Clevercell Very disappointing...

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

rhkruijswijk I truly do not understand all the bad reviews on here. I am not a good writer and never write reviews but I wanted to tell people this is actually a really good show! It's very different from other shows and it litarly touches on every taboo there is.. The family isn't perfect and everyone is pretty selfish, but I feel that is more because they are looking for themselves and their place in the world. When anyone does need them, they are all there for each other. I recognise this immensely in my family too. Everyone isn't perfect but when you need each other everyone is there for each other. I think it is a amazing raw betrayal of a real family. Please give this show a chance!! I think it is my favourite show at the moment.... !!

swilliky The Pfeffermans head to Israel in this delightful fourth season of the powerful Amazon comedy series. Maura Pfefferman (Jeffrey Tambor) is invited to lecture in Tel Aviv on Judaism and gender. When Ali (Gaby Hoffmann) learns that her professor with whom she had a relationship has written and published an embarrassing poem, she decides to tag along with Maura. They head out to Israel having trouble in the airport when security can't decide which gender of TSA agent should search her. The family gathers in the first episode and it is chaotic. Shelly (Judith Light) explores improv and develops a new character that gives her strength and confidence. Sarah (Amy Landecker) explores her sexuality with her ex-husband Len Novak (Rob Huebel) and a woman she meets in a sex addicts group, Lila (Alia Shawkat).Josh Pfefferman (Jay Duplass) copes with visions of the older woman who took advantage of him when he was younger and also attends the sex addict meetings as well. As Maura lectures, she keeps hearing about another Pfefferman who had a catchy advertisement years ago for air-conditioning. The "cool guy" turns out to be Maura's father Moshe (Jerry Adler) who abandoned them when they were young and went to Israel. Ali has garnered fame for her internet video of Maura at the airport and falls in with a group of protesters who are trying to make a difference in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She returns to help Maura approach Moshe who has become wealthy off of his air-conditioning business.Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com

starbird I have really enjoyed this show except for one main thing. The flashbacks use speech that is common now but not historically accurate in a glaringly obvious way. For example, the mixed tape song (from the eighties or 90's) had the advice to "be present." This was not in mainstream consciousness or lexicon at this time. It felt out of place and really only came into speech over the last decade. Also, during the scene that is a flashback to an art show, the friend gives a speech in tones that are very millennial and with upticks. Women didn't speak this way in the 60's. They also didn't start a speech saying "my journey." Talking about your journey wasn't a thing back then...that only really became part of speech in a noticeable way in the mid 2,000s. It would be good for the writers to consult with people who were alive in these times to see if the words and speech patterns ring true. It would lend more accuracy to the show.

gogga1011 Recipe for awards in America today: For the story take a sex change or homosexuals (who are always positives and very emotional even though in reality is not always the case), for the main roles select Jews (producers and directors, as well), and call the pathetic drama comedy or sitcom. Definitely, if it is the film - it will guaranteed gets an Oscar, and if it is the series then it'll gets all other awards. And all series of similar topics. Because now it is in the United States very popular and politically correct to celebrate homosexuality, more than anything else. So by default in each recent American series must be at least one homosexual character, and this character must be a genuine good guy. Movie gay can't be killer, psycho or anything dark like that, but when is (very rarely), that character is usually somehow sympathetic and very emotional. I do not mind someone's sexual orientation, but constant glorification of someone's sexual orientation is disgusting. I know, this is "Hollywood" but I'm tired of pathetic political correctness and patterns because already all series and movies began to look like one another as peas in a pod! Beneath the seemingly unusual surface, this show is full of stereotypes and actually empty, boring. But "Hollywood" likes it and will make you all to love it too.
