You Don't Know Jack Audience Reviews

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
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.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
christoperj It simply tried too hard to be funny -- and ended up nothing like the video game that started it all. It was a shame, because there was a lot of hope for this thing when the previews came out. . . but after the first couple of episodes -- there was just no point in watching
Rattrap007 I'm a huge fan of the PC game, so I was really excited about seeing a TV version of it. It captures all the fun and humor of the PC game and wraps it up into a great show.Lots of funny things happen on this show. They have a $2,000,000 question, but the dollar amount decreases as the question is being read. they always find some funny way of making it dwindle down to less than $1000. Once they had it fly loose over the stage with Troy (Paul Rubens) the host running after it. Once he couldn't read it so he pulls out a magnifying glass that causes the card to catch fire.Also they have a match/pop culture question each show. The contestants have to answer questions like number of Backstreet boys X number of points of light in G. Bush Sr.'s presidental speech -number of Police academy movies / # of oscars won by Weekend at Burnies. While the contestants are trying to figure out the question they bring out something to distract them like a marching band playing music right behind them. Once they had violin playing kids who were just plain awful to listen to.While some shows give away a cheesy parting gift (Rice-A-roni, home game, etc) YDKJ gives away truly lame prizes such as a Yo-Yo, a 4 pack of Pineapple tidbits, or a years supply of gum!I won't forget the start of the first episode. Troy comes out and says someone will be driving home in a brand new car! They show the car and play the game. At the very end on the episode, Troy drive up to the camera in the car and says, "See. I told you someone would be driving this car home tonight."I have watched every episode of this show so far and I don't plan on stopping! Keep up the great work.
Brandon Hall It's good to see Paul Reubens back on television with this very hilarious comedic game/variety show. It stars Paul Reubens as we all remember as Pee-Wee Herman. My favorite part of this show is the $2,000,000 question, every second that goes by the dollar value drops, something always distracts our hose Troy Stevens, brilliantly played by Paul Reubens. It comes on ABC Wednesday nights and it's worth checking it out! I give it a 10 out of 10!!
peeweehoglie This game show is the funniest game show I ever watched. The questions are funny, the $2,000,000 question is hilarious and the Jack Attack is also funny. If you don't like watching very funny game shows, then You Don't Know Jack!
