Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
View MoreWorth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
This is a great TV show. It is so funny, especially Munch! Perfect combination of characters, which really works perfect for each other. The different personalities, really make this show worth seeing. Basically all my friends in Denmark love this show, and i hope there will be many more episodes, even though i've heard that it doesn't look to good:( It is definitely a worthy competitor to How I Met Your Mother. I think this will be a great success. It probably will need some time to "blume", but it will definitely get there, if they proceed working on the TV show. Larry Munch, is a great personality, which is definitely the funniest in this show!
View MoreI'll be completely honest. I've seen abut 10 episodes of this show, and that's 300 minutes of my life that I will NEVER get back. First off, the thing that makes me hate this show the most is the acting. The performance given by Jason Biggs is absolutely TERRIBLE. I loved him in American Pie, but honestly, he should've quit after that. However, I love the performances by Tyler Labine and Judy Greer. Tyler reminds me of certain aspects of myself, and Judy reminds me of a person close to me. Sarah Chalke does NOT fit in ANYWHERE in this show. I always forget that she's even in the show! The second: clichés. The whole story about 2 people who meet and their friends can't get along, is complete and utter bullshit. Please excuse my language, but it seems like I've seen this more than a million times. If you want a good show to watch that will actually give you a laugh, I recommend The Colbert Report, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, The Daily Show, or hell watch some Looney Tunes cartoons.
View MoreFirst of all, the pilot is a little lame, but the show gets better. At first glimpse, it's the next HIMYM, but -1 character (which, at the start was the 'next FRIENDS' -1 character), but it improves.We have four people: Ben (Jason Biggs), Kate (Sarah Chalke), Connie (Judy Greer) and Larry (Tyler Labine).Ben and Kate almost immediately hook up the moment they see each other. Do you know the feeling, when you get on a bus, take your seat, and the next stop a young couple gets on, the guy sits next to you, the girl sits on the guy's lap, they start making out, often pushing you with their elbows? This is how I feel when I watch these two. They are disturbingly oversweet. Even when they are arguing, it doesn't seem real, and you know right away, they will get back together in no time. The second disturbing thing is: Sarah looks like 33-34, Jason's around 24-25 (even though, in real life, he is only a 1-2 years younger). He tries to grow a mustache and a beard, but that's only creepy.On the other hand, Judy's and Tyler's characters are much more interesting. Even though they seem to hate each other, their verbal fights are very witty and funny, kind of like in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, you can't help watching them and hoping for them to get together. (Which, I hope will never occur, since they would lose their most of their characteristics, just like (SPOILER) Leonard in TBBT, after hooking up with Penny.)Other than the disturbing syrup of Ben and Kate's overperfect love, the show is quite good, funny jokes, and some familiar guest stars.
View MoreWell... the pilot is the worst episode till now, and we already get to see 4! So, if you're in doubt, don't see the reviews from people who just saw the 1st one, because it gets so much better, and by 4th episode I was already laughing hard with some moments, definitely the best till now and a great episode overall!The pilot kind of gets the feeling of How I Met Your Mother, and I think it was intended that way, but the next episodes are definitely different and much better, and the feeling completely disappears. Another great thing is that the characters turns out much more likable and believable.So, my recommendation is: please don't discard the series just because of the pilot, because that is the worst episode at all levels, and the others are so much better!
