The greatest movie ever made..!

ridiculous rating

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.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Jesse Warner (Christina Applegate) is a single mom to Little John in Buffalo. She lives at home with her father (George Dzundza) and two brothers, one voluntarily silent. Diego (Bruno Campos) is the new neighbor from Chile and her new love interest. She works at her traditional father's bar with girlfriends Carrie (Jennifer Milmore) and Linda (Liza Snyder). Complicating matters is her ex-husband, who walked out on her 7 years before, but is back to reinsert himself into her life. In the second season, she's studying to be a nurse and gets a job at a clinic. There are other changes including little odd ones like Milmore's hair and big ones likes the disappearance of her family. Dzundza is a big personality and the show feels odd without such a big part of her life.This is a Christina Applegate vehicle. After the success of Married with Children, the folks at NBC thought they had the formula to built around Christina. As such, it always felt fake and chemistry never truly set right. It just seemed to be too many things going on in this show. When they make one character voluntarily mute, it just showed how silly the writers got. The desperation really showed when it gets retooled dramatically for the second season. It's just a random sitcom to showcase Applegate and nothing more.

Nice to see Christina Applegate finally get a starring role on TV.I think this is a very mature role for her as a single mom with the prescription quirky family (who doesn't have one?).But after the gloriously depressing Mafia! this is a gem. Fast punchy dialogue, yet there's still time for a little bit of romance with the new neighbour.I've only just started to watch it here in the UK (CH4, mornings July 2001) so it's still early days, really.Liked the episode about their "First Date" and the incident with the candy - classic "if it can go wrong, it will".Well done, Christina for shaking off the Kelly Bundy image of being a dullard.Go-o-o Jesse!

I love this show! Christina Applegate is a great comedic actress! So funny! And Bruno Campos is Hot, Hot, Hot! Where can I find a neighborlike that! They had some great comic moments like kissing on the water squirting couch! Yipes!Jesses arm stuck in the mail slot! and Diego using olive oil to remove it. And Ant's in the Beetle Episope!Some touching moments Bruno and Jesses son and the Hot chocolate.I found the whole cast enjoyable and extreamly funny. Her girlfriendsand Co. workers! And Please! a Delouyse in the Family! Got to love them!I wish the show was still on, but I'm sure with all their talent you will see them again on the Big Screen! Lot's of talent! Funny! and Hot!

I'll admit I was skeptical since I never cared for "Married, With Children" but Christina Applegate blew me away with "Jesse." Showing how strong, yet sensitive a woman can be is so great. Her cute Chilean boyfriend is an added bonus and I HOPE they get married....
