Good concept, poorly executed.

good back-story, and good acting

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I was really loving this sitcom until Roseanne started appearing. Hadn't enjoyed one this much since Friends & Raymond but now you've ruined it with hiring Roseanne. I refuse to watch anything with her on it! Please fire her & I'll be glad to start watching again. I am really hoping it wasn't going to get cancelled but I felt like it was probably going to be & was right!

Cristela (Cristela Alonzo) is a struggling law student desperate to land an unpaid internship for Trent. The other interns are Josh and the boss' daughter Maddie. She's living with her sister Daniela and her family. Her brother-in-law Felix wants to get her out of the house. Her mother is also living in the house dismissing her dreams. Then there is Alberto (Gabriel Iglesias) who works for Felix and has a thing for Cristela.This is basically a traditional network sitcom. Personally, I like Cristela Alonzo and that's half the battle. The rest is simple family sitcom and a workplace sitcom. There is a splash of Latino flavor but it's a cartoon version. I have no problem with not being original. Not every show has to recreate the wheel.

Im not sure if the aim was pull in the hispanic audience that watches like telenovellas on univision or something but it failed and is just bad.Cristela little shtick is funny for a second then gets old really fast and then just becomes annoying and irritating. If she wasn't in it and it was just the supporting cast it may have potential...another annoying character is the bosses daughter. who is also extremely irritating.despite the laugh track. I find nothing funny about this show.Judging by the nielsen ratings the shows days are number anyway. but I hope they don't try this again. just bad. heck cristela is not even nice to look at..

To see a regular TV sit com that is actually funny is rare. This show is the rarity. Cristela Alonzo has a quick wit and she's clever - a rare combination with television today.There are plenty of not-so-positive Mexican jokes packed into the show; Cristela turns the negative to positive with her quick retorts. Her mother, who immigrated from Mexico, always plays the downer, nagging at Cristela for pursuing her dreams. But both Cristela and her sister make light of their mother's negativity by humorously playing off it.I've only seen one episode of Cristela, but I intend on becoming a regular viewer. It's refreshing to find intelligent, funny television on a non-pay channel.
