ThiefHott Too much of everything
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
csumm Louis Anderson is the standout in this series. While Zach Galifianakis is a good actor in his own right, he is great here.. But Louis Anderson is outstanding. His performance makes me want him to be my mom.
differentdrummer-08748 A few bars of a French song, sometimes sung in a round, were presented in chorus at the end of yesterday's program (3/6/18). The lyrics I heard were, "Il ya longtemps que je t'aime; jamais je ne t'oublierai," Would anyone know the title of this song? Thank you.
bnickmartelli This shows isn't funny at all. What's funny about one guy tearing into a mother from two sides.I don't understand how treating people (they both treat everybody they meet with soooo much resentment) so badly is funny. They don't have joke or humor just ignorance. If this is television at its best if rather stare at a wall. He's just another vain actor trying to do too much with very little. Hey Zach you were better before you got real famous. Get back to the fat guy. Bet you had to hire a trainer to tell you how to get in shape but you tell everyone you did it on your own. PS. This review is written as well as your show
LAntichristo This actually is not much of a review. More like a rumble. I like the show, the writers are smart, the dialogues are well written, the performances are OK and all that jazz, especially Louie Anderson! Wow, that man touches my heart in every scene!!! But this is not a comedy. It is so bloody miserably depressing. It is like a black comedy that doesn't make you laugh. My brain laughs from time to time ... silently. But mostly I want to kill myself watching this show. And I am sure it is Louis C.K's fault, because his sense of humor is like that. He always emphasizes on the misery of losers, on the harsh reality of ugly wasted lives. Don't get me wrong. It has a really good quality to it. I am NOT saying it is bad in any way. It is just not funny. It's ironic, yes! Nothing wrong with irony. But it is not funny. I love black comedy. But this. This is not a comedy. It is not even black comedy. No, this is like being hungry and cutting up small pieces of your leg and eating them. Satisfies your hunger to an extent, but you are bloody eating yourself man! I want more. And I don't. I am so conflicted!I like though the fact that we have gone so far in television series that they don't have to be "feel good" "happy go lucky" to see the light of day. But this is NOT a comedy. Like "Transparent" .... not a comedy.I would say Dramatic Satire. Heavy on the "dramatic" :)
