The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Rosie Searle
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Skylar (Pamela Anderson) goes into a San Fran area bookstore called Stacks one fine day. She needs a book on relationships NOW. Very eager to help is one of the co-owners, Stuart (Brian Scolaro), who is please as punch to have such a stunning female in the place. His brother, fellow owner Gavin (Elon Gold) is less certain, being more cerebral. In fact, Gavin, who is a not-so-successful published author, has been trying to get back with his wife, although the divorce came through two years ago. Therefore, when the ex comes in the door, he begs Skylar to pretend to be his new galpal. She agrees, even though she thinks Gavin is a pain, having recommended a haughty, very long psych book to her. Soon, the ex may indeed be changing her attitude toward Gav while Stuart just wants to hear about Skylar's past. In fact, bolstered by the advice from a self-help book, Skylar decides to summon her cheating boyfriend to the place and call it quits in front of the world! Fun times, are ahead, especially when Stuart urges Skylar to join the staff. After all, she is already charming customers, like the retired professor (Christopher Lloyd) who visits daily. The lovely lady agrees. With this new twist at Stacks, what other entertaining events are ahead for the gang? Lots! This fun show, albeit a bit racy, was once on Fox, for a season or two. For those who missed it, like me, shame, shame. Its quite enjoyable. Anderson's sweet voice and knockout looks are most welcome while Gold and especially Scolaro are a stitch. Lloyd, too, is a treasure and so is the woman who plays the barista. Of course, not many books get sold in each episode but with nice costumes, sets, plots, humor, and great timing, Stacked stacks up well for an evening's pleasure. Make that multiple evenings, dear viewers.

When I learned that 'Stacked' featured Christopher Lloyd, known best for his fantastic performance as 'Doc' Emmett Brown from the Back to the Future trilogy, I was astounded. When I learned of what an absolute wreck of a sitcom he had sold himself off into, I was even more astounded.In this age of series like 'My Name is Earl' and 'Office', sitcoms like 'Stacked' shouldn't happen. It is no wonder it was cancelled, because even for a sitcom, the writing was so horribly clichéd and anemic that even an actor like Christopher Lloyd couldn't save the jokes and his character. And yet, he was a more of a side character compared to Pamela Anderson's Skyler, who I'm guessing the horrible pun of a title refers to. And really, just the name, 'Stacked', tells everything you need to know about this show. The setting was good, and with a supporting actor like Lloyd, it could have turned into something fantastic, but this is just a horrible misuse of that potential, a depressing fest of tripe and shame.

Hearing the title of the show "Stacked" and then hearing that Pamela Anderson was starring in it i thought this show would be terrible. However being one that enjoy's sitcoms i thought i'd give this one ago. Surprisingly it is quite a good show, it took me a couple of shows to warm to it. At the beginning i thought, yes this is an alright show. So thinking it had potential continued watching it and a few shows into the series came a show that had me laughing out loud hilariously through the whole episode, like other sitcoms that i've enjoyed.Skylar (pamela Anderson) plays a lady who is trying to make her life more steady and less wild, Gavin (elon gold) the owner of the store who clashes with Skylar, Stuart (Brian Scolaro) desperately wants Skylar, Katrina (Marissa Jaret Winokur) tends to have the witty comments and acts like a sound bored for Skylar and Harold (Christopher Lloyd) the regular customer who sits and reads his paper, drinks his coffee and is the wise old man with the voice of reason. The banter of the brothers, the clash of Skylar and Gavin, the chasing of Skylar by Stuart, straight up humour of Katrina and the perspective of the retired scientist make this show an interesting combination of personalities and a great base for a comedy show. Being set in a book store i never expected such a setting to be able to create such a funny dialogue/characters. My first thought is that this show reminds me a lot of "Just Shoot Me". "Just Shoot Me" is one of my favourtie sitcoms and "Stacked" i believe has the potential to be a really good sitcom, it's certainly one of the better one's to recently come out.

The writing is as amateurish as it is hackneyed and generic. The plots are thin and uneventful. The dialogue is stiff and dull. The gags are generic and not as frequent as you expect from a gag-driven show. If you've seen VIP you know Pam is capable of being a great self-effacingly comedic actor, something the material in this show gives her little opportunity to demonstrate. The bookstore owner and his co-worker are both such eunuchs that the supposed sexual tension between them and Pam is far from believable. Stuart is the archetype of the unlovable loser. When you think Pam Anderson you don't exactly think high class, but I'd think this show would be beneath even her. How Christopher Lloyd got roped into doing this show is an even bigger mystery. His random weirdo character gets the funniest dialogue to work with, but with this show that isn't saying much. The double entendre in the show title is as clever as any of the content in the show is going to get.
