I was surprised when I saw this movie because I was suspecting a horrible B movie and it turned out to be an hysterical studio level movie. I saw a screening at the HBO Comedy Film Festival in Aspen and I thought it was the best movie I saw all week. I can't believe it didn't get a theatrical release.

It has a great ensemble cast and a great plot. Everyone wants their fifteen minutes of fame, but how crazy do you go when you get it. In this movie the family goes completely overboard when they get there shot at fame, which I felt was really funny.

I am looking forward to seeing it again when Warner Bros releases it in August.

You will laugh your butt off. I See You way funny spoof on how we all got hooked on reality TV garbage like Big Brother. Down on their luck family needs money. Geek son wires house with nanny cams to show subscribers online what is happening. Silly funny good time. Characters were unbelievable how good they were. Jokes were perfectly timed. How many of us out here in IMDb have given in to a reality show? I'm guilty of watching Brett Michaels from a hair band in a series. I See You is a reality TV show in a movie. When geek son makes a deal to sell ads he meets two idiots that do that cool guy sell. That made me laugh. Wife getting burned being a day trader buying Enron and Worldcom stocks hilarious. Movie was a joke on reality TV. I got the joke. Rent this when you want laugh without thinking to hard.

I saw this at the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck, Michigan.

This was an okay movie, nothing really special. The first half of it was good, but then it sort of went the traditional route and didn't seem very original. It's about a family that's having some money troubles. Beau Bridges plays a single father who marries single mother Rosanna Arquette. The son comes up with a way to fix the money problems. To get back at his half sister, he puts a video camera in her room and puts the footage on the internet. It becomes a big success so he decides to put cameras in every room in the house. The result becomes one of the first reality shows ever, and he is the only one in the family that knows they are being watched.

There were just too many plot holes and some of the characters seemed pretty pointless (especially Jessica who arrives late in the film and does absolutely nothing). And the ending was pretty weak as well.

It's probably be best to pass on it if it comes to theaters, rent it if you're a fan of the stars, but other than that, this is a movie to watch at home when it's on TV.

The divorced salesman Harvey Bellinger (Beau Bridges) sells toilets and lives with his teenage daughter Audrey Bellinger (Baelyn Neff). When he meets the former Playboy centerfold Lydia Ann Layton (Rosanna Arquette), who is addicted in Stock Market and lives with her teenage son Colby (Mathew Botuchis), they immediately get married and move in together. Out of the blue, Harvey is fired and Lydia loses all their savings in the Stock Market. They need to reduce drastically their expenses and they quit superfluous expenses including cable TV. Audrey has an argument with Colby and drops his laptop on the floor. His girlfriend Randi Sommers (Shiri Appleby) suggests they expose Audrey in Internet and Colby buys a camera to revenge. Soon they begin a reality show sort of "Big Brother" business, and Colby decides to install cameras in every room in the house. They site becomes popular and a TV network offers a profitable contact to Colby and Randi. When the family discovers that their lives have been exposed but in a profitable way, they decide to include two new participants, the Italian Ciro Menotti (Victor Alfieri) and the call-girl Jessica (Tiffany Baldwin). But they face many problems.

"I-See-You.Com" is a comedy with a good storyline that becomes a missed opportunity. The screenplay becomes a mess and the direction is lost between a comedy and a drama. The plot could have explored the human greed or the damage that the media and reality shows can cause to a family. But in the end, this film is neither funny nor dramatic. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Vejo Vocês.com" ("See You.com")

I saw this film at the Waterfront film festival and thought it was hysterical. What a biting satirical snap shot of our society's mindless obsession with 15 minutes of fame, Paris HILTON and getting rich quick. Think of it as FEAR FACTOR meets DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS... on STEROIDS! The story was refreshingly original and did not succumb to the typical dumb formulas of most studio comedies today. I was in a crowd of nearly 700 regular movie goers and it was interesting to see a Midwestern audience not only get the jokes, but belly laugh out loud at a pretty sophisticated farce that did not resort to the obvious Will Farrell and Ben Stiller shtick.

I hope it makes it to the big screen.
