This is not the kind of comedy that makes you laugh. It's more of an educational drama with a touch of funny.

The characters are all good and the environmentalist theme of the show is nice. Still it doesn't really amaze you in any way. It's just something to watch when nothing else is on. For example when watching the pilot I almost laughed out loud during the final scene before the credits, so it definitely doesn't itch everyones laugh nerves.

The animation is good, I like the realism of it. I also liked the irony of the pet dog being a vegan (against his will of course). The characters are the stereotypes you would expect. They include the parents, the mother being the obsessive one and the father being more relaxed but still staying true to the cause. The teenage daughter is fairly normal with teenage problems. The weirdest character is the adopted white African American son who seems to not be all there but yet excels in everything he does.

Maybe there is potential that I didn't quite catch or I just simply don't enjoy the subtle comedy, because I like to laugh when watching a comedy. Anyway I'll give it 5 out of 10 for being too plain.

The hype about Lost was the reason I started watching it. I watched season one and it still seemed to evolve into a reasonably interesting direction. From season two it just kept getting more confusing. Everyone just keeps talking in riddles and no one wants to tell anyone anything. Plus the overall dialog in this series is some of the worst, most clichéd and boring I've ever encountered anywhere. Still somehow I've managed to keep watching the episodes up until season five. My limit is full and Lost is lost from me forever. Looking back at the time I've wasted watching Lost makes me regret ever starting to watch it the first place. I don't know if there are major plot events ahead that will make it all make sense, but I won't be around to see it. This is totally overrated, very slow paced and annoyingly secretive series. And the flashbacks of the characters past is the biggest turn off for this show; they are way too often and do not serve a purpose, most of them are just fill while the writers are trying to come up with something at least remotely interesting. My rating has declined steadily from nine to what it is today and that number is deservedly one.

This is a beautiful film with a plot that keeps you thinking and guessing. It handles very big issues concerning the human soul, existence and the mind.

The movie is filmed very nicely. The cinematography is great, like every single scene has been thoroughly thought through. The movie it self has an easy going nature. You simply enjoy watching it as you at the same time wonder about the big questions rising in your mind.

The actors are wonderful and captivating. Especially Tilda Swinton dominates the screen with bright red hair and piercingly black eyes. Tom McCamus is very good too. When you add a phenomenal soundtrack to the equation you get a ravishing experience all together.

Here is a film that will give food for thought and will also do it gently, at the same time caressing your eyes and ears with beautiful cinema and music.
