My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed watching this one. Fred Estair and Judy Garland were both great in their roles. I was a little surprised that the only thing this had to do with Easter is the beginning and ending where it was little more then mentioned that the Easter Parade was going on. I think the main reason I am surprised by it is because that is after all the title of the movie. Either way an enjoyable movie that I would recommend.

(Cover)

I desperately wanted to love this film. Guy Maddin is such a passionate, unique and wildly imaginative filmmaker that I'm more disappointed with myself than with him that I couldn't. But the eerie and often bizarre beauty of his black-and-white Super-8 images is distorted by such a frenetic editing style with jump zooms and cuts and a constantly jolting and twitching camera that it literally hurts to watch this and the latest Tony Scott appears like something by Bela Tarr in comparison. So sorry. :(

Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom


     Undeclared: The Complete Series (2001/United States)
IMDb | Wikipedia

Shout! Factory, Sony BMG Music Entertainment (United States)
Length:403 min.
Video:Full Frame 1.33:1
Audio:English: Dolby Digital 5.1, English: Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround, Commentary: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo, English: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo

Plot:
College life as seen through the eyes of Steven Karp, a freshman determined to reinvent himself at a new school. Faced with dilemmas as miserable as being "sexiled" to the rec room while roommates use the bedroom and as dire as confronting a girlfriend's jealous stalker-ex-boyfriend, Steven and his new friends tackle the challenges of higher education. Named one of Time magazine's top ten television shows of 2001 and praised for its "pitch perfect" casting, Undeclared is "one of the cum laude comedies of the new season . . . a sneaky funny hoot with endearingly offbeat characters." (Los Angeles Times)


Undeclared
Season 1.01 Prototype
Writer: Judd Apatow (Original Characters By), Judd Apatow (Writer)
Director: Jake Kasdan
Cast: Jay Baruchel (Steven Karp), Carla Gallo (Lizzie Exley), Charlie Hunnam (Lloyd Haythe), Monica Keena (Rachel Lindquist), Seth Rogen (Ron Garner), Timm Sharp (Marshall Nesbitt), Loudon Wainwright III (Hal Karp), Kevin Rankin (Lucien), Jarrett Grode (Perry), Simon Helberg (Jack), Jenna Fischer (Sorority Girl), Mandy Freund (Red-Headed Woman), Jennifer Shon (Pretty Girl), Tom Welling (Tom), Leroy Adams (Football Player), Alex Breckenridge (Prim and Proper Girl), Lizzy Caplan (Beautiful Girl), Jason Segel (Eric)

This series is made by the same people that made Freaks & Geeks. This time, instead of high school, it plays at a university. And it is not an hour drama, but half-hour comedy. Familiar faces from Freaks & Geeks so far are Seth Rogen and Jason Segel. Like Freaks & Geeks it only lasted one season.
I enjoyed this pilot episode.
There was a small cameo by Tom Welling. It must have been around the time he started his work on Smallville.
