Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

jennyrowell999 I wasn't expecting to love this show, but it had everything: Easy to watch, grown-up jokes and content, likable characters with different quirks but believable personalities and most importantly it was both funny and realistic! Another great feature of it was that everybody in their teens to their 40's could relate to at least one or two of the characters and their situation.So now I've got to the end...and cannot understand why there's no second season. It still has lots of writing promise and even my husband and brother-in-law laughed at the jokes (one of them never even laughed at Friends!) A light-hearted, funny, feel-good, show that wasn't crap. We need more of this. Please bring it back!

SnoopyStyle Bobby (Kevin Connolly) and Andi (Majandra Delfino) are the comfortable couple with the baby. Kate (Zoe Lister Jones) is the hopelessly single girl. Jules (Brooklyn Decker) is hot and quickly gets engaged to healthy eatery owner Lowell (Rick Donald). Will (James Van Der Beek) is just getting a divorce not used to the single life.The cast is mostly good. I love ZLJ's single girl persona. I like Connolly in Entourage. I haven't seen Majandra since long ago on Roswell. I like them together although I think they could be more inappropriate. Brooklyn Decker is surprisingly good for a model-turn-actor. Rick Donald is odd and doesn't seem to fit. He's the squeaky wheel. And James Van Der Beek is James Van Der Beek.The Friends comparison is very unfortunate. It's probably a death nail for the show. The title is horribly clunky. It's suppose to mean that everybody thinks their friends have better lives. I don't know why that's funny. And that's not really what's going on in the show. It got canceled 5 episodes in and really didn't have much of a chance.

lgratliff-975-870900 I can't believe they air this show during prime time hours. I think it's disgusting. Women kissing women... a woman having an orgasm while eating a cheese burger! Really, I've never know of any woman having Sex with a burger! This is one show I hope goes off the air fast.It's not fit to watch. There are many more tasteful shows for families. It's just sad producers think people want to see this TRASH! It's sad you can't sit down and watch a movie with your kids without having to turn it quickly. The show isn't funny at all, just tasteless. There are enough problems in the world without you putting this show on the air ! My family does not support Gay and Lesbians shows. I

abhinnkhanna Beyond The Pilot : Friends With Better Lives The show Friends with Better Lives premiered just after the season finale of How I Met Your Mother. The show revolves around six 30 something friends each of whom think that the other has it better. The show revolves around Bobby and Jules – the married couple with a child, Will – a divorcée, Kate – a single woman who has not been able to find the right person yet and Andi and Lawll who just got engaged.The pilot of the show showed more of Bobby, Will and Kate than the other cast thus it relied on the comedic timing of Kevin Connolly (Bobby), James Van Der Beek (Will) and Zoe Lister Jones (Kate) and they never missed a beat to entertain us and make us laugh. Kevin Connolly of Entourage fame was spot on in his dialogues and delivered them with excellence. The pilot belonged to Zoe Lister Jones (Kate) who was the highlight of the episode and would be the one person this show could revolve around on. The show needs to have more character development in the next few episodes for us to relate and care for them. Sitcoms do not usually garner a positive response in their pilots because of the sheer disability of the people to understand the characters and jokes. The basic problem with this show was the sky high expectations people had going in to view the pilot which was because of the way it has been marketed - from the makers of Friends and using the tag lines of Friends and How I Met Your Mother which resulted in low ratings. FWBL could overcome the familiar storyline and plot which they are on and could be something special if the group solidifies and strengthens into a strong dynamic. The actors especially Zoe Lister Jones and Van Der Beek certainly have the ability to do that. Watch it as an independent comedy not drawing comparisons to any of the classics and you will not be disappointed. CBS has not been successful with their new shows but FWBL with some excellent writing not going for the obvious jokes and gags could be the next big thing.
