Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

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.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

bellab1972 These so called reality shows are becoming a menace on TV! I can't believe how many "reality shows" are being produced! Yes, I can, they are cheap, easy to make and idiots watch them! If anyone believes that any of these reality shows are a snapshot of real life then they are idiots! I believe that these shows are detrimental to the younger generation because there are impressionable youngsters that follow the kardashians and crap like this show and strive for a similar life which doesn't exist! This show is another example of scripted bullsh..t that pretends to be real life! Simmons should retire with dignity if that is possible for a self professed hoare that treats women like middle eastern scum! Shannon, or what ever her name is, is very inappropriate with her son! My god, I would never say do you want a little head as a joke to my son! Maybe the Botox and fillers have seeped into her brain! The script writers for this show should be ashamed along with the producers of crap like this! The only people who love this show are Kiss fans who don't care that the lead singer had to hide his face due to being so grotesque! Why do you think they hid their faces? He is awful and I wouldn't go near him! I bet he had to wear the makeup to pick up women because on looks and personality he would still be a virgin! I am sick of these shows and can't wait for quality programs to be produced but I am afraid that because simpletons are watching this crap the producers will continue to make poor quality programs! It is up to us, the public to wake up and stop the wave of so called reality programs if we want a selection of good programs!

barbieroy613 My brother was a huge fan of KISS in his teens so, by extension, I learned every song. I was curious when I saw there was a reality show with Gene Simmons, having only seen him a few times in other programs, without makeup. The show reveals a very endearing family and very genuine and likable Gene Simmons---not to mention a very sharp, savvy business man. I really liked seeing this collective family (although they call it an un-marriage) who is so committed to each other they understand the arts of compromise, compassion, support and just genuinely being good to one another. Even if you don't know much about KISS or Gene Simmons (actually, especially if you don't), this is an interesting and worthwhile watch.

Nick Damian Another letdown in television - which is why I don't really enjoy watching television shows.Bad movies I can forgive - even the totally horrible ones, but television I can't...especially the so-called "reality" shows.This is so far fetched, it's horrible. It's beyond horrible.What is so good about this that it has a second or third season? Nothing! The guy is a self centred, pompous, ignorant DICK.He makes everybody who is not his family seem to be his subordinates and his personal beating ground.Maybe it's written this way and maybe even this part may be real - however - it is pretty sad to see on every show. It is sad to see how he degrades people for either amusement or his self pride, which appears to be over-hyped.While KISS may have been a big band in the 70's and early 80's and even to some degree - awesome; in 2009 they are faded like well worn jeans.He has no sparkle, he has no charm, his intelligence is below average and his family supports him with high praise for it.In the episodes I've watched, all he does is seem to gloat about how big and special he is. Really he's not.For him to walk around town in a carefree manner and not show dignity to fellow people who ask him for autographs when he is stranded in a desert or to ignore them when they stop him on the street and wave - is direful to wathc and also mundane.To see atrocious "real" events where the family loses or damages his KISS artifacts and souvenirs and then to have to shop around the LA area to get them back was just retarded. If they didn't replace them, GENE would be upset. WHAT CROCK! Gene's car breaks down on the highway and he needs a lift into town...but yet even with a camera crew beside him, cars pass him by and he has to walk. BULL! Then he gets into town and with camera crew in tow, he can not get a ride to Vegas or use a phone...yeah, whatever. Nobody wants to help him - the poor soul.Then his son goes to a hotel and has to rent a room and sleep with all his band mates in a single bed...even though the rest of the motel rooms are close to empty. (maybe they ran out of money...oh have pity on them.) Not only that, but after the first night staying in the motel, their van is broken into and all their gear stolen - while being parked outside their room!!! Unbelievable? No - it's true....really! There was a camera crew to film it all - and in such a small town also - where there is nobody around. Where crime is next to zero...in a van which has almost no windows; there's was the only van vandalized and property stolen! Yeah - really!!! To me, the show comes off as a hyped up, pshycotic episodes of ignorant, callus, self indulgent, greedy shallow people who have nothing better to do than fuel up Gene's ageing ego with flattery and Shannon's failing beauty.She used to be hot and like every other female and male model and non-model, loses her looks as she's priming on - however we are not able to forget that she was a centrefold - because it's borough up in every episode, every few minutes - just in case we forget it.Well she wasn't hot then and she's a mess now.All the makeup and hair-dye will not cover it.Comparable to THE OSBOURNES, this is even worse.Yep, Gene's got some cash and he loves to flash it around and let us know and by creating this sad product, we are sadly giving him even more.

zstanman-1 Gene Simmons Family Jewels is touted as a "reality" show about Gene Simmons of Kiss, along with his girl friend Shannon Tweed and their two kids Nick (still living with mommy and daddy but really girls, I'm cool) and Sophie who seems like a true gem. It's sad that we've become so gullible that we'll believe something is "real" just because the TV tells us it is. The show is scripted and the situations in which Gene finds himself rival "I Love Lucy". This show started off great but the need to top itself constantly with idiotic situations more ridiculous than the last gets very old. Whose reality? It certainly is not the reality of the Simmons family and it is not remotely close to the reality of any other family. I would be happy watching the actual reality of this family, not the script someone came up with. Gene, when you use actors as police officers to arrest you, at least find a real cop to supervise so that your actor doesn't tell "dispatch" he has a "211" (which is robbery) when you are talking to "prostitutes".
