Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
irehawk Yeah, this show is good, but the reason it got discontinued right after season 2 in the wrong time because of the bad relation between former WB network president Jamie Kellner and the entire WB network station.This show was favored by the entire WB network station, but not by Jamie Kellner. Jamie is both an ableist and an ageist and that's why he messed up this show's entire second season and that led to this show's discontinuation.This show may need to be rebooted and aired in a low public type of cable network station, so it can last beyond 3 or more seasons without problems.
SnoopyStyle Sam McPherson (Carly Pope) is the leader of the Unpopulars, and Brooke McQueen (Leslie Bibb) is the queen bee of the Populars. To both their dismay, their divorced parents (Sam's mom and Brooke's dad) decide to be a couple. This leaves them in competition more than ever. And the two group clash. Some of the outstanding cast includes Sara Rue, Christopher Gorham, and Leslie Grossman.This is Ryan Murphy's first success in the TV world. It's a colorful teen high school drama. It pits a group of Unpopulars against a group of Populars. It's a flashy start with a lot of promise. But it lasted only 2 years. The second season really deteriorated as the group dynamics get muddy.
upintherainbow Considering that there's a fair number of reviews already, I doubt anyone will read this. I wanted to write a short one for popular anyway and I seriously encourage everyone to watch this show. It somehow managed to combine humor and drama perfectly into one episode. Some of the episodes were honestly laugh out loud, but could also make me cry at the same time. Mary Cherry was hysterical! Popular seems like its filled with stereotypes with the typical cheerleader but really the characters are really well developed that it becomes a lot deeper than that. I loved all the characters and believed in all of them. The only negative thing I have to say is that the last few episodes got a little weird in terms of character motivations but other than that it is a fantastic show.
popularstrangers anyway popular rocks. this show is so out there you have to love. it delivers drama comedy and somewhat a little romancing. every character nailed there parts to a tee. Marry Cherry being my favorite of all of them. She has a gift for comedy. she just nails it so seriously it is laugh out loud funny. Nicole Julian is such a bitch that you have to love her. I couldn't think of anyone else to play her than her. And then there is Brooke McQueen. Plays perfect little angel but isn't so much of an angel herself. Then we have Sam McPherson plays the little hard ass but really does want to be noticed herself. And Lilly Espisito so hard up about saving the world but needs to save herself first but i do like her a lot. "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka".Then there is Carmen Ferrara who i like most of all the "unpopular girls". Has the biggest heart of anyone on the show and she just has talent so good as I watch her I'm thinking that this girl is so gifted she will probably win an award some day in her life. Anyway this show was awesome and they always have to cancel such a great thing. BRING IT BACK Ryan Murphy
