Movie Reviews of Jon & Kate Plus Ei8ht, Seasons One & TwoMovie Review: I Love the Gosselin Family! Summary: 5 Stars
Typically, I'm not very big on reality shows. Most of them are kinda [...], and over dramatized to designate specific stereotypes that the producers want to attract fans (The Hills, for example). However, Jon and Kate + 8 is original in the shows presentation that its a "what you see is what you get" type of production.
I first found out about this show from a coworker, who was telling me about this amazing family with Sextuplets and Twins. It definitely peeked my curiousity - I mean, after hearing that statement, could you not help but think "God Bless that family!". I think one child would be a challenge for me, I couldn't imagine having eight! So I checked my local listing and found that the show aired on TLC and set my DVR to record a mini-marathon (as they often have them on the weekends, in my area at least).
After watching the first couple of episodes, I was seriously amazed at how Kate and Jon handled everything. I also think that it was very brave of them to share their story with the world, as I know many people such as myself must be curious to see what goes on in the life of having two sets of multiples. Kate's super-organization (she so reminds me of myself!) and Jon's laid back attitude balance each other out perfectly.
Their children, Cara, Mady, Alexis, Leah, Hannah, Joel, Aidan, and Collin are too adorable! They each have their own little personalities so different from the next. I think it's so adorable how Hannah is mommy's "mini me" in that she wants to help with the housework all the time! She reminds me of my pseudo niece (not really related, but I'm an aunt to her), who has to do everything with you at all times, even cleaning and folding laundry. Aidan loves animals, and I agree with his parents that I could see him being a zoologist or a veterinarian when he grows up. And every time I see an Allegator now, I think of the Gosselin's daughter, Alexis and think "that's an Al-der-gater" as she calls them. I could go on about how adorable these kids are, but just see for yourself - watch the show/buy the dvds - you won't be let down :)
For those of you who do not know, Jon and Kate have an official [...] there you can view their scheduled appearances, as Jon and Kate often visit churches and communities around the world to share their story. I truly hope that someday I can attend one of these sessions, but being that I'm a college student starting Pharmacy School, unless they come near North Carolina, the chances of actually attending one for me is quite small.
Also, to all the fellow fans of the show, please buy this DVD set. You know the family gets proceeds from their book/DVD sales, that money can help them do things like fund their children's education. Contrary to popular belief, they are not "super rich", and sending 8 children through college is a huge expense (I know my tuition is $[...] a year for six years [Pharmacy School] --- that's $[...] in Tuition alone ---now multiply that times eight!). And by the time these kids get to college, you know that tuition will be significantly higher. I will be ordering my copy to have it shipped as soon as it comes out, anything to help this awesome family!
