This movie started well, George Clooney and Tilda Swinton were great. Felt it fizzled out into a "seen that done that" legal genre film which was a pity as it could have been so much more.

The first episode of this new series was disappointing. Having enjoyed the previous seasons of this American TV comedy, this opening episode dragged along and wasn't as funny or entertaining as usual.

As the contestants get whittled down, the competition is getting tougher, patience is wearing thin and the tension is rising. This is my favourite reality tv cookery based series and I've enjoyed the 3 preceding series.

If it's a choice between watching this movie or watching paint dry, go with the paint. Another "worthy" mind-numbing waste of time and money. Tourist in Morocco is shot by gun used by two kids which was given to someone they know by Japanese tourist...

I started off liking this and hoped it would go in a particular direction but it's degenerated badly after only four episodes. The focus on the bimbos and nitwits is very annoying. The interesting characters are Tripp and his wife. Even the Senator son who likes trannies could have some decent story lines if they tried. Initially the priest son had potential too. But it has all been squandered by turning them into incredibly boring caricatures. Who, apart from Hollywood execs, would think that anyone else would find rich self-obsessed spoiled brats interesting?

If you grew up in the 80's then you must have felt a pang when you heard they were making this. Yes, the original was cheesy as hell but it was also great fun. This is a pretty poor update but had enough to keep me watching to the end.
