cookies.
