Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Steineded How sad is this?
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
sgodrich Mike and Molly are two members of 'Overeaters Anonymous' who met, dated and fell in love. Mike is a police officer and Molly is a fourth grade teacher and the show centres around their families and work lives.Mike's family consists of his battle axe of a mother who loves her boy and resents having to share Mike's affections with Molly. Molly's family are her alcoholic mother and drugged up sister. Despite the negative connotations of those labels, they are lovely people but Molly has to be the adult in the family.We also get to meet and enjoy Mike's partner's family (Carl and his Nana). Nana both adores Carl but is cuttingly harsh with him too and had me in hysterics every time she appeared.The stories are light and generally with an emotional touch included. The families, jobs and general situations are enjoyable to watch and give you another glimpse into the lives of this lovely couple.I'll warn you (spoiler alert) that Season 4 starts with Molly deciding to quit teaching to become a writer and her personality goes of on a tangent for 5 or 6 episodes. Combine this with the new (and not as good) opening credit sequence and you start to feel that there have been too many executive changes and they have spoilt a winning formula to gain a few digits in viewing figures. (This strategy almost always fails, why they do it I have no idea!) My advice is to stick with it, the Molly we all know and love will come back although there are plenty of 'stupid moments' that seem to be a forced change to Molly's personality. Not a disaster but a touch annoying.To finish, I will say I was disappointed to learn the show was cancelled but I'll advise you to keep watching because there is an ending of sorts. I won't spoil it but it's both a great place to leave them but also leaves you wanting more. I clicked the show off after the last episode (Watch for Chuck Lorre's story card at the end for a nice message) and felt a sadness in my heart knowing I laughed, I cried (well, nearly) and that there are no more Mike and Molly episodes to enjoy.Watch it, if you're not hooked on a show with real people having real lives after 6 episodes, you never will be!
studioAT This is a nice enough sitcom, from Chuck Lorre Productions, so you instantly know what to expect.In its two leads, Mellissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell you have two unconventional and likable leads, who carry the show. They are real and identifiable characters who are a breath of fresh air on TV these days, and the two actors have excellent chemistry.Unfortunately they are backed up by a very generic supporting cast, who seem to be playing stereotypes rather real characters. The smart talking best friend, the old biddy, the drugged up sister. We've seen it all done before - and better.
Jan Willem Wilkens The problem with most shows about married couples is that these couples bicker so much. And it is hard to believe that they are actually a couple. The King of Queens was very funny. But never for one moment did I see the two leads as partners with romantic feelings for each other. Let alone have such a history together. With this show that problem does not occur. Yes, they argue like normal people do. But the verbal fights are mostly done with the supporting characters: parents, colleagues, friends. That works very well. The dialogue is sometimes hilarious, especially when Mike and his police partner are in the car or visiting the restaurant.
deshan-78580 Before I start this review, I may let you guys know that this review might contain a few spoiler alerts, viewer discretion is advised.Mike & Molly is an American sitcom starring Billy Gardell & Melissa McCarthy. It first debuted in fall of 2010 on CBS. The basic plot of this is about a police officer Mike (Billy Gardell) and a elementary school teacher Molly (Melissa McCarthy) have met each other one time at a local coffee shop, then as the show progresses, two of them are actually trying to get together as a happy couple. Now let's see if I would recommend this show or not. Pros: - Good concept & presentation - Well-developed characters Cons: - Bad acting - Bad writing - Horrible humor - Unnecessary laugh track Overall, I'll give this show a big fat 3 out of 10 (Bad/Not Very Enjoyable). Too bad, this show has a nice potential, but in the end of the day, it became a boring & tedious show. If you want a good modern sitcom, try watching The Big Bang Theory, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, or Mom. Do not watch Mike & Molly unless you're a big fan of Melissa McCarthy.
