Review

This nutty show has the hapless Forrest engaging himself in all sorts of nutty adventures in order to review everyday life. The show is made up of a number of separate reviews, but the show is at its best when it ties them together into one seamless experience. This was the case in the first episode, in which stealing and addiction come together in a prom, but for the most part the show is less cohesive. But it's always quite funny.

This show is based on an English show, and it's interesting to see how different the approach is. I've seen two episodes of that one so far (they're all on youtube). The English critic is pretentious and approaches his task with a grim certainty that it must be done. Forrest, on the other hand, acts as though he is being blown by fate into insane situations; one difference is Forrest needs a producer to egg him on in moments of doubt. It's a very different approach, and so far I like the America version better.

The problem with this series for me is it can get too dark. While it's always funny, after a while the show was getting so grim, as Forrest shreds his life for his job, that I found it hard to watch, and somewhere in season 2 I just kind of stopped, although I still intend to watch again sometime.

Definitely recommended though.

I don't know how I didn't know about this show when it actually aired and why it's not still on. The premise is such a brilliant idea and something I could definitely see being made into a realty show. The difference is the reality show would scrutinize the viewer suggestions for what to review and they'd pick the easy ones. I've seen Andrew Daly in the background of other movies/shows and I never thought one way or the other about him but he is spot on in this. Forrest MacNeil (Daly) is a married father of one son who has a review show on tv. He doesn't review books or food or movies, he reviews everyday life and gets his suggestions from viewers. It can be anything from eating 15 pancakes, having a best friend, to stealing, doing drugs, and making a sex tape. No matter the request he must do whatever the suggestion says and that's where the hilarity comes in.

This guy doesn't get comedy. Amy schumer is a great comedian, but her show is trying to shove "funny" down your throat so hard that it loses credibility. The same goes for the kroll show. Review is a fresh concept and Andy pulls off laughs without trying so hard you shudder from the douche chills. I felt like it had just enough painful awkwardness without going overboard and relying on it to carry the show.I honestly thought the show was gonna be dumb when i saw the previews but I laughed non stop through the whole first episode. If it was any other host I think the show would be a flop but Andy is a perfect fit and plays the part flawlessly IMO. I give it a MILLION STARS!!!!!!!

A Very enjoyable farce in which the host is game for a laugh. The seriousness and commitment that Andrew Daly brings to the character is to be applauded. He reviews many life situations from the bizarre to the feared and delves in with enthusiasm that's to be admired. Everything from "being gay" to "murder" to "joining a cult". In short, try everything in life and review it!!!

I only hope it hasn't been cancelled or worse that the presenter hasn't died from heart failure.

Here I am reviewing "reviewed"

O the irony. I dare you not to laugh.

I had no idea what this was going into it, I only found out about it while surfing the CC website and checking out clips on various shows. As I watched each video I began to notice I was laughing nonstop at each short scene. I thought if these two minute snidbits are this funny then the full half hour must be hilarious. Sure enough I watched the first episode and spend the rest of the night binge watching season 1 and the first episode of season 2. This show is laugh out loud funny, just dirty enough to be edgy, and the writing is some of the freshest and most clever on TV. I knew Andy Daly from EastBound and Down, although funny throughout that series, he only played a minor part in it. But in this show he shines like no other comedian I've seen in awhile and I couldn't see anyone else filling this role. Each episode takes you on a hilarious adventure with Forrest as he tries to navigate these insane and grueling reviews. His consistently oblivious nature puts him at odds with the people around him and sets in motion some of the funniest comedic situations on television. The reviews he has sent in each week range from joining the Mile High club to finding out what it's like to be a little person, but it's the way Forrest goes about surveying these reviews that really makes the show so remarkable. I give it ***** Stars!
