    CookieInvent There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.
    Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
    ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
    Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
    SonicStuart I can't believe why FOX decided to put this show on Fridays where the show wasn't going to get real fair in terms of ratings! Jonny Zero is a drama about a guy named Jonny who is freshly released from prison for drug possession and is now caught between his need to redeem himself in the eyes of his family, and the temptations and influences of his own dark past. Jonny goes back to work for his former boss, shady club owner Joseph Garret but this time he uses his criminal knowledge of New York's club scene to solve crimes. Meanwhile, the FBI is trying to force him to go undercover and bust his old friends in the underworld. FOX should have put this show on either Mondays or Wednesdays and the show would have not been canceled by FOX in the first place. Fridays isn't really the best night of the week for any prime-time network because everyone is out doing stuff on Friday nights. But thought this show was cool and FOX should bring this show back!User Rating: 9/10BOTTOM LINE: BRING THIS SHOW BACK!
    jeremyandpatti I can't believe the show was canceled. I noticed it was not on my TVO and in its place was a rerun of some other show. Friday nights are a terrible night for shows. No one is home to watch them and therefor they don't get good ratings. I liked Zero. I watched every episode. Its not like they will get better ratings on any rerun of some other show. Leave the show to the end of the season at least. Fox does this all the time. No one watches your shows because you cancel them too fast. For example, Dark Angel, the spin off show of fast and furious with Bill Bellame and Tiff amber Theisen and I am sure many others. Very frustrating.
    Michel Marion I have to say that Johnny zero is a bit different from the other action shows that I have seen on TV for the past few years. I have to agree with an other user's comment saying that Franky G is sometimes a little too stiff in certain scenes but I can see that he fits the bad guy / good guy mold perfectly...you know, rough around the edges but smoother in the inside!!! He will grow into his character and then he'll be able to make us relate to that guy (Johnny) because it will come out a lot more natural. Since he seems to have all the right ingredients for that part I'm sure it will get way better!!! I have to say something about the sidekick (GQ)...from the first episode the character seems to be a little too comfortable in being shot at or looking at a gang of thugs waiting to beat you up and acting somewhat a little too calm about all this. It's like Johnny has found someone who's been waiting to be a sidekick all his life. Johnny has been in jail so he's somewhat used to that...but him??? I like GQ (Random)he's all right but the writers need to have this character step back a little and slowly get to be the friend, partner, sidekick of Johnny...it has to be a lot more natural people!!! My opinion also is that he needs to have somewhat of a better reason for wanting to hang around Johnny...not just because he wants to be pals with him. We all know why johnny bends in that direction, we know his angle...what's his??? With a little fine tuning I see a future for that show!!!
    tracerbullet003 I thought that this show would be good, as the producer behind ER was doing this show...boy, was I wrong. For being marked as another "tough guy who doesn't play by the rules," Jonny runs away from almost every fight in the show. Other times, he simply gets beat up by bouncers, the FBI, and even a 17-year-old girl who kicks him in the 'nads. That's not to mention his acting, in which Jonny always sounds like he's tired, whining, or both. And his sidekick "Random" is another stereotypical "lame white boy trying to act black." Why, oh why did a man who produced ER decide to attach his name to this piece of crap? If this show is lucky, it will get five episodes out before being cast back into the darkness from whence it came.
