The New Adventures of Old Christine Audience Reviews

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

atlasmb Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays the titular "old Christine" in this sitcom about a mother who struggles with day to day issues, mostly because of her own foibles. If you like Elaine in "Seinfeld", you will probably enjoy JLD's portrayal of Christine, which is similar to Elaine if Elaine had a kid and an ex-husband and owned a business.She is surrounded by cast members whose characters serve as mirrors to her simple neuroses, even if she doesn't want to see them. Clark Gregg, as the ex-husband, has moved on romantically, but he is still in her life and willing to point out her shortcomings matter-of-factly. Wanda Sykes is a friend who also acknowledges Christine's personality shortcomings, but is willing to be her business partner.But it is Ms. Dreyfus who drives this comedy, with her usual self-deprecating style and the ability to hold an entire show together with her personality and style.

jpugly13 This show is so good and the fact that most people will never know that really brings me down. The thing about this show is that you must watch several shows to get the jokes. Most of the jokes are relative to past shows and really are only funny when you know the characters. I look forward to watching this show any time i can. I have taken the time to tell people about the show and anyone who has taken the advice to watch four shows has turned into a huge fan. I just ask that before this show is pulled off the air that some of us ban together and really give this show a shot. If that does not get you then maybe just try watching it again. I believe that show has realized that the idea of really good smart comedy is overlooked. So they have put a lot more just in your face comedy. Some of the moments in this show are so funny that have laughed until i hurt.Go out and try something new.

abaddon73087 This show is without a doubt the worst and driest sitcom I've seen in years. Of the episodes I've waited through to actually watch something good, I only laughed or snickered like once or twice of which none of them were from Christine. The only time I laugh is when Matt is making fun of his ridiculous sister or someone else is saying how lame she truly is.And to make matters worse, with Christine's new season hysterical shows like Rules of Engagement and Big Bang Theory are on the chopping block to bring her back.So to make a long story short, Christine is just plain pathetic. I'd give her no stars if I could but I guess one will have to do.

John Esche I only wish someone could explain to me why anyone saw fit to build a decently written situation comedy around as loathsome (on virtually every level) a character as "Old Christine" (Julia Louis Drufus - OK, the writers - pushing her "edgily oblivious" persona from the old Seinfeld show to new levels of self centered repulsiveness).A genuinely first rate supporting cast has been assembled around her from the always charming Clark Gregg as her long suffering ex husband, Richard Campbell, to Hamish Linklater as her refreshingly laid-back brother/nanny Matthew and even the fresh faced Trevor Gagnon as her (thus far dramatically unchallenged) son Ritchie Campbell (destined for a lifetime of therapy with this horror of a "mother"). IMDb doesn't see fit to list . . . , Christine's best friend and business partner - and the only actual life-like woman in the show - among the lead characters and more's the pity. She almost saves it from being an unalloyed half hour exercise in unfunny misogyny and the only nearly unwatchable entrant in an otherwise first rate Monday night comedy lineup on CBS.The old Seinfeld crew slowly piled up the dysfunctional quirks for most of the run of the show so that we got to LIKE the characters before their "quirks" became psychopathic. The final episode somewhat ridiculously relegated them to a jail cell which few fans could honestly lament, but we stayed to the end because of that deep well of affection and identification we had built up before they went off the deep end (well, the *supporting* Kramer was always pretty much there, but we were only given him in relatively small doses)."Christine" has been something like a female Kramer, embodying the worst nightmares of any acquaintance we've ever had from the very first episode. Whatever masochism allows "fans" to laugh at her in the same "at least my friends and I are not THAT bad" - or worse, though it's difficult to believe - "see, I'm *normal*" mode many looked at Archie Bunker with through the years of ALL IN THE FAMILY escapes me.As a life long (if liberal) Republican, I suppose "red state" right wingers want to believe Christine is what moderates and liberals are *really* like (in their Rush Limbaugh/Pat Buchanan dreams). To that extent, the show isn't just unfunny, it's actively offensive - but then, no one ever said conservatives could be funny. To the extent this ...CHRISTINE remains on the CBS schedule, it may be the first commercially successful right wing attempt at "satire." More's the pity.
