This is How Movies Should Be Made
Just perfect...
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreWhen i was going to watch this series for the 1st time, i didn't expected too much from..i expected it to be just like any other series. but it turned out to be as one of my favorites now. seriously, this is one series where you'll find everything..comedy, romance, emotions...all the characters in this have done a very good job...specially Duncan Carmelo(Jon Bernthal) and Richie Velch(Jesse Tyler Ferguson)...i specially liked Richie...he has done a terrific job..I have already seen the whole series around 4 times & i still wanna watch it again..but I'm really disappointed that they stopped making it..this should be in the must watch list of everyone who like sitcoms...
View MoreI haven't spoken to one person who watches the show who didn't absolutely love it! How the hell did they cancel it. Every character is likable. The relationships are on a path to becoming great. Someone needs to pick this up, it's to good to put on the shelf.I'd like to know the mindset of networks that cancel some of the best shows. TNT did it with "Wanted", FOX did it with "Inside" and now CBS cancels the best sitcom since Friends.I don't know how we can get the word out, but i hope somebody reads these.Jack
View MoreIf you have seen Friends, the writing will feel very familiar. Especially the last 3 or 4 seasons of Friends often share the same comedy setups.The show is about a group of people whose connection is that they shared the same class when they were still rather young (about 10 years old I think). Now, they're in their mid-twenties, and they meet again on a class reunion. This is where the series starts.A typical episode deals with multiple story lines at once. They're usually not connected in any way. Each story line is cut up into multiple sections, which are then shown in a mixed order.The sketches is where my problems lie with this series. As in the later seasons of Friends, it's often a rather silly setting with hard to believe situations. One of the main characters does something really stupid that's hard to believe. The situation is then heavily exaggerated, as if it wasn't silly enough. If you're into this kind of in-your-face humor, then maybe you'll like this series. For me it is a great turn-off.The reason I started watching Friends is because of the first few seasons. There are interesting and especially credible story lines, with some romance in it that makes you root for the characters. The Class has none of this. The characters are simply too forced and stereotypes are pushed too far. It's therefore not possible to relate to them and like them.At least with friends, it took several seasons before it ran out of steam and the character traits were all milked out. But in The Class, it seems it has run out of steam before it even started.
View MoreThe Class is a comedy series that portrays a bunch of 27-year-old former class mates.I like the idea of the show. That's why it saddens me that The Class is not funny, even though it has the obvious potential. It's not enough corky, just dorky. (Haha.) This is due to a slowish tempo and the lack of actually hilarious punch lines. Also some actors have difficulties with timing.Most inventively written characters are the twins Kat and Lina Warbler (Lizzy Caplan and Heather Goldenhersh) but even they seem just a little too square for the good of the show. On the other hand the characters I find most uninteresting are the main character Ethan and the used-to-be- couple Duncan and Nicole.What bothers me with the series is that the only Latino character Aaron is being picked on for his accent (even though by a non-respectable character, but anyway).
