    Icy-dry satire laced with moments of farce and inspired lunacy.

    This loose, wry sitcom makes a crackling love connection.

    "Lovespring International" is a lively little cable exercise in over-the-top characters, bad taste, satire, and political incorrectness.

    It's all sort of cartoonish and, for better or worse, the characters rarely rise above it.

    A brave and breezy (though slightly uneven) series that is well-cast but not always well-plotted.

    "Lovespring" could benefit from stronger plots with less ludicrous conclusions.

    The cast is strong... But the characters come off as icky, wretched backstabbers.

    "Lovespring International" goes for the obvious gags and seems to find itself a lot cuter than most viewers are apt to.

    I love this show. I don't want to think about why something is funny, I just want to laugh. The actors fill the characters of well, I think they are having fun with the show too. So glad to have something other than the so called realiy programs. I just would like to see it come on at an earlier time.… Full Review »

    I find the tv show, LOVESPRING INTERNATIONAL, hilarious and impressively well-acted. I love the characters, a tad caricaturish but really wholesomely refreshing, occasionally outlandish, and yes, pleasantly surprising many, many times. Each actor/actress comes with his/her blend of unique flavor to the ensemble and I am sure that this will certainly catch on soon. In fact, I find the 30 minute-shows somewhat limited; I would like to watch it in a one-hour show and have a more on the edge portrayals of the characters in more twisted twisting of plots. There are infinite materials to steal from our contemporary lives, and the ensemble appears they can stretch themselves further beyong their current range for their own pleasure and for the audience. The ensemble award may not be too far behind!!!… Full Review »
