It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Season one of this show was hilarious. So funny and the banter between the actors was amazing and quick witted. We couldn't wait for the second season. Now that it is almost over - we can't figure out what happened. The ideas for the show are still great, but the writing is horrible. We hardly laugh at it any more. Sometimes we even fast forward through short sections. And why do they have to explain the show afterward? That should be their first clue that it is bad. If you have to explain your comedy, it isn't funny. I don't know what happened to the writers, but they need to go back to the way it was. Watch the first season on demand - but don't waste your time with the second one.

I really enjoy Jim Gaffigan's stand-up, probably even more so than most people. I've watched every episode of the the Jim Gaffigan Show so far though (midway through season 2 now), and with each episode I'm eking closer to dropping it.There's a few laughs here and there, but all in all, during 95% of the episode I don't even laugh. It's more of a drama about a comedian than an actual comedy. It's very self-deprecating of Jim, sometimes harshly and unbearably so. I know it's a TV show and it's ironic and for fun, but the jokes (against Jim) are so real and harsh sometimes that you literally feel bad for him - and wonder if this is even hurting his image!At least if there was a captivating plot line, it could work as a drama. But it still follows the silly, whimsical story line that a comedy would - save for the laughs. If there were some good supporting characters at least, it could work. But none of the other characters are funny either. Adam Goldberg is boring, dull, unfunny, and same with everyone else. The only other character I kind of like is Michael Ian Black (who I think is BRILLIANT in Another Period), but even in this show, he's not truly "funny". Jim is the only person on the show you can rely on for laughs, and there aren't really much at that. So, it's not funny as a comedy. It's not interesting as a drama. I don't know what it is, but either way, it's just not holding my interest so I think I'll drop it.

First: Jim's show is not for kids. This show is about smart adults doing adult things, like eating and dealing with life. IF you are an adult, you will appreciate Jim and his writers reflecting real life issues, while making them funny too.Second: TV Land has finally put on a show for adults that is not done in front of an audience or an annoying laugh track. Hooray! Third: This show is shot on location in New York City meaning the city itself is another major character of the show -- even more important than it was on the television show Seinfeld.Last: This show has depth far beyond its twenty-one minutes. Good for you Jim. Keep up the great work!

I have never really been a Jim Gaffigan fan. Sure, he's funny, but far from one of my favorite stand ups.As such, I am greatly surprised by how good this show is - in my view, one of the best comedies headed by a stand up comedian in years.The chemistry with Ashley Williams is believable and balanced, she is not just a prop, but in fact very funny herself.... I especially enjoyed seeing her come to life in Episode 4, rather than just playing the boring "frustrated" housewife.Michael Ian Black is awesome as the snarly homo friend, and Adam Goldberg is finally in a role where he get's a bit of depth, rather than just being the token angry a..hole, which usually get's old really fast in his previous work.All in all, this show is well written, well acted and well produced, and highly recommended to anyone who also like current shows like You're the worst (which I put this show on par with) and Married (which I rank slightly below The Jim Gaffigan Show).
