An absolute waste of money
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
View MoreThis is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
View MoreI enjoyed this show. I am sad that it got cancelled. I think it had a good concept. A trophy wife who turns out isn't a gold-digger. This show had a really funny cast and honestly, I was very disappointed that it got cancelled.This show is about a thirty-something year old woman who marries an older man. He has already had two wives and three children. So with all of them together, a lot of stuff goes down. The kids are hilarious and so is the "trophy wife".Overall, I give this TV show a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.
View MoreI'm so sad this show is cancelled, I usually agree for the most part with ABC cancelled series, but there have been a few that have made me sad and this is definitely be at the top of the list. Trophy Wife was a funny breath of fresh air. Loved the plot and characters, really sad to see this one go. The actors really played their parts and were believable. From the parents to the kids, the cast really blended well together. I actually liked it better than the Goldbergs. It now joins 'That 'B' in Apartment 23 and Betrayal, two of my other favorites that have gotten the axe. I mean geez ABC give these shows a chance to do well before being so quick to cancel. You will be terribly missed.
View MoreTrophy Wife is one of the pleasant surprises of the 2013 fall season. In the first few episodes Malin Akerman in the main role is not all that sympathetic or, to be honest, even all that funny, but after several weeks she really grows on you. On the other hand, her two rivals, Marcia Gay Harden and Michaela Watkins as Bradley Whitford's previous wives Diane and Jackie, are immediately very funny. How many shows have been based on the model of husband as doofus and wife as long-suffering problem-solver? This show is nothing like that: it's written by women and at its core deals with the rivalry among three women, each of whom is less than perfect, and it is often hilarious. At this point in December of its first season, the breakout characters appear to be gormless New Age Jackie, her Asian adopted son Bert(Albert Tsai), and Diane's goofy teenage son Warren (Ryan Lee). My recent taste in sitcoms is in the vein of Parks & Rec (my current favourite), Louie, Community, 30 Rock, so I'm not usually a family sitcom type but this one works for me.
View MoreTrying to capitalize on its 'Modern Family' success, ABC has crapped out yet another 'blended family' sitcom. Sadly this show suffers from the same mediocrity of all its contenders. In the title role, Malin Ackerman is cast as the sexy, sweet and awkwardly funny third wife. Problem is, she brings none of that to the part. Rapidly approaching 40 she can't pull off kittenish party girl anymore, is written as more naive than sweet, and doesn't have the chops to pull off the physical comedy needed to make this show stand out (Ackerman is also a producer on the show, so maybe no one is able to actually tell her). In fact it almost seems like wife number two, Michaela Watkins' character, is written so ridiculously to help make Ackerman seem more charming by comparison. She doesn't. Bradley Whitford and Marcia Gay Harden performances' are good, if not predictable, and the kids are...well..kids. Again, not sure what is suppose to be unique about this show. The writing is average, the production is stock and the premise, which I suppose is basically summed up in the title, is hobbled by Ackerman.
