I think some of the people reviewing forget the fact that this is FICTION. Who cares if it's not historically accurate? It's not a biopic. It's not a documentary. It's a fun, bubble gum musical with incredible talent. The music is beautiful and fun. The characters are zany and cheesy in the best way. I LOVE that it's tackling issues that maybe wouldn't have been tackled at the time. It's about girl power. It's about cultural diversity. It's a show about the underdogs fighting to be treated fairly. I wasn't sure during the first episode. But it just gets better and better every episode. I can't pick a favorite character because I love all of them! Nancy is especially hilarious. But Olivia has an INSANE voice. But Jane is so endearing and strong. And Cynthia so unapologetically herself. Fantatsic show for anyone who has ever felt like an outcast.

I can usually find SOMETHING I like about a film. But there is nothing I liked a out this. It's nothing but a series of shots of ceilings and walls and the occasional toy. There are a few lines of "dialogue" from horrible child actors and the occasional creepy voice. But nothing happens. Nothing happens at all for an hour and 40 minutes. When you think something might happen...it doesn't. Many people are saying this fed on primal childhood fear, but I found nothing about it to be remotely scary. I just found it annoying. I kept looking at my watch and signing hoping it would just end. There is no character development whatsoever, so there's nothing to care about. It's just walls and darkness with occasional weird things happening. I never thought I could hate a movie as much as I hate this. My biggest issue with so many films coming out is the fact that so many are filmed so dark that you can't see anything. This takes that trend and magnifies it. The majority of the audience walked out of the theater I was in. I wish I would have. I could lay in bed and stare at the corner of my ceiling in the dark and get more than I got out of this film.

This reminded me very much of that video they have to watch in The Ring...but with less visuals and plot. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna die in 7 days.
