World of Jenks (2010– )
6/10
Awesome Concept... Poor Execution
6 October 2010
First off, this seems like an interesting concept for a show. The basic premise of the show is that you go inside the life of a particular type of person (e.g. a homeless person, a rapper, a professional fighter, etc.), and you see how they really live their life.

The biggest problem with "World of Jenks" seems to be the fact that the show is only 30 minutes long. Because the documentaries are so short, I don't feel as if I'm fully delving into the world of the people that Andrew Jenks is filming. You get a few glimpses into their life, but you don't really learn anything earth-shattering about them. If the show were given a full hour slot, I think Andrew would get to go beyond scratching the surface, which is a shame because Andrew seems to have a very like-able personality.

In summary, it's a great concept for a show, but it was meant for a 1 hour slot as opposed to 30 minutes. Maybe MTV could shorten "Jersey Shore" to help "World of Jenks" have the time it needs.

Not worth the 20 bucks I spent on it.
8 January 2006
First off, let me just say I am not a family guy basher, I own the first 3 seasons on DVD and find the show hilarious. With that said, this movie was just horrible. I'm sorry but this wasn't worth blowing 1/8 of my paycheck over it. Only buy this movie if you are just a die hard family guy fan and must own every thing associated with the the franchise, and even then wait until the price drops to like 5 bucks, and even then I would hesitate on getting it.

There were only about 3-4 times throughout the whole movie that got a laugh out of me, but so much of the other comedic material presented just felt forced. The plot was pointless and I would consider this movie more of the creator Seth milking the franchise then making a masterpiece.

I only ask that if there is someone out there that has no idea why there is such a huge following of the show Family Guy and wants to find out why, don't watch this movie, because it doesn't give the show any justice and is a black mark on the franchise.
