Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
johnhchappel I find the whole premise of this show distasteful and VERY implausible. I do not have a problem with older woman/younger man relationships, I prefer them myself. What I do find distasteful is that it is between a guys mother and his best friend and in the apartment that the friends share, it shows that they gave no consideration to the son/friend. All relationships affect other people and their feelings/relationships should at least be considered even if they are going to be discarded or ignored. I do not know about other people but I would not want to try to sleep each night knowing that my "best friend" is banging my mother in the next room. I would not be comfortable getting up in the morning and seeing my mother in her underwear at the breakfast table.My first reaction would be to move out of the apartment, if they want to have a relationship fine but it does not have to be thrust into the sons face every moment of the day. This type of situation would adversely affect the relationships of the son with both the "best friend" and mother. In fact I would no longer consider him my best friend. What is even more implausible is that any middle aged woman (especially a very beautiful & sexy one, ex Bay Watch babe) would even consider having a serious long term relationship with a man that behaves like a child and who's IQ probably does not even reach double digits. The only thing they could have in common is sex which is not enough to build a long lasting relationship on, trust me, I know from experience.This is indicative of some of the morals being espoused on US TV shows these days. Another example is Pretty Little Liars, 15yr old girl having a sexual relationship with her 20-something teacher, wrong and illegal on so many levels, not to mention that they meet in a bar and have sex within minutes in a dirty disgusting toilet (at least 2 laws broken right there, 15yr old in a bar & statutory rape/sex with a minor).
Nicole Underhill Campy good fun! What is it about this show? I think you have to be in your thirties-forties to appreciate the curve balls that life throw you and how you just have to laugh at them and make the best of it. The spunky redhead waitress is priceless. Something about the mom... I dunno, shes sexy and admirable? There's lots of eye candy with shirtless babes and six packs, but its witty good fun.50 YO mom falls for 26 YO sons best friend. They all know each other so well. The ex-husband to be is so full of himself you just have to laugh. Cute little episodes with real life problems and hilarity added. An easy watch that I keep finding myself hitting rewind when I miss something funny. Hope it sticks around! Give it a try if you like Modern Family you may dig it.
Aktham Tashtush So i'll give them that the idea is new and original and the comedy pops in some scenes but I literally yawned right in the middle of the pilot and in the second episode i started writing this review !!! i don't know exactly what it is but i think the element of "staying tuned in" is missing because i knew that i won't be laughing hilariously in most of the scenario so fast-forward not it doesn't really matter.So the sitcom looked okay , Richard Keith and Erin Cardillo are young writers and seem talented but i bet CW made something on the script (as they usually do) to make it appear less catchy if i might say.The casting is fine .. Nathaniel Buzolic acting naive and rational and the stressed closed in boss Josh Zuckerman and i liked the funny surprise appearances by Jonathan Silverman .. and yeah .. Krista Allen performance is awful .Overall , i do have a mixed feeling about this show ... the idea is new but still not convinced that it could be a continuing hit for CW .. i'll probably watch the next couple of episodes but if the rhythm stays as it is now i don'e think i'll bear keep on watching it.
hthbrr2 I am a comedy fan. Let's start out there. I am a fan of even the most screwball comedies. It's crazy, well who cares I laughed! BUT.....this show is crazy WITHOUT the laughs.It's about a very attractive 'older' woman dating a very sculpted torso. I mean the show showed so many $ex scenes I almost forgot it was a TV show and just some soft core p0rn my TV accidentally picked up. I'm sure if I take out the p0rn scenes there will only be a couple minutes of actual dialogue.That's the problem with modern TV go for the cheap shot/thrill/lowest common denominator. All I remember from the pilot was two people constantly getting it on. Then some guy in a restaurant or something....Again the show is implausible. Not just because the set up is bad, the acting is bad, the delivery is bad. But because a guy THIS young running his OWN restaurant in THIS economy? ?????? Umm.....yeah this show is on the CW for a reason. Might as well be labeled a fantasy.Which brings me to my next point. What the CW does is sell fantasies to people. Look at the Vampire Diaries, 90210, The Originals, Beauty and the Beast, etc.....ALL people are generally young attractive models. In real life there are ALL people existing in the world. Old, kids, disabled, various looks/races/weights/etc....This show skews so young, with it's vulgar content I am VERY concerned who the intended audience is. The people in the show all act like CHILDREN! Disturbing.....Anyways this show is so implausible that it makes no sense. Seems like more of an exercise in a drama class. Yeah, the acting is THAT bad. These people were CLEARLY casted for their looks not acting skills. The woman playing the 'older' woman is 44. MOST 44 year olds don't look like that. And not to be mean but most 20 something guys are chasing women of their own age or YOUNGER. HELL MOST MEN OF ANY AGE are chasing teen girls/20 yo women..... I really HATE how they make a TV show SO implausible. It creates a false sense of security for women. "Well in that show that 40 something woman got a young man so can I." Nope just in TV land sorry. Most divorced 40 something and older women are viewed as old washed up chopped liver. Very mean and WRONG. But these are the facts. And most 40 something men do get their teen girls and 20 something women or women much younger them themselves, why? Because they purchased them.....Only watch this show if you have no brain and/or like soft core p0rn. Not intended for intelligent people, people with common sense, or values.
