It is a performances centric movie

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Too much time spent showing the host, judges, and audience. The acts are bad - that is the point - not watching the staff trying to be funny

What I enjoy is simple entertainment at it's best. The Tommy Mateland character is funny and to watch him converse with the judges with simple adult humor is delightful. I also think the contestants are very brave to know they are performing in front of a real audience and on TV for the folks at home. Some contestants are very talented and this could be the venue to show off their craft. I also enjoy the good old fashioned sing-a-long, not found in too many establishments today. People of all ages are in the audience and they seem to enjoy themselves without any scripting. No laugh tracks it's amazing. Keep up the good work.

A refreshing break from all the Reality, celebrity worship, big brother BS. Simple predictable slap stick comedy from the genius of "Tommy Maitland". Great mindless family entertainment. Super talented house band, awesome guest judges, snappy set. In fact, hack entertainer's like Mike Myers might want to pay attention, they could learn much from TM.

Pros: Very nice set. Mike Myers mostly manages to play his character convincingly. Contestants are entertaining and often surprise.Cons: There's more focus on our zany host and judges than the contestants. The show winks at itself so much that contestants can come off as contrived.Overall Feel: A scripted wedding reception - without booze.Takeaway: The show doesn't know what it wants to be. The bigger idea they are after here would be better constructed as a Mike Myers variety talk show: Mike Myers would host as different character each show, some we know, some we don't, maybe he'd host it as himself on occasion and bring in some SNL friends.As The Gong Show currently stands, I'd like to ditch the judges in favor of audience approval and see how Austin Powers hosts it.
