Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Illyngophobia We seen many,that is,too many reality shows with older teenagers and adults,but we never see any with kids or young teenagers.And Kid Nation came to the rescue.For 40 days,40 kids took the challenge,to build the first ever 'Kid Nation' in the ghost town,Bonzana.They face many challenges along the way.They all divide up into four district teams,and have their own leaders.The district leaders make up the town council,and make the choices in what happen.The teams much also do challenges,like races.But,heres' the other catch,if all four districts complete the challenges,then they will win one of two prizes,that they choose.If the four districts don't complete it (ex:3 complete it,1 doesn't),they don't win anything.But there is a higher hope,and something all the kids are excited for.Each week,one kid will be rewarded a gold star for their actions (ex:being very helpful,works hard,makes others feel better and laugh etc),all of which is decided by the council.And the gold star is worth it's weight in gold literally.Worth $20,000! But of course with every reality show,there will be fights,problems,conflict and struggles.And of course,the mot noticed thing,that many people talk about were the child labor problems and injury on the set.It has been reported that someone hurt their arm in one of the challenges,another got their face burnt from cooking oil,and three accidentally drank bleach.But they did get medical treatment.Overall,this was an entertaining show,and many wish it was still around.Season 2 would have probably aired around September of this year.

brad_317 I thought that Kid Nation was a pretty interesting take on society in general.And of course its partially scripted, they are not going to put the entire show into the hands of the kids and say run with it. But I think the reactions of the kids, the actions of the kids and the emotion of the kids is very really.It is almost a miniature of the real world. There are the hardworking kids and there are the lazy kids, there are the outgoing kids and there are the shy kids, there are the aggressive kids and there are the timid kids.All in all, it was an interesting premise and I thought, fairly well done.

marty-220 In a nutshell... watch it at least once and then make up your mind. Either you like it, hate it, find it somewhat endearing and inspiring or truly feel it is exploitative. But don't prejudge this based on what you've read in newspaper articles or on the Internet. That to me is just a sad commentary on what our country has turned into (protest and censor something without even knowing what it is about.) I personally find it entertaining and am happy to see kids that age be able to work together and handle life much better than many adults. And for people who feel parents should be concerned about leaving their kids out in the middle of nowhere with no adults around. Come on. There are more crew and production people on the premises than the 38 or 39 kids. These kids ARE supervised.But the bottom line is... there are many other shows on Wednesday night at the same time as KID NATION. If this isn't your cup of tea, don't watch it.

alohatoyall If something happened to you, are your kids prepared? At the worst case scenario, the adults are gone, will your kids survive on their own? Would they know how to cook a meal? I would want to know that they will step up to the challenge and survive. Disasters happen all the time and kids are left to fend for themselves. 911 left kids without parents and had to take care of their younger siblings. Katrina made our kids here grow up over night. Teach your kids to cook and do basic hygiene and housekeeping. You will be doing them a favor and teach them to be responsible and self sufficient. I was very happy to see on this show that there is leadership, self sufficiency, and compassion amongst them. Rabbit hunting for Jimmy brought those little boys together. As cute as it was, their discussion was a very adult thing to do, even though they reverted right back to being just little boys at the sight of girls coming. Other people think it's child exploitation. Someone always looks for the worst in things, and you are entitled to it. I just don't believe I have to be force fed with it. Scripted or not, I would want to know, "Have I taught mine enough to make it?"
