    Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
    Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
    Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
    Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
    satanenterprises This show is a unique and highly enjoyable experience. His interviewing style is not only hilarious to watch, but very effective at getting people to expose their most blunt and inner secrets. This means that each episode is not only a learning experience but laugh out loud funny.This also often results in some pretty intense scenes where people reflect on their often sad lives. At this point they either get mad at him, dismiss him, or take it on board. Usually they will simply dismiss or get mad which can make the show a little depressing at points. I would say this makes the humour more appealing to fans of shows like The Office and other British comedies, but also funny for and American audience because of Louis naive character.
    TeaBunny This show was great, I would definitely buy this on DVD. Louis hasthe best way of talking to various nutjobs and asking questionswithout belittling them or trying to make them look foolish; he justlets them do that on their own! He appears sincere and just out forinformation, which I believe he is. It's kind of like those Daily Showsegments without the smarm. I have nothing more to add, but theimdb wants me to write at least 10 lines, so here we go; this showrules, it's so great, I love it, yahoo, woo! Yes! this show rules, it's sogreat, I love it, yahoo, woo! Yes!this show rules, it's so great, I loveit, yahoo, woo! Yes! Bring this back, Bravo!
    commking I have to agree - This is a gem. Where he finds these people I don't know, but there is nothing else quite like Louis.There was a two DVD set available in the UK - not sure if it's still available, contains for episodes along with some extra's. It's worth chasing.
    jthompson-5 I have recently discovered this gem and I am very glad that I did. Louis Theroux is brilliant and he never lets that innocent guard of his down. Even when he is interviewing the most ridiculous people. Louis is the best! And to top it all off he is very easy on the eyes! He is the thinking woman's sex symbol.
