Couldn't even Get the real family to act

I had totally forbotten all about this family until i noticed this show and said i might waste a bit laughing.. i didnt.. i got depressed. The cut away of Alana voicing over is desperate.. especially the facial expression and "the goo goo juice eyeballs" are still there.Just another money grab, as they explained the whole way thru the show, every moment was a money grabbing moment for Mama June.. So did she do this doc for free.. she did in her fifteen chins... The actors and actresses bless their cotton socks did a fantastic job show how shallow they were and.. what wa with the constant LENS FLARE BLOOM EFFECT... 9 outa 10 for the scares every time that Behemoth spoke.. 1 out of ten for interest or whatever.

Awful, Fake, One-Sided.

This whole thing felt SO forced and contrived. Obviously a daughter is mad at her Mother (and sometimes for good reason). BUT this is nearly unwatchable and you can tell they filmed it and then needed Alanna to come in a explain "missing pieces".....but she adds "too much" attitude and one sided nonsense to this tale. They ALL were ignorant, naive, and stupid. Lastly, the jump for 6 year old skinny Alanna (who never existed) to 15 year old obese Alanna was JARRING. They need another actress BADLY for the middle years. Pumpkin telling a 6 year old about her sister being molested was shocking. Then 30 seconds later 14 year old Alanna can't take care of herself and "needs food" and us "babysat" by a tablet. OKAY. Nope. This whole thing was awful and unwatchable.

There Was Only One Boo Boo Here

"I Was Honey Boo Boo" is a story of remorse -- for the viewers. It reminds me of Shakespeare, in that it was an epic human tragedy to make in the first place. If you really think about it, who is actually being exploited here?Yes, the attempts to make some of the characters more sympathetic does break some ground, but I think that description would apply equally to a new landfill. As Alana and her family (mother especially) descend into Dante's "Inferno", it made me think of the usefulness of dumpster fires.Perhaps it would be more interesting to watch, if you play "Boo Boo Shots" while viewing: every time "Boo Boo" is spoken, everyone has to take a shot -- perhaps of "Boo-berry" liqueur (hope your livers are strong!) And keep your barf bags handy, as sugar bears, pumpkins and other cutesy names litter the project like a saccharine sewer.While it may seem a challenge as to improving this movie, maybe there could have been a "Alana Honey Boo Boo Thompson v. JonBenét Ramsey Cage Match" segment (c'mon AI, THIS is what you are for!) And why wasn't someone like Roseanne cast for the role of Mama June?Well, if you were looking for at least one redeeming moment in the denouement, it was that this horrorshow actually did have to come to an end after more than two hours of torture.Toss this one into the disposal while you can.
