I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreIt's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
View MoreThere is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
View MoreIf you like lazy writing and bad acting then George Lopez is the right actor for you.
View MoreWhy would you use very bad supporting cast members like Kathy Griffin? This show had so much potential, but you need the right people to make this show.
View MoreLopez plays himself in a show much like Entourage. The shows centers around Lopez (this show's Vincent Chase) with his gang: Manolo (Turtle) the side-kick driver, Olly the social media focused agent, and Moronzio the comedian-friend.The first season is honestly has lots of issues. The comedy echos beats from Curb Your Enthusiasm, where Lopez plays a selfish jerk that induce moments of cringe or laughter, but isn't done as nearly as well Curb.However, the second season and near the end of season one the show gets much better. The characters start to show more depth that they aren't these people around each other for the sake of convenience, but they have some actual warmth for each other. George's character softens, so, he isn't so unlike-able. The plot lines also get better by adding more current events around the entertainment industry and add interesting side-characters that help create interesting situations like Hector, Olly's sister, and Coco.The shows also promotes ideas of diversity in a way that isn't preachy, but more real which is a real feat. The review score would be higher, if not for pretty weak first season. Otherwise, the show seems to be getting better and better, lets hope they can sustain it.
View More"Lopez" is definitely one of the funnier "new" shows out there. George is at his best when he is himself - and his low key, natural, smooth performance allows for his supporting cast to shine. Each episode has a cool vibe, is entertaining and unfortunately I have to wait a whole week before the next one - "must see (cable)TV"!
