This is How Movies Should Be Made
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

View MoreWow!I only watched the first 9 episodes and that is 9 too many!I have not one good thing to say about this show! Nothing was interesting to me; not the acting, not the story and not the characters.The cast are annoying, especially Sean Hayes who just seems to be playing Jack McFarland 2.0!It actually kind of angers me that a show like this is still on the air when plenty of better shows are cancelled in a short amount of time!!Good news: NBC has cancelled the show after 14 episodes due to low ratings!!
View MoreSean (Sean Hayes) is a gay single dad to Ellie (Samantha Isler) and he is stuck with his mother (Linda Lavin) living with him. He works at an internet company with his wacky boss Max (Thomas Lennon). His best friends are his two co-workers Liz (Megan Hilty) and Hunter (Echo Kellum).This is a fairly straight sitcom. (Ha Ha!) The humor is safe and unimaginative. I like all the characters but they're not particularly interesting. They're cute and likable. That's how I describe this sitcom. It's cute and likable.It was canceled after its 13 episodes run and they closed shop even before finishing the 5 episodes back order. It's too bad. There are a lot worse sitcoms out there, but this just didn't have the audience.
View MoreI used to be a lover of sitcoms back in the days of Friends, Will and Grace, Cheers, and even as a little kid watching Taxi and Mash. Sometime after Friends and Will and Grace, it seems the sitcom died. For me, Will and Grace was all about Jack and Karen! None of the rest of the cast mattered, anyone could have played them and it didn't make a difference to me. It's the same with Sean Saves the World. It's all about Sean Hayes and Tom Lennon. They are both incredible and their different comedic styles create a wonderful melange of funny. I do like Linda Lavin too but the rest of the cast can be anyone. Megan Hilty was great in Smash, but comedy is sooo obviously NOT her forte. She is the only one I would change because it makes the comedy seem forced and drags the better actors down. She should stick to singing. I also love the sets. Love the bold colors. The set design of his home is bold and gorgeous. The other only other comedy show I'm into right now is Dads. I may be in the minority but Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother and Modern Family just bore or annoy me. So I'm sooo glad "Jack's Back!" Please don't let it get canceled.
View MoreI watched the first three episodes and I just do not find it funny. It has a poor plot, the writing and the acting is sub par, I think the casting is atrocious. Sean Hayes just seems to be reprising his role from Will and Grace. No real changes in how he "acts" (assuming he is acting) or how he interacts with other cast members. His office and home persona's are basically the same person. In my experience most people act different between work and home, much more real at home and fake at work. After all when working you act the walk and talk the talk to keep your job. Unless of course you are the owner. Thomas Lennon plays the boss and with that really cheesy mustache reminds me of Hitler and his acting seems really stiff. All in all I think this is a doomed series.
