One of my all time favorites.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It could be defined in many way. as amusing, shocking, provocative, cruel. or just fun. as fall of idols in the cage of jokes. or as Ashton Kutcher show. in fact, a slice of American culture. not good, not worse. in essence, for give a reasonable verdict zou must be real subjective. so, a sort of Candid Camera for stars. strange, eccentric and result of a hard work of the team.

Ashton Kutcher, star/producer of one of the most idiotic movies ever made ("The Butterfly Effect", what else?), hosts this watchable candid camera show. Now, Ashton, as nearly all former fashion models who broke into the movies, can't act and isn't funny. And it's not like he is merely unfunny in the normal "Saturday Night Live" way; he is shockingly unfunny, quite annoying even. Kutcher seems to think that shouting is a sure-fire method to make people laugh. Did he study in the French School of Miserable Comedic Timing And Unfunny Noise-Making? The clips themselves are usually solid, but whenever Mr.Demi Ashton-Moore talks into the camera I get sudden, violent urges...The other annoying thing about "Punk'd" is the dumb name. The ultra-commercial, hip-hop-loving MTV using the word "punk" for any purpose, but especially for a show hosted by a geeky 7-foot Demi-worshipping ex-runway prancer? I don't think so.The good thing about "Punk'd" is that if often reveals the natural stupidity of most of its celebrity victims. Whether it be the blond lady-boy (Nick Carter) from The Backstreet Boys saying "Yo, bro, whassup?" in all earnestness and without a tinge of irony, or Kanye West making an utter cretin of himself by running away with his video's footage, the incredible egos of these mostly talentless morons come to the forefront and this can be occasionally fun to watch."Punk'd" can also be quite educational. For example, I had no idea that Usher actually wears a sock on his head even when he is inside a building, i.e. someplace warm. In other words, it's not just an image thing with him - i.e. having a black piece of cloth covering his bald, round head - but he actually believes in it. Talk about staying true to one's retarded hip-hop-hype ideals...Still, "Punk'd" is more something to pass away the time with when there isn't anything better on. To anyone who really thinks that Kutcher comes up with the ideas on his own: he has an IQ of a pigeon. Can pigeons write, comedy even? I've never seen one do it...Did I mention how astoundingly bad that 70s-based sitcom with Ashton is?...

Ashton Kutcher is a genius.The show is amazing and you enjoy it when you watch it. If you can punk celebrates and get away with it, you know it's going to be funny because watching your favorite celebrates make fools of themselves is entertaining. hey they are real people, who would know?!?! hey, who doesn't like to see Justin Timberlake ball his eyes out on national TV and have no idea what is going on? It's funny,it makes us see that they are real people and it makes you laugh. It's en-lighting from all of the other reality TV shows, (let's face it we can get sick and tired of watching American Idol) and it brings a whole new meaning to the word, i just got punk'd. So all you haters out there you need to lighten up, and enjoy good TV. So Ashton keep doing what you're doing.

Do I ever miss Candid Camera. That show actually showed some imagination in regards to the pranks they pulled. Of course if I was 10 years or younger, I might find Punk'd a good show. But now that I think about, I would still have to pity myself. Believe me, I am an immense fan of the practical joke. Having had many pulled on me as well as coming up with some good ones myself, so I can't understand how anyone can take the fine art of practical joking and reduce it to something so lame and pathetic. I think the makers of this show forgot that practical jokes are supposed to be funny and fun for all involved. Not just for themselves without including the audience or victims. Hopefully with all this DNA and stem-cell research going on, someone will be able to bring Allen Funt back. Until then I can't stand watching this lame second-rate sitcom reject trying to mug it up for the camera when there is really nothing to mug about at all. Truly sad.
