PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

snperera well what can I say about this?!! How amazing and how great is this show! This is my childhood. Shia was so great in this show! He is so funny as Louis and he really took the role to heart! I love the chemistry between the sister and Shia. They really act like how a sister and a brother would act in real life. I loved how simple the show was as well. I also loved the parents in this show and Louis's friends as well. They add great chemistry and comedy to the show as well. I will always love the show. I loved that they showed that no matter how much the siblings fought that they loved each other and that they would do anything for each other. Louis is such a likable character as well.

Pepper Anne Even Stevens, surprisingly only on the air for three years, was great entertainment for teenage audiences (and younger ones, too) for the simple fact that Shia La Beouf can really make you laugh.The Stevens are your typical Disney-esquire family arrangement. Concerned mother, sometimes doofus father, stupid older son, brainy over achieving daughter, and the cooky youngest son, Louis (La Beouf). Over time, many members of the family receded from the spotlight as the plots eventually came to revolve more and more around the trials and tribulations of Ren, the older sister, and Louis. Often, their individual adventures and misadventures conflicted with one another. Somehow, Louis's wild, happy-go-lucky plans for fun and mischief often got in the way of Ren's quest for perfection and all the honest values her character consistently espouses. So often, they would butt heads, but in a way that ended in those moralistic endings with sister and brother getting along in the end.But, really, despite a more dominant presence of Christy Romano, who played Ren, Shia La Beouf was the pure gem of the show, and probably the biggest catch for audiences, particularly among young girls who would love the goofy mischief of Louis and his equally goofy friend, Twitty (AJ Trauth). Beouf has a natural ability to really make you laugh, even though you're just watching a silly and albeit, corny, Disney television series for younger kids. Especially, during the shows when Louis and Twitty were trying to buy brand name shoes to fit in with the fleeting fashion tastes of their fellow classmates; when they formed the band and had a real superficial rock n' roll experience with the full rise and fall of success and friendship; when they made the student film; or when Twitty and Louis took over the janitor's closet to create their own authentic Mexican fiesta lounge. These kids really knew how to make you laugh, and the writers took advantage of that, by creating some bizarre and funny situations for the young actors.Even Stevens is a funny show because it doesn't hang on to the tired obsessions that other young characters on television may do like Lizzy Macguire or the terrible range of sitcoms on the WB where it is all a high school drama over boyfriends and girlfriends. Even Stevens offered a lot more and was more of a show about camaraderie.I suspect the show came to an end when it's young stars really got too old to play their respective parts, what with La Beouf and Trauth both approaching their late teens and Romano approaching her early twenties (and Donny, the eldest, approaching his forties, no less). But it was an innocent, funny show that I recommend younger audiences trying out. Unfortunately, Disney reruns the same ones over and over. But check it out. La Beouf won't disappoint you.

mr_whud Even Stevens is one of my top 10 shows of all time. The characters are great. A lot of people don't like Beans, but I think he can be hilarious. The supporting cast is excellent, but the show belongs to Shia. He's a superb actor (everyone on the show is, in my opinion). The writing is witty, clever, and original, and some episodes literally have me laughing for over half an hour (and most shows are unable to elicit more than a chuckle from me). It's too bad there's a 65-episode limit, 'cause I'd definitely like to see some new episodes (although most of 'em I haven't seen). Anyway, if you have Disney Channel, give it a try. You'll probably enjoy it.

DominqueZarinha I get a ball out of watching this show everyday. I love it! My favourite character is Louis (Shia LaBeouf). He is so funny and not to mention cute. He's always coming up with these "half baked" schemes and then someone is always blaming him for something or the other. Donny, Beans, Steve, Eileen, they are all wonderful. Donny's a bit of a flake though. Tawny is good as well as Twitty. However let's get dirty. Then there is Ren. Now I'm not perfect but then who is. She acts too perfect for me. Christy Romano Carlson can act really good and all but the one thing I hate to see her do is sing. I HATE TO HEAR HER SING. PLEASE. She cannot sing. What about that episode with the surfers. There she is singing "Surf's up, let it roll, let it rock, let it roll". Her annoying high pitched sh**ty voice drowns out everyone else in it. UGH! Ren, words of advice, don't sing, please, just don't. She could cause Monsoon rains to start! I love Louis though. He's the only reason I watch. He's funny and he makes the show what it is and it couldn't have been better.
