    if you remember that these actors are making things up as they go, you really can't help but crack up and marvel at their wit. the storylines could be stronger, but it's still a laugh-riot. way to go lifetime.

    I love it!, I'm a fan of Wii & Grace so I knew that the show would be great. I especially like the receiptionist...she's a hoot.

    Freakin hilarious if you like dry humour and improv'd dialogue. For all the sad Arrested fans out there, this may be a welcome salve.

    Put "The Office" on Lifetime, and you get "Lovespring International". Not very original and not very funny.

    The idea of having a show based on a dating service for the less "appealing" is too funny. The entire cast is so uniquely clever and funny. I can not stop watching it. I just love Alex he is too cute.

    I find myself laughing out loud the next day thinking about the episode the night before. Not packed with laughs, but there have been some absolute gems. A very pleasant show to watch, since none of the characters deserve to be cared about. A wonderful show.

    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.

    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!!!… Expand

    This show is somewhat intriguing and funny with decent acting, however not terribly original.

    I was totally bored. The jokes fell flat. Had potential, like the idea but it just wasn't funny.

    Trying too hard, not funny. Icky, unappealing, non-endearing characters provide indigestion. Sound quality is clausterphobic soundstage. Potentially funny lunacy becomes unfunny bad taste. Even Eric McCormack, cute as Will, comes off as icky, if that is possible.

    Lots of potential here, the receptionist, Jennifer Elise Cox, is sublime. Delivery is fantastic. The other characters have promise, would benefit with more clientele to decrease the "set" feeling of the show. Hope it lasts, jj

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

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

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