Steineded How sad is this?
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
elshikh4 I'm not a stupid person. Or maybe I am for watching this show and writing about it ! But let me tell you, the strangest thing happened while watching it. Believe it or not, I was predicting all the lines before saying them, preceding the cast 2 seconds earlier. Maybe I'm a psychic? Or maybe I just watched too many easy shows!! In fact I can predict everything in here. This is completely tacky. The characters are so not new. The houses of the American sitcoms are the same houses in the American sitcoms since the past 50 years. The storytelling is deadly the same, as if we have lame minds, or no minds at all. Now this show got me admiring another 2 sitcoms I do hate. One is (Grounded for Life) simply because it had a flashback technique to narrate. And the other (Everybody Hates Chris) for using a voice-over. I want to ask the laughing audience how do you sleep at night? With shows like this the recurrent, outrageously fake, laughing makes me feel how this is an indirect nasty propaganda for lying ! Yes, it is like so exposed subliminal message to transform you into a perfect idiot who lies on himself, saying all the time as a robot "this is funny, this is good" while it's obviously NOT (and they said that only the communist nations used media to brainwash their people ?!, well, at least communism is gone, but not these systems !). Save the cute (Alexa Vega) the cast is what hell will be in the other life. (David Cassidy) ??? What ever happened to his face? This is freaky. He looks like someone wearing a Halloween mask for all the time. The rest is killing me. The worst thing I can say about them is that they all look like creatures came from usual foolish sitcom (How Horrible !!). I wanted something NOT TRITE, to find a factor, rather an antique shop, for all the sitcoms' triteness. Finally, I'm pretty sure that stupidity will never stop. Soon we'll have a next sitcom by the title of (Dick and the Asses), and maybe it'll be about a guy named (Dick) who suffers from many "dumb" friends who do nothing but watching American sitcoms.P.S : can I wish from god to have a sitcom where the door of the house is on the right side of the screen, not the left. Just to feel a change !
dramaqueen8981 I love this show! It is simple yet entertaining. If you like the Cassidy Family then this show may be interesting to you. The first couple of episodes were a little slow but it has significantly picked up. I enjoyed and it and like most books and shows sometimes you have to watch it to get into it. Give it a chance you might be surprised. It deals with a unique family. A family in which the biological father and the uncle both act as parental figures. Sometimes the hardest and funniest things in life are portrayed in films as stupid or choppy. This show makes it work. As i said earlier give it a shot. Do not give up on it in the first episode
ldavis-2 Wasted a half-hour of my life last night on this "comedy". As if the whole premise wasn't bad enough, the set-up was awful. This girl shows up, and informs the has-been pop star that she's his kid, and he just accepts it! Not only accepts it, but dumps the kid on the brother he has been feuding with for the last 20 years, who also accepts her! Makes sense to me, too!The hook is that the brothers were a big Wham!-like pop act 20 years ago. Their "video" has them don these silly wigs and lip-sync to this retched song while a girl (now married to one of the brothers) does her best Tawny Kitaen. The "video" is so lame, they don't even bother to make the brothers and the girl look 20 years younger! The brother who gets dumped on, now pushing SUVs, longs for the good old days, while his son (a graduate of The I'm SO Hot School of Acting) wants to be Kurt Cobain when he grows up. And naturally, Ruby, who can't carry a tune, has delusions of musical greatness.David ought to be ashamed for whoring out a sorry episode of his life. And Shaun -- I just want to kick myself for having the biggest crush on you! You're not only a sell-out, you're a hack! And you weren't even that good of a singer!
thuernman I just watched the pilot of this so-called show, and that was the worst 23 minutes of this year this far. The terrible, lousy actors are actually better at their jobs than the people adding the fake laughs. Every single line of dialogue is followed by laugh-in-a-box, no matter what is being said.It has a shallow plot about a teenage girl meeting her father for the first time, and sadly that is the smallest cliché in this show.I could go on and on rambling about the lousiness of this program, but I'll just leave you with an advice: Do not waste your time.Seriously.
