View MoreAll that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
View MoreI love this show, it is very funny and touches on social issues. Unlike other comedy TV series, its not silly funny. One of my favourite episodes was the one were Edna gets married LOL. The last episode of season 1 was very sad, heart breaking and well performed by the actors. I have to say Giovanni Ribisi has been great in this show, very funny. Also Edna have been awesome too , ha ha very funny. She is like Berta but funnier and more likable. I hope it returns for another season. I think the people who have been critical of this TV series need to have some sense of humour. I don't find this TV series to be sexist or racist and I am a female with brown skin colour.
View MoreTonight I watched what I believe to be the absolute worst sitcom I have ever seen. I love comedy shows and have thousands of episodes of several dozen different series to prove it. This show was more idiotic than any AND it was offensive. To top it off, they either had an audience full of drunks or were liberally using a laugh track. In the first couple of minutes of this Feb. 4 episode I heard the audience laughing several times at lines that were not the least bit funny.The plot dealt with a stereotype Mafioso coming in to the company that designs video games and in a few hours he ran through all they needed to make a successful new game, including a lead cartoon character.One of the early laughs (from the audience/laugh track, certainly not from me) was when the Mafia guy met one of the partners in the company, a short man with a full beard and asked, "What are you, in kindergarten?" Does it make any sense that he would think someone with a full beard is about 5 years old? Of course not! But that laugh track whooped it up.The cast seemed packed with stereotypical characters including one obnoxious man who seemed compelled to yell out, whenever the word "God" was spoken, "There is no God!" The Mafia guy refused to be paid with a check, so he agreed to take no money, with their promise to do him a favor some time. Five seconds after walking away he returned, asking for his favor. He wanted them to play cards with him.The one partner is seen with few chips while the Mafia guy has a boatload that he puts into the pot. The partner decides to wager the entire store vs. the money on the table. Never mind how this doesn't fit the usual rules of poker, nor how he could hardly wager away his partner's share of the business. Forget about how stupid one would be to bet so much. We all knew he would lose, just as surely as almost every lame punchline in the entire show was easily predictable.Then we see him waking up in bed next to his wife (I guess) and is relieved to find out it was just a dream. But, we the viewer have been tricked. When a scene leads to someone in it waking up, that is supposed to mean it was a dream. But here, it was real, we just suddenly shifted to him waking up and thinking he had a dream.Suddenly the Mafia guy has taken over the entire store, including all operations of the partner with whom he won no bet. He has put in a stripper pole and is quickly making it into all the stereotype operations that mobsters are reported to do. When challenged by the partner who lost the bet, he goes to "take him for a ride." I hope I don't spoil the "surprise" ending by revealing that he doesn't actually kill anyone, but he does threaten to do so to someone else, via the computer.The show was full of the lamest one-liners, clichés, stereotype characters, offensive language, offensive themes, offensive characters—I hated the idiot who kept yelling "There is no God!" I've always enjoyed Martin Mull, but in this episode he seemed to be given almost nothing to do, except sit in the background and say almost nothing.Even if I live to be 200 years old, I will believe that life is too short to waste another half hour of my life watching this miserable excuse for a TV comedy.
View MoreThis is really a horrible show. The actors are not even trying. The "jokes" are plain and just old stereotypes played again and again.This Seth guy should stay behind the scene and let real actors work. He cannot act! In a fair world, this show would have been canceled a long time ago. Can someone explain why "We are men", which was an original concept talking about a subject rarely seen on TV with really good actors, is canceled after two episodes and this junk stays?The racism of the show is a point that I find specifically despicable. They seem to work hard to create a shock that would generate some media attention and improve their ratings. I think the best to do is just to stop watching and let it die on its own.
View MoreI would have agreed with other reviews about how terrible this show is but I had to give it time. I LOVE Seth Green, Giovanni Ribisi, and Peter Riegert and refused to believe they could produce something so god awful. While it isn't the best show out there, with each passing episode I can see the characters settling into themselves. I will say the Dads more so than the Sons as of now but the comedy IS getting better! Seth Green's maid is definitely a show stealer. I'm impressed by the writers for never translating what she says in Spanish. It adds a special comedy for me since I am bilingual. I feel as of now the two strongest characters are Peter Reigert and the maid. Their relationship is hilarious!I am also particularly impressed by Brenda Song. While most would discard her as a former Disney actress, her role in this show really speaks to her talents. Her character is a strong and smart, constantly keeping the boys in line and pretty much responsible for the continued success of the company.Blame it on nostalgia if you must but I really want to see this show continue and develop into something greater.
