n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
View MoreThe film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
View MoreThe 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.
View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Who doesn't love Actress Judy Greer? She works consistently and seems to pop up just about everywhere with her trademark character; the one we usually love to dislike! Joined by actors Nat Faxon as her husband, Sarah Burns the quirky single mom, Brett Geiman as the nerdy rich friend and Paul Reiser who plays the aging, wise friend Married hits a bullseye on what it's like to be married with kids surrounded by friends/couples who bring loyalty and annoyance. I laugh out loud at the writing which salutes bluntness, sarcasm and reality. Season 2, Episode 7 with veteran actress Joanna Cassidy as Faxon's mother is priceless!
View MoreNot every comedy show is going to be liked by everybody, but Married overall is a smart comedy with great timing. Nat Faxon and Judy Greer play a married couple with three kids. They are pretty much the average family, trying to make ends meet while dealing with life issues in a comical sort of way. Faxon and Greer have great timing and they play great off each other. Some episodes are funnier than others and a little too silly, but overall, I always get at least one or more decent laughs in each episode, and I hardly ever laugh watching most comedies. The show covers all aspects of marriage, including parenting and friends. The show has a dark, twisted sort of humor, but it also conveys the right message as well. After the first episode, it grows on you. I'm very happy they made a second season. The show to me is a mix of National Lampoons(earlier years) and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Besides this show, the only other comedy worth watching these days is Silicon Valley.
View MoreFX comedies have always been very hit or miss for me. Shows like "The League", "Always Sunny in Philadelphia", and "Louie" are all quirky in their own way and make for some great television. "Married" however leans more towards the mediocre list with shows like "Saint George" and "Anger Management". Nat Faxon and Judy Greer are the likable couple that the show revolves around, along with some oddball friend characters that only seem to exist to help fill up the 30 minute program. The weekly plot lines produce a few laughs you wouldn't see on network TV since FX can get away with some risky material, but overall each episode feels kind of empty and sporadic. Even the music score makes the show feel slow and depressing. I would be surprised if their was a 2nd season since there's nothing to keep most viewers interested in this show unfortunately.
View MoreI watched this show because I had just read Judy Greer's book and I wanted to check it out. I am so tired of Hollywood making marriage out to be awful for both husband and wives. While they are so busy promoting gay marriage apparently heterosexual marriage is a fate worse than death. The beginning of the show is promising - certainly most husbands feel they don't get enough sex - a good premise for comedy but this was not comedy it was a tragedy. An unbelievable tragedy on top of it. Am I to believe that a wife is going to encourage her husband to have sex elsewhere?? AND that his two friends - one who is a female - and I would assume they know the wife since they have been married for 11 years - have no objections?? No dissenting voices?? I usually check out new comedies looking for something smart like Frasier or actually funny like Everybody Loves Raymond but alas it is nowhere to be found!! As the show went on I had to wonder if these two even liked each other let alone loved each other. For a show to work the characters have to have some redeeming qualities and that was sorely lacking here. Perhaps it will get better in the following episodes but I won't be watching to find out.
