    Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
    Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
    PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
    Cem Lamb 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.
    Animohn I know it is based on a British TV show, but, while I don't get why anyone would produce a remake while the original is still being filmed, I loved this show. I was deeply disappointed after I found out there won't be a second season and I get angry about this fact every time I re watch the show. I think it's great that there is/was a show about moving to Africa for a younger target-group. Most TV shows about or from Africa are more heavy and serious (I don't mean that this is generally bad). I'm personally a big fan of happy endings and shows that have a bit of a moral focus as well. Anyway for me it's a lighthearted, fun teenage/family drama.To be fair I should mention that the original is also good (though I knew 'life is wild' before 'wild at heart') but it is not published in my mother language and while I watch multiple shows in English some of the actors in the original are quite hard to understand for me. But judging from the few episodes that where dubbed and the rest in English I enjoy life is wild more because it is more relateable to me and in my opinion adds more small sidejokes to the drama than the original while the original is a little bit more serious.
    acreeation It seemed like a dumb idea from the jump: moving the Brady bunch family to Africa to bond. Africa, of all places. This was like a PBS special where you'll get to learn about a new culture while learning lessons about life in the midst. This show is like a poor version of 7th Heaven, when 7th Heaven was in its worst and final seasons (after half of their biological children left).The first episode was mildly interesting. Every episode after literally put me to sleep. The parents were dull. The children were duller.Perhaps if they focused less on trying to teach a loving lesson, it wouldn't have gotten canceled. Incredibly bad actors also, except the Mom. But, GOD, what a boring show.
    jokerjokerer This show is just perfect. It has the necessary adrenalin but not to much, it has some drama but not to much, just the needed one. At least in the first 12 episodes.I started watching it from the start. It just catch my attention. The first Episode I saw because the film started with Avril's Runaway song and I had read somewhere this particular information. But after the first five minutes I realized that the show is quite amazing and no way that I'll miss another part. The humor in it is always a little sarcastic but it fits quite well into the story.If I were to make as brief introduction of it I would say just this. Perfection. I think this can be a example for other series of how must be a show made. Just mixes up everything but in the perfect combination.It's sad that most of the people don't give this show the same equal chances that give towards a very aggressively promoted ones. But sadly now days near the quality another factor pumped up in our life. The power of influence. Just a few people can make a difference between quality and what's made brand. Series like, Lost for example, are quite low if we measure they quality, but it's stylish to watch it. SO tomorrow when you meet with Joe you can say hey I have seen Lost last week.But if anyone sacrifices just five minute to look beyond marketing and appearance will realize what this show is. The good job done by the producers. Learn to resist marketing and it shall change the quality of your life. This means sacrifice and determination for it, but once you do so you shouldn't regret it. Trust me on this! This show earned my respect and I'm confident that so will yours!
    BGrrl I wanted to watch this show because I love Africa and I was excited to see a show every week that would remind me of it. That part has been great! The dad on the show is a vet, so there are plenty of African animal plot lines, and that's fun. The rest of the plot though is predictable and not all that compelling. I continue to watch each week, but I don't think I'd care too much if I missed one. It is a pretty clean show, which is rare and refreshing. The boy gets into trouble, but it is usually followed up with a lesson and some character growth, another nice route. I think that the show is picking up speed, I'm starting to care a little more about the characters (7 episodes in) - sometimes a show takes a bit of time to get going. I will watch it as long as it runs.
