Movie Reviews of Point Pleasant - The Complete Series
Movie Review: Fox pulls the plug on yet another great show.
Summary: 5 Stars
Following on the heels of Firefly and Wonderfalls, Point Pleasant joins the ranks of great shows cancelled by Fox before it had a chance to find its audience. The story centers around Christina Nickson(Elisabeth Harnois), a girl who falls off a boat, is rescued and then taken in by the Kramer family in the town of Point Pleasant. But Christina's father isn't her real father, her real father is is in fact Satan himself while her mother is a human who she has never met. I starting watching this show because Dina Meyer was in it. I'm a fan of hers, in particular of her portryal of Oracle on "Birds of Prey"(another great show canceled too soon, this one by the WB, that's one show Fox doesn't get the blame for, and puts Dina as starring in two shows canceled prematurely). Dina plays Amber Hargrove, a hot single mom, and the town whore. On lesser shows that's all her character would remain, but as the series goes on she's not as one dimensional as she seems, another reason why Point Pleasant is a superior show. Relative newcomer Elisabeth Harnois is excellent as Christina. As the series opens, she appears to be a sweet innocent girl, but with a few flashes of darkness. With each episode her character gets a little bit darker, as the part of her that is her father fights for supremacy. You can't help but feel sympathy for Christina, you're cheering for her good side to win out. Elisabeth plays both sides of the coin so well. If the right opportunities present themself, she will be a breakout star in the next few years. Also must give high marks to Grant Show, who is the main villain in the series, Satan's right hand man who is there to encourage Christina's dark side. Harnois, Show, and Meyer are the top actors on the show, but the entire cast is capable. As other reviewers have noted, the series starts out much like a supernatural version of the O.C., but with each episode, it becomes more supernatural drama and less teen soap opera. Series cocreator Marti Noxon said the show found it's identity about halfway through, then Fox canceled it after episode 8 just when it was hitting its stride. What's even more unbelievable is they replaced it's timeslot with leftover episodes of Tru Calling, a vastly inferior show that Fox had already decided to cancel. After buying the DVD, I watched all 13 episodes in four days. It gets better with each episode as it builds momentum. If you watched the eight episodes on TV, it is definitely worth buying the DVD to watch the last five. If you watched Point Pleasant and gave up on it before the eight episodes aired, get the DVD and pick up where you left, you won't regret it. And if you never watched Point Pleasant and are looking for a good supernatural drama, get it. Be warned, the series does not end with resolution, all the more reason there is more story to be told. A Point Pleasant TV movie or miniseries would be great. If that's ever to happen, the DVD sales will be a major factor. So all Point Pleasant fans should spread the word. Buy it as a gift, if you don't have it yourself yet, put it on your Christmas list. Point Pleasant should go on.
