I like While You Were Out. I like it more than I ever liked Trading Spaces, What Not to Wear, and any other reality show or show in general on TLC.

It's better for a number of reasons. Some of them being that it focuses on one room for the entire show, the host whether it's Evan or Theresa, the carpenters, mainly Andrew and Leslie, and the fact that its a surprise for a loved person.

I think that the dry humor, the banter, the interaction with the home-owner, the end result, the prizes, and goofing around is just plain fun television. The innovative designs are a far cry from the cheap looking designs on Trading Spaces. Everything about the show is what makes reality home improvement shows some of the best television that is out right now.

This film was not advertised as much as I think it should have been here in the states.

A friend of mine had seen it and said it was awesome, but wouldn't explain it in great detail because he really pushed me to go see it myself. Well, it wasn't made with the biggest budget or the most experienced cast and I think that is what it work. The whole film in general just felt extremely real. Everything about it, the virus, the activists, the soldiers, the emotions, the setting, the shocking revelation near the end and above all the hope.

Not everyone will get this movie, and maybe that is for the best. I think it was a great achievement and though it won't make the world listen to reason or control the extremes of human nature, it will make you want to watch it more than once, or twenty times for that matter.
