It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This show, to put it succinctly, Plymouth Rocks. It shows the terrible hardships of early settlers and their foibles and hubris. Somehow the puritanical Puritans remain human throughout.Sarah Vowell has a great bit on this show from "This American Life" that you can listen to at: http://thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=328While it's sad that the show is canceled it is more remarkable that it even got made. Can you imagine the pitch meeting?Pitcher: "Um, yeah, I have this idea for a comedy set in the 17th century Puritan community of New England."Pitchee: "Wow. What's the funniest part, the 50% mortality rate or the hellfire and damnation preaching?"Pitcher: "I saw you last night at Spago's with a woman who I know is not your wife"Pitchee: "Let's make this sumbitch!"If you can find it on DVD anywhere let the IMDb community know. This is the kind of comedy we need.

I am an 8th grader and in my social studies we were studying the early english in america. My social studies teacher being the movie/tv nut he is, showed us the pilot episode. It was hilarious. It's such a shame it got cancelled.

CBS's decision to cancel "Thanks" says a lot about the sad state of modern-day network television. This show at least attempted to be different. Unlike almost every other sitcom on TV, "Thanks" wasn't set in New York, wasn't about a bunch of whiney twentysomethings, and wasn't just a collection of tired sex jokes. "Thanks" probably never had a chance. It wasn't the kind of show a focus group would have approved. Maybe it wasn't the best show of all time, maybe it was imperfect, but at least it tried to bring a fresh kind of comedy to network TV. It was different. It didn't try to be the umpteenth "Friends" clone. It deserved a longer run, in part because it dared to be original. "Thanks" lasted five or six episodes. "Suddenly Susan" ran for years. That's modern television in a nutshell.

I agree with the first comment, this was a wonderful show, a breath of fresh air when sitcoms are full of tired "Friends" rip-offs. Thanks was witty and cleverly written. The episode where tobacco was introduced to Plymouth Colony was so funny with great satirical bits about the modern tobacco industry. My housemates and I loved every episode and we hope CBS will order more. bring back the dysfunctional Pilgrims!
