Some Assembly Required Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
sunisfun-99372 O.M.G what a STUPID show!!! I agree it looks totally fake and not the least bit funny. The fact that they try so hard to look dumb, like a bunch of hollow heads. I get acting like you don't know some things can be funny. But it's way over the top on this show. I can't believe it made it past season one.
Martin Roach Sorry I hate to be cruel but I couldn't help myself and this show really is scraping the bottom of the barrel so hard that the bottom of the barrel is wearing away. "Some Assembly Required" is truly a terrible TV watching experience and in my opinion it fails badly on every level.The writing is absolutely atrocious with fake and hackneyed dialogue and jokes that literally make me cringe time and again. You can usually tell exactly what the joke is going to be and basically get buried under an avalanche of terrible punch lines and then an over the top, desperate laugh track.The acting is also terrible. I know these are just children, or teens playing children and young adults playing teens, but they're just not very good. Every single cast member misses the mark. Of course this isn't entirely their fault... like I said the writing is terrible and the casting department really missed the mark here as well.The effects are also complete rubbish. I mean, every single thing about this show is just cheap and bad. I can't believe this lasted more than one season, or that it even made it on the air at all. Spectacularly bad TV.
qwerty-86331 The show was obviously written by a bunch of monkeys. The jokes are dirty and make no sense whatsoever. All the characters in the show are all stupid and are completely oblivious to their surroundings. The humor is dry and does not have high ratings. It's obvious the makers of this show were trying to rope in a quick buck. It's not a funny show and should not air. Take your chances and watch something better or perhaps instead of watching this maybe you should go have a root canal instead. It's better than watching this garbage. If I were to rate this show, I would probably give it a 1. What I mean by all the characters are stupid, THERE ALL STUPID! No clue in the world whatsoever on how to do things
divyanka At first, I really disliked this show. It was very dull and boring, and definitely did not make any use of its potential. But now, the show can be funny if the viewer engages with the characters. After getting used to the various characters and their diverse personalities, the viewer can find some entertainment and humour in the episodes. Even then, however, this is a pretty bleak show. The story plot, which is about an entire toy company run by young teenagers, gives the sitcom a lot of potential, but the show fails to make use of this potential. Unlike other shows, which have one or two dim-witted characters, majority of this show's characters seem to be goofy and dumb. It is not always funny for characters to come up and say something that makes no sense, which is something that happens frequently throughout every episode. This show is good and bad at the same time. The characters do not do justice to the storyline and ability of this show. Another very sad element - the show has a strong female character, and ironically, aims a whole load of sexism at her. Perhaps this is intended for humour, but I do not find it to be funny at all. It really defeats the purpose to show a strong character and then downplay all of that with sexist crap. People should stop bullying Piper and insulting her for being, apparently, not 'girl-like'. Gender is a social construction and I would like for shows to not enforce these stereotypes.*6.5
