    SunnyHello Nice effects though.
    Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
    Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
    Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
    filmpudding I know un-good is not a real word but it somehow seems to fit this show perfectly.The writing is really awful, the acting is mostly awful too, and the show as a whole is bad as well. The entire concept behind this show is just flawed.This is yet another pretty terrible sketch comedy series on Canadian television.There are a lot of people I recognize in this show and I think it may be the same people from Hotbox which is another confusing, annoying, unfunny mess of a sketch comedy series. How do these shows keep getting made and how do these people keep getting work? I am almost ready to give up on Canadian TV.I give it a three because other shows are actually easily worse (such as the Hotbox that I already mentioned) but it's definitely not worth watching either.
    Denis McGrath Sunnyside has a loosely-strung narrative that trades whimsy and darkness. Sometimes it's laugh out loud, sometimes scabrous, but always weird, lovingly splaying urban tropes from hipsters to cops to cat ladies. The absurdity recalls Kids in the Hall, the character work SCTV. It's a nice stretch to the form that serves up a great WTF moment in each half hour. Some of the types you'll meet in Sunnyside are fun, some are foul. Some of the situations are situationally funny -- like the bachelorette bridezilla who everyone's afraid to confront. And some are just gems of performance, like most everything Alice Moran or Pat Thornton does. It's nice to see a mix of humor styles and concepts wrapped up in a loose package. It reminds me of what was once said a million years ago about Monty Python -- if you don't like what you see, wait ten seconds, and it will be something totally different.I miss some of these characters already, and look forward to seeing them again soon.
    Denis McGrath It's a Toronto sketchy neighbourhood by way of Winnipeg where its filmed, but the real state of Sunnyside is the kind of slightly absurdist, deft and odd comedy that we used to get from Kids in the Hall. Every episode has a loose structure on which to hang recurring characters and bits, most of which are never too long and some of which are screamingly funny. A long time ago I remember being told about Monty Python, if you don't like what's going on, wait ten seconds. Sunnyside's a bit like that. Fantastic character work, engaging premises and never less than satisfying. It warms my jaded blackened, manhole-sized heart.
    Alexandra Black This show is really terrible. Trying to be funny by showing you situations that would normally went completely different.... but it just awkward an not funny...There are lots of characters, but I couldn't care less for any of them. The situations are completely ridiculous. The only positive thing I can say about this is that its only 20min long.... thankfully.Watched first episode out of curiosity, bu no - this show is not anything I would like to watch again.The only "good" character.... and good is very low in this case is the blonde police woman. All and all - terrible show, terrible writing and the actors were not at their best either...
