the leading man is my tpye
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
View MoreMostly, I'm thankful for a good clean show that isn't loaded with sex, sexual innuendos, or violence. I'm also thankful that it shows the human side of trying to live according to the Bible. People mess up every day because they're human, and this is a reflection of that. Good, clean, family show.
View MoreI really really really wanted to love this show. Camryn Manheim is a goddess and truly the only solid actor in this show. Everything else just lacks.....well.....everything! The dialogue is cheesy and much of the acting is wooden. But the canned laugh tracks are the straw that breaks the camel's back -- just horrible. They overuse the laugh tracks and even manage to misuse them in spots that should be without. So very very very disappointed. Hopefully, the producers will see the divine Ms. Manheim and give her a show of substance.
View MoreIt's great to have a comedy with a little bit of ethics inside it. Those who are upset that our protagonist isn't starting wars or shedding blood should remember that the Bible is not just a book of rules but also a history of the Jewish people. Like most history, it's not meant to be repeated. Even many of the Old Testament laws were only intended for the locale. Cooking rules for a hot climate before refrigeration (no shellfish for example) don't apply today.I read the book and enjoyed it and although it only covered the Old Testament, I'm glad the show has included both Old and New so as to have more scope. I hope people give this a chance. It's is a great way to have a few laughs, but it can also be an interesting look at where and why we first got some of out ideas about wrong and right.
View MoreHaving read "The Year of Living Biblically" and that they converted it to Christianity is very disappointing. It's supposed to be him living the rules and laws of the Old Testament.The series chronicles a married film critic and expectant father's decision to become born again by living his life according to the Bible after the death of his best friend.LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.Read the book folks, it is hysterical and amazing. A.J. Jacobs is awesome. Disappointing because I do like the lead.
