Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Ruby Rochelle Is it funny? sure, if you have never watched the office. I just cannot get over that it is literally a direct rip-off. I even researched it to see if it was a spoof of the office or had the same writers or something this is insane. In a bad way. I'm actually so distracted by it. I have not watched the original British version of the office but I have watched the American one you literally have everyone's character in there. Micheal Scott, Pam.... even the same premise where Micheal always confides in Pam even though she's not into it. The female boss is a total clone of Michael Scott. Jim is a total clone they even have the same Pam, Jim relationship. The baggage guys are the warehouse guys. In the first episode, you even have the same exchange as the boss goes to the baggage guys and pretends she's there all the time. The dwightish character, I mean at least they changed him up a bit. Ugh, the looking at the camera, the meetings, it's honestly too much. Would have been a good show if they had AT LEAST switched up the characters a bit. I just can't continue watching. I wonder what Ricky thinks about this!
reglisse_masse Great acting, chemistry between actors/characters, and hilarious lines. Had me laughing out loud sometimes. Really wish I had more of this show to watch. I will recommend it to fans of The Office, it has that awkwardness and line delivery moments and feel to it, without being as cheesy. Great comedy.
graphicsdog I like mockumentaries. I like The Office. I watched all the episodes of Borderline and was mildly amused occasionally, but It just doesn't work. They are trying way to hard to be The Office (USA). Similar characters and relationships. There is a sweet quirkiness about it and the acting is acceptable, but that can't overcome the serious flaws. First, the narration has to go as it adds nothing to the plot. Second, editing is horrible, jumping from situation to situation irregardless of the time line (which is probably why they thought the needed the narration). Finally, the writing is quite stunted and unimaginative. If the first episode does not intrigue you then be warned it doesn't get any better.
Khun Kru Mark Another horrible idea that tries (belatedly) to cash in on the success of the office... and doesn't. In fact, this one probably borders on copyright infringement!And again... another idea that could have been really funny with a rich vein of possible classic situations and gags but is instead content to rip off The Office everywhere it can, assuming that because David Brent is a woman, the audience won't notice.The secret filming of the break-room is there, the office phone sound effects are there, the geeky guy is there, the macho warehouse staff (baggage handlers) are there, the childish office games are there, the on-camera confessionals are there...In one scene a drug smuggler openly and successfully tries to bribe a border guard ON CAMERA!Add to that the characters are simply too stupid to be likable and there's nothing left to tune in for. In fact, even the characters in the FAKE situation comedy "When the whistle blows!", also by Ricky Gervais, are better fleshed out and more likable than this cast of infantile twits.About the only bright spot is the appeal of actress Liz Kingsman whose character in this stinker is buried in this imitation comedy. Simply put, this is just horrible.The final line of dialog sums up how I feel about this! ;)
