    Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
    Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
    Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
    Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
    vrt100 It was only now that I got to watch this show of Betty White, and I was even looking forward to it. At first, I thought it was funny. But then I realized that it is highly offensive. They made the elderly people look crazy and stupid, and objects of ridicule. They even made fun of nuns, which I think is highly irregular. And that series about not good looking people should not have babies, did you see the look on that young girl's face. That wasn't funny at all, and it must have been so hurtful to that young woman. NOBODY wants to hear such words. And who was talking? An elderly woman. What about those parts wherein old people were soliciting sex, what can be more gross than that!I am in my senior years and I felt so disrespected by this show. I don't understand why Betty White agreed to appear in such a show. It is offensive, disrespectful, cheap. They could have made a better show for her. This is not something to be proud about. I am so disappointed!
    roger-604 I can only assume they're mostly written by teenagers and/or Californians who have no clue to what real life is really like. I find this show to be a nice form of light entertainment.Chill-out cyberpunks and enjoy life! Spreading disdain and criticizing EVERYTHING that you yourself cannot do doesn't make you interesting. It just makes you sad. Thanks for the laughs, Betty!!!And for the comments about the the people being "punked" never finding-out that they've been "had", I'm PRETTY sure they have to sign a release for them to be aired.Yep... nothing "common" about common- sense anymore!!
    Sue Ferrer The main point the show tries to reinforce -- the elderly are sexual. One or two jokes or skits making that point would be enough, but that theme is emphasized over and over. The copious times the actors make passes at much younger people gets old.Also, too many of the candid-camera moments seem designed to cause discomfort in 20-somethings. Young people, trying to be helpful and kind, are harassed at times, in ways that I really don't find funny. I realize that later they are informed it is a TV show. Some of the hidden-camera vignettes are funny and innocuous, but I would prefer the producers used fewer that rely on intentional humiliation.
    Jorgescarlisle After only watching the first couple of episodes, i find myself wiping the tears of laughter from my eyes as i climb up off the floor from laughing so hard.Not all the skits are hilarious--White has enough foresight to back-load the majority of the funnier skits towards the end of the show, while the earlier ones that don't quite get there are bracketed by light enough bits that its hard to notice.The team she's working with here is outstanding. I have no doubt that Lorne Michaels is kicking himself for not grabbing these talented performers for SNL years ago.After watching the first episode, i found myself wanting to see some bits taking advantage of the youthful misconception that age equals frailty (in areas other than sex--which misconception White and her team successfully challenge.) There are a number of world class athletes out there that happen to be seniors. I'd love to see White take advantage of their skills and talents to really challenge the younger generation's world view. The skateboard skit in the second episode does this somewhat, but i'd like to see this go a lot further.These first couple of episodes are real comedy gold. The biggest question it poses to me is: Can she keep it up?
