Reviews

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
dianos One of the other reviews mentioned they laugh at their own jokes, I think this this adds a little bit of a SNL like flavor to the show, as if the other character was not exactly following a script but actually came up with their own lines for the character they are playing.I realize that this show is not everyone's cup of tea, for instance some of the sex jokes are quite extreme even by today's standards. The show would also alienate many of those with more conservative outlooks on life. But I think if not as mainstream as Friends was, it's a good continuation in a similar format, just target towards a subset of new age young adults to middle aged city dwellers.I'm shelving this show with the best comedies that were ever created, such as Frasier. It is still early and they are still doing some adjustments, some of the guest stars are quite terrible, like the half sister and the ex husband. Alex's brother, and Whitney's dad are very well done tho.I sincerely hope the TV networks are going to be picking up many more episodes for years to come!
pranaphish I was not planning on bothering writing a review of this show, because I was almost certain it would be cancelled. Then I saw it on again...and I could not believe it. It is so mind numbingly terrible, every joke predictable, every character uninteresting, just so over done rom-com sarcastic, ironic wannabe crap...yuck! I was on vacation in Thailand when I first saw it and there was no other TV on a rainy day. I turned off the TV and stared at the wall instead. The wall was so much better. I cannot even stand to hear the commercials for this show...the stupid joke set ups and the long wait for the laugh..it stinks!The worst part about this show is all of the characters seem like they are pushing 40 but are trapped in mid twenties life dilemmas. They really try to hard to be hip, or cool, or whatever, but it just comes across as try hard desperation. The characters are actually characters you could really hate because they are so annoying, but I highly doubt this is what the writers intended.
call_me_crazy Enjoyed season 1 much more than expected and found it more enjoyable than Whitney's other show 2 Broke Girls. She writes for both. The writing is quick, the jokes are on the mark most of the time and the characters are dysfunctional enough to make you feel better about your life. The last few shows were not as strong as the first and I hope they get it back on track, the feeling that they are trying to accomplish too much does creep in from time to time, again keep it simple.Keep up the great work, renew for another season!Bring on season 2.
Fatume I wanted to watch this show ever since it came on the air, but hesitated when I saw the low rating.I finally caught up with all the episodes two days ago. I watched 22 episodes back to back because I just could not get enough. The whole time I was watching it I was thinking "why the low rating?" so I couldn't wait to log in and write this review.The show is named after the real life stand-up comic Whitney Cummings so one would think that she'd carry the whole show on her weight and deliver all the funny lines, but it's actually not. This show is hilarious. It is so funny as in I actually laughed. The chemistry is amazing between the lead characters and I love their friends too.Don't trust the low rating. Go watch it right NOW.
