GamerTab That was an excellent one.
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
SanteeFats I can not figure out why this show only gets 5.7 from reviewers. I think this is one hilarious series. Steve Byrne is great as the son. He delivers his lines like he was still doing his comedy routine. He is really funny. The customers are really humorous. The insensitive white racist who doesn't seem to know he is being racist. There is a diverse mix of ethnicities that are regular customers. The give and take between these customers gets very funny. I love the mom with her cold, serious face she shows to the world but she does care for her family, possibly. I am waiting too see if they allow the relationship to develop between Steve and the EMT. It could enhance this series if done right.
jbarnes-10 How Sullivan and Son got out of the box and actually on the air is beyond me. With Shows like Modern Family, Raising Hope, The Big Bang Theory and The Middle (to name just a few)riding the wave these past few seasons, this low budget throw back is full of stereotypes, bad writing and no chemistry between the actors. Even the talents of Christine Ebersole (who I love) can't save the lame scripts. This show is just a bad rehash of Margaret Cho's "All American Girl" of 1994. It didn't last and Sullivan and Son won't either. The whole show feels like it was thrown together on the back of a wet napkin at a Hooter's. Every joke falls flat, the character of the mother is just a horrible Asian stereotype that is painful to watch. Ebersole seems to know she is already doomed and hopefully she is looking at other offers. The show breaks no new ground, and the assortment of one dimensional supporting characters reminds me of every failed sitcom I can't remember.
Charlie Roberts Nice ensemble . . . pleasant cast . . . nice characters . . . BUT . . . it's kind of tame/lame. Nice idea . . . just not all that funny. What's on next?Above is all I have to say.IMDb requires at least ten lines of . . . text . . . so, I'm typing this stuff to fill it out.Sorry to have to do this but . . . I have nothing more to say about this show.Is this enough?Apparently not . . . it only counted what I wrote as six lines.Well, the above . . . hopefully counted as seven.Here goes eight: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog . . . again.And, for the tenth time, the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog . . . who was . . . really lazy!!!!
vandyfan12 I've read a lot of reviews online that don't particularly like the show. It's been labeled as a generic, recycled version of "Cheers." I say...so what? Cheers was a good show. There's so much crap on TV these days, so it's nice to have a show that hearkens back to the old days. You might not fall out of your seat laughing at the jokes on this show, but they'll give you a good chuckle. The plot may be somewhat predictable, but it's still pretty entertaining.It's like my mom said a few weeks ago...you don't watch Dumb and Dumber to be intellectually stimulated, you don't go see Magic Mike for some life-changing revelation, and you don't watch Sullivan & Son and expect to be amazed. You watch all those to be entertained. And they are entertaining.At any rate, this show is a CRAP TON better than "Men at Work," TBS's other original sitcom.
