The Edge Audience Reviews

ThiefHott Too much of everything
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
ShadeGrenade I got hooked on 'The Edge' when it was shown in a late night Saturday night slot on 'Sky One' round the mid-'90's. Partly because it was funny in a hit-and-miss sort of way, but also because I had the hots for its star - the red-haired, extrovert Julie Brown. Imagine Lucille Ball with a dirty mind and you've got her. The show was the creation of David Mirkin, the man behind 'The Simpsons'. Each episode commenced with a jazzy title sequence featuring photos of the cast dancing about like puppets and a catchy theme tune ( which they later stupidly changed ). The assembled cast would then greet viewers, and - in a running gag - would 'die' on screen, either by being shot or eaten by aliens.Many sketches were parodies of hit shows of the day, such as 'Beverly Hills 90210' and vicious impersonations of pop stars including Wilson Phillips and Madonna. There was Pythonesque animation from Bill Plympton, usually featuring an average-looking guy whose head keeps changing shape, and a spot called 'What ? Is Doing Right This Minute'. One of the best of the latter featured the very first monkey sent into space. It was found by aliens, who were so appalled by Man's cruelty to animals they destroyed the Earth out of revenge. We also saw ex-'Monkey' Davy Jones busking outside a zoo, and complaining: "I should have worked out a better royalty deal, shouldn't I?". Wayne Knight did a blinding take-off of horror author Stephen King, churning out manuscripts every few seconds. Another regular feature was a soap opera about a gun-obsessed American family. Julie also played 'Barb Douglas' of Minnesota, a plucky woman prepared to do the most awful jobs imaginable to supplement her husband's low income, such as porn chat lines and visiting women prisoners.Not many episodes were made ( 19 in all ), but it was good, post-pub viewing, and launched Jennifer Aniston on the road to stardom.
Andrew I was a lot younger when this was on, but I remember that I loved it at the time. The way that people's heads would explode, or a body part would get ripped off with lots of very fake-looking blood... I loved it. They did it without being morbid or excessively gory, it was just goofy and funny. The show was high-energy. I remember a skit about women's deodorant they did that still makes me laugh. Perhaps today, I would find it more predictable and juvenile, but I remember liking the over-the-top acting style that most of the cast had, playing skits with a lot of manic energy. As Forest Gump would say, that's all I have to say about that.
Mark N. "The Edge" was by far one of the best primetime comedies ever to be shown. In the spirit of "In Living Color" skits, "Saturday Night Live," and today's "MAD TV," The Edge included raunchy yet smart comic skits such as "The Armed Family," and other greats. It was a great show which unfortunately will never be seen again.
bato-2 Not bad, but it is really stupid, so please don´t expect too much from this TV series. Well, I guess that´s why they canceled it.Anyway, two or three actors got out from here, Jennifer Aniston and Wayne Knight, so enjoy watching them do something stupid.
