Wonderful character development!

Brilliant and touching

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

It's wedding day for Alice (Marla Sokoloff) and Danny Garfinkle (Josh Cooke) at her parents' home. Her mother Jane (Wendie Malick) wants to control the wedding. Her father Steve (Kurt Fuller) wants her to not marry the immature Danny. Lorna (Stephnie Weir) is the harried wedding coordinator. Becca (Miriam Shor) is Alice's sister. The Garf (Stephen Tobolowsky) is Danny's wacky dad.This is one of those high concept sitcoms where everybody has to be wacky. It comes off badly. At least, there are no laugh tracks but they replace it with a constant wacky music soundtrack. It doesn't make the show any funnier. I like the actors and it's not like this is anything offensive. It's just not funny.

I have this show a chance, even though I wasn't in the mood for "Another Desperate Housewives" Other shows I have seen have some bad acting in it, but man...this one. The guy who played the Delivery guy was Awful! He had no characters and was just as useless as an extra! Are they just giving anyone roles now? I don't think he is ready yet to perform in TV and film. I shut it off half way through his performance ;) although the rest of the characters are pretty good. I would have given this show another chance but the casting was off in some places. Maybe is it ever jumps to a network, other than the one it is on. Perhaps with a better casting director who doesn't just give important featured spots to just anyone, i can watch it. Seriously. The delivery guy! AWFUL!

This is a well-cast show with only the barest of plots...but it works. The writers have pulled out all the insanity cards and are having entirely too much fun with them. Every time one crisis is averted (or determined to not, really, be a crisis,) another one arises. And the actors seem to throw themselves with unmitigated glee into whatever situation the writers conjure up--from dealing with the obnoxious grandmother to taking down a dragon. It is, however, a warm-hearted show--even though they keep throwing roadblocks into the wedding day, you have no doubt that, in the end, the happy couple will be just that...the happy couple. (Of course, since we haven't gotten to the end of the day yet, I could be wrong...but I'm willing to bet, oh, a box of albino Monarch butterflies that it'll all come together.)

This show was much better when it was on the BBC and titled The Worst Week of My Life.Stephanie Weir and Wendy Malick should certainly be credited with being the only saving grace this show, but esp in Stephanie's case, being the funniest part of the show.The show certainly has the ingredients of a hit with a great cast. While the Americanized version of another British sitcom, The Office, translated well, that has largely been because past the pilot, they have pretty much made the show their own, and not relied solely on the British show's format. This show needs to do the same thing.The Worst Week of My Life was a great BBC series. Big Day should grow up, and have it's big day and start walking on it's own.
