disgusting, overrated, pointless
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
View MoreThis is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
View MoreEach character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
View MoreThis is a show with "something". Just saw it for the first time. Watched two episodes back to back, something I never do. "ROB" is just plain funny here. It's a nice set up, about the guy who's underdog who's lucky in love, his wife, in laws, the crazy brother. The casting is terrific. I love the mother in law. The writing is excellent. The scene in episode 6 where they go to the restaurant, and the Greeter gives him a hard time about older than his wife, made me crack up. Schneider is so good in it. Great show. I bet it will live at least 5 seasons. First season is always the toughest for the audience, because they aren't comfortable with the characters yet.
View MoreI'm not a Rob Schneider fan so I wasn't expecting much when I watched this when it came on after The Big Bang Theory. The pilot was actually one of the funniest laugh-out-loud shows I have seen on TV in years. The brother-in-law was great. If you watch no other episodes, see that one.The next two episodes haven't quite lived up to the promise shown in the pilot. Maybe because they used up most of their jokes in the pilot. Usually pilots are so-so as they establish characters, and later episodes get better.Other than the brother-in-law, the series appears to be going in reverse. Still, considering the lack of laugh out loud shows on TV right now (TBBT is the only one), this one still had some other LOL moments in the next two episodes.Some people may be offended by the way some characters are stereotypically portrayed, particularly the b-i-l, but it's the obviousness in the way it is done that it's not to be taken seriously, the same way Archie Bunker was not to be taken seriously as representing all white middle aged men.
View MoreI, somehow, only watched the first half of the second episode, but I think I saw enough to nail it in a nutshell. Take the show "All in the Family" and turn the Bunkers into wealthy Mexican-Americans, and then replace Meathead with Darren Stevens from "Bewitched" and VOILA!, you have Rob! Also, don't bothering updating anything from either one of these two shows, because "Rob!" does not give you anything new at all. Pretty terrible show.Gosh, I summed everything up so neatly that it is too short for IMDb guidelines so I have to think about something else that I don't like about it. I guess all I can say is that unlike other reviewers, I have no problem with Cheech Marin or Rob Schneider.
View MoreIf the plot line was focused on a white father-in-law constantly belittling his Mexican daughter-in-law, there would be outrage. Why then does a major network consider a Mexican belittling his new white son-in-law acceptable? It's not. Liked Rob Schneider in DEUCE BIGELOW. Liked Cheech Marin in NASH BRIDGES. Cannot stand either of them in this stupid would-be sitcom. The jokes are so forced and Rob is made out to be a fool rather than simply a nice guy trying hard to adjust to the Mexican family that he married into. Is this supposed to be an object lesson or what?Cannot imagine why CBS replaced RULES OF ENGAGEMENT with this tripe, what were they thinking?UPDATE: Thankfully CBS dumped this trash after just 8 episodes. With any luck, they will never bring it back.
