Review | |
| re:View | comment |
Review (sometimes known as Review with Forrest MacNeil) was an American television mockumentary series that ran for three seasons (2014–17) on Comedy Central, adapted from the Australian series Review with Myles Barlow and starring Andy Daly (who'd previously appeared in Eastbound & Down, Comedy Bang! Bang!, Delocated, and other shows). The show is ostensibly a parody of Reality Television, with the host, Forrest MacNeil, rating various life experiences suggested by "viewers." Experiences rated by Forrest include quitting a job, going into space, getting addicted to drugs, and being a racist.Despite the comical and absurd nature of the activities, Forrest takes his job very seriously, going to great lengths in order to properly rate the experiences. Forrest's total commitment to his job takes a toll on his family and co-workers, particularly his wife. The show features a great deal of callbacks and brick jokes, and much of the plot and humor derive from Forrest's life outside of the show.The show received positive reviews from outlets such as the Onion AV Club and Uproxx (formerly Hitfix).For the RedLetterMedia show, go to re:View. Not to be confused with the trope Review. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong: Some reviews were destined to be bad from the start like divorce, but many that could have been enjoyable wind up being a terrible disaster. Let's see, there's Going to Prom, Sleeping With a Celebrity, Having a Best Friend, Going to Space, Joining the Mile High Club, Granting a Wish, Spending Time Alone on a Rowboat, Pillow Fights, and Having an Imaginary Friend. | |

Broke the Rating Scale: Played with throughout the series; Forrest rigidly sticks within the rating system no matter what, with the single exception of Divorce, about which he's too distraught to give a rating. A.J. on the other hand doesn't mind giving something six stars, or just choosing not to review it at all. | |

Kick the Dog: The people who ask Forrest to review things like divorce, addiction, theft, murder, getting kicked in the nuts, being struck by lightning, eating 30 pancakes, and other things that appear to serve no other purpose than to put Forrest through misery. When Forrest started a cult, he included a ritual confessing. The woman who admitted to running over a homeless man and leaving him to die counts as this, as does Forrest when he later blackmailed her into surrendering her life savings to him. | |

With a little manipulation from Grant, Forrest vetoes the review, causing Suzanne and Eric to leave town, never to be found by Forrest again. As if this weren't bad enough, Forrest's show is cancelled immediately after the decision.

At the finale, Suzanne makes a review request that has Forrest never review anything again. Forrest at first, prepares to leave the show forever and to go ahead and live, maybe with Suzanne. Unfortunately, he vetoes it after Grant convinces him that there is more reviews to be done. Worse, at the being pranked review, Grant reveals that Review has been cancelled and at the end of the prank review, Forrest is alone, nobody is at the studio and Suzanne has moved. | |

Shout-Out | |
| re:View / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Forrest regrets not having a safe word during "Falsely Accused". He desperately shouts "pineapple". Mrs. Greenfield's last words, "Die, monster, die!" could be a reference to the 1965 film Die, Monster, Die!, a movie about a man whose experiments have a profound negative effect on everyone close to him. | |

When someone wanted a review of "make your dreams come true" in an attempt to provide Forrest with a positive experience for a change, Forrest interpreted it as recording his dreams at night and attempting to recreate them. | |

Comically Missing the Point: Forrest does this very frequently. When asked to review "what's it like to sleep with your teacher?", Forrest instead reviews what it is like to sleep with that viewer's teacher. Later, Forrest is asked what it is like to make your dreams come true. Instead of pursuing any of his ambitions, Forrest attempts to recreate the bizarre happenings in his dreams each night. | |

Brick Joke: Forrest frequently picks up habits during his rating of life experiences that become relevant in later segments on the show. In the first episode, Forrest reviews stealing, leading him to continue to steal things throughout the episode during seemingly-unrelated segments. A.J. Gibbs asks who Willy Nilly is when Forrest uses the expression "willy nilly". Later in the episode, a review is suggested by William Nilly. | |
