SLKneeland's reviews

This movie was so disappointing that I had to review it. Starts off slow and creepy, then just dissolves into meandering, plotless nothing and then ends. I honestly can't even pinpoint a climax, and I didn't feel like it gave enough explanation for the things that did happen. Like sex where someone nibbles your earlobe and you're like, okay, this is going to be a good time, then they just nibble your earlobe for an hour and a half and you're like... I feel stupid for letting you do this.

Ally McBeal starts out on an awkward but endearing premise, a young lawyer is swept up by an unconventional law firm partnered by her old school acquaintance only to be faced with working side by side with her first love. The first couple seasons are a roller-coaster ride in the amusement park of imagination, weaving between her love life and her investments in her cases and coworkers.

It goes downhill after about the third season. Certain main characters start to degrade in their charm and interest, leading to a re-shuffling of the lead roles. Sadly, this couldn't revive the show for me. Ally's quirks have grown stale, the repetitive plot-lines revolving around sexual harassment are old, and the rest of the cast's personalities seem to be moving in a jaded direction.

All in all, a cute show that really should have quit while it was ahead.
