Movie Reviews of The Riches - Season 1
Movie Review: Great show!
Summary: 5 Stars
It was actually Minnie Driver who attracted me to this show. I always liked but, never loved her. This show has made me realize how amazing a talent she is. If I didn't know she were an actor from the UK, I would fully think that she had been born in Alabama, Georgia or Mississippi her accent is that believable.
She, like the rest of the cast, are perfectly cast in their roles. They all(Eddie Izzard, Shannon Woodward, Noel Fisher and Aiden Mitchell) tow the very fine line of family/liars in a perfect way. Plus I love the way the show adds the realism of "believing the lie" and its toll on the family.
An extremely well conceived, written and acted show. I hope it gets the recognition and viewership it deserves!
Movie Review: Original and Enchanting
Summary: 5 Stars
The Riches is one of the most original series ever with characters who are complex and intriguing. Each episode holds you captive as Wayne (Eddie Izzard) and Dahlia Malloy (Minnie Driver) strive to impersonate the Rich family, an immense challenge with their lack of education and experience.
This is a series where you never know what is going to happen next or how Wayne is going keep it all together but the love that Wayne and Dahlia have for each other and their children always help them to find a way.
Izzard and Driver are simply eloquent. Noel Fisher (Cael), Shannon Marie Woodwood (DiDi) and Aidan Mitchel (Sam) are genuine in their roles as the three Malloy children.
I can't wait for this to come out on dvd!
Movie Review: Television's weirdest
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, I'm a guy who likes his television shows new and different, but even by my standards, The Riches is a strange show. Everything from the premise to the dialogue, even the odd accents and delivery of lines by Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver, is pretty bizarre. Every episode is full of WTF moments, as the story gets more and more wild. But behind the surreal surface of the show, there's something relatable. It gives us a poignant look at the ugly side of the American Dream, and it's got some powerful moments. It also balances humor with very dark drama in a really great way. I highly recommend the series to anyone who wants to experience a show that's truly unexpected and unlike anything else on TV.Movie Review: Interesting look at a little-known group
Summary: 5 Stars
The group in question is the Travelers--a band of con artists who have apparently been in the U.S. since the 19th century. This show offers a glimpse into their world, and how odd and sometimes difficult it is for them to try to live among the rest of us. Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver do some pretty decent American accents as the husband and wife posing as the Riches.
Complications ensue as they attempt to fill the deceased Riches' shoes, working, living, and going to school among the so-called Buffers (non Travelers). Never a dull moment, as they say.
Movie Review: One of the best TV shows of all time.
Summary: 5 Stars
First off let me say The Riches really is one of the best shows in TV history as far as I am concerned. It is fresh and original which is a rare these days. Eddie Izzard is a freakin' genius. Until now I have kept every episode on my Tivo and now I can just buy the DVD. Kudos also go to Minnie Driver for some of the best acting of her career. The story lines of The Riches have more twists and turns than a twisty turny thing.
A bargain at double the price. I can't wait.
