    Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters
    Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
    Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
    Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
    XTRADER Friday Night With Jonathan Ross must have those in charge of Ross rubbing their sweaty little palms together. They know the BBC lacks imagination when it comes to talk shows so when they have Jonathan Ross at their disposal they are quite settled to just sit back and let a half wit command this primetime slot.Ross Spends most of the show grooming his ego and smiling about how much the BBC is paying him. The show is a complete copy of many US Chat Shows - Leno, Letterman, Conan O Brian, the list goes on - but he and his team have clearly seen what works on the masses can also be done for the dumb masses in the UK also.The unfortunate situation - he has no competition? Parkinson has gone by the reality is he was never really up to much except grooming a celebs ego. Can't we have someone funnier and slicker on British Screens instead of Jonathan Ross? Once Ross has built up his ego enough he will then proceed to the very boring concept of the stiff celebrities in the green room - so trying to get on with each other. If an A-Lister is present (which is so often the case these days - as there are no other chat shows they can turn to - to promote their latest movie) - he will spend the next hour either flirting with them or trying to be their best friend in the Universe. Sqeamish when he had Ringo Starr on - a man that cares nothing for licking arse - Ross genuinely was begging for his mobile phone number (as common policy on this show is for Jonathan Ross to get everyones number so he can be seen in the right company when not working). Of course Ringo said it how it is - and simply said no I don't like you - dead pan serious.Ross needs to be axed from all Awards and TV shows - the masses will get over it.
    Aman Somal This has got to be the best talk show of all time. Great guests most of the time, and when there not Wossys even better at humiliating them while having great banter. US talk shows could learn a few things from this, all of them seem to be stuck in the 80's, they look cheap and the variety aspect has long been dead. This is the new age show, as it remains classy even with its lewd and crude sense of humour. Jonathan Ross could be the funniest person on TV. The show never has a bad week, regardless of the guests, Ross always turns up on song, having a unique chemistry with each guest be it Madonna and Paul Newman or some reality TV star its entertaining. The show also has a great musical act every week from big bands such as U2 and Oasis to smaller new bands getting their upstart like Kasabian and Arctic Monkeys. Try and find some of the old episodes, some of my favourites include, Jim Carrey, Jack Black, Cameron Diaz, Ricky Gervais, Ben Stiller and Daniel Radcliff.
    Chris Gaskin Friday Night With Jonathon Ross is now BBC1's top chat show after Parky defected to ITV.He has some quite well known stars on and in the past these have included Madonna, Roger Moore, the late John Mills, Tom Jones and several soap stars. When not being interviewed, the guests have to wait in a rather small room together.One rather annoying thing about this show is that group known as "4 Poofs and a Piano. They don't seem to serve any useful purpose and all they do is sing (try to) when a guest comes on. They also show off.Apart from that group, Friday Night with Jonathon Ross is quite entertaining, even though Wossy has trouble pronouncing his R's.
    abranteg Friday Night with Jonathan Ross is without a doubt the funniest talk show I have ever seen, and believe me I have seen a few. Not only does Jonathan Ross succeed in getting the most popular celebrities (mostly comedians and actors) on his sofa, he can also make them say/do things, they wouldn't consider saying/doing anywhere else.Between guests Jonathan takes his time to reflect on the more bizarre things in society in general, and his personal life in particular. It seems to me that any trivial task can turn into a gruesome ordeal when it's left in the hands of the funny man. Luckily for us the man has no pride whatsoever, so he doesn't mind telling us about the more shameful mistakes he has made in his lifetime: RESPECT!A special contribution to the show is made by the house band, Four Poofs and a Piano ( I'm not making this up ). Every week they pay a special tribute to one of the show's guests by wearing a customized T - shirt with his/her face on it. Besides that, every guest is introduced by the band with a song that seems to be all about them/their life.In short: great variety of guests; wickedly funny, bizarre, and from time to time scary.
