ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Ploydsge just watch it!
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.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
SnoopyStyle Mia (JoAnna Garcia) and Maddie (Jennifer Finnigan) are sisters. Joel (Kurt Fuller) and Vicky Putney (Debra Jo Rupp) are their loving parents. Mia is dating Casey (Jake Lacy) in a passionate relationship. Maddie is dating Ben (Josh Cooke) in a steady, slow-burning relationship.The three relationships form different variations on the same theme. They all love each other. The relationships are the key to this show. It's a hit and miss show. Not all the situations in this sitcom is necessarily that funny. It does work enough for a full season but not good enough to renew.
Hugo Silva I gave this a 9 out of 10, which is really good considering Modern Family cant reach this rating. But the reason this is such an awesome show, is because every time I watch it, the actors can make me laugh out loud, no joke. It has Excellent Writing, Excellent Acting, and damn good directing. I have absolutely no complains. The structure of the episodes are really good, they always start and finish with a smooth ice breaking joke that makes me laugh.Excellent, it deserves more than 6,5.Also, I have to give a shout to Jake Lacy, you're so convincing. Casey never stops amazing me with his both randomness and sometimes stupidity.9/10.
dmc1208 I first watched this because I was channel surfing and didn't recognize the name. Now I make time to watch this great show. It reminds me of 'the old sitcoms' that made me laugh so much. I don't need an intricate plot or running back story to be entertained by a sitcom, I just want the actors to be good and to have some great dialogue. Better with You delivers on these. The premise of viewing relationships from 3 different points of view is fantastically funny, particularly when you're watching the show with your partner and trying to decide which couple you are most like. The ladies definitely drive the comedy of the show, with the men being the foils. Josh Cooke is hilarious as the 'OMG she's dating a musician' boyfriend, and, of course, Debra Jo Rupp is brilliant as the Mom who always has the perfect one liner. I would definitely recommend this show.
LeonardOsborneKael Wow! What a fun show. I've been a fan of Jennifer Finnigan from her outstandingly entertaining work in a guest-starring role on Crossing Jordan and through her first sitcom. I'm pleasantly surprised to find that the entire cast is equally sharp in this new offering! About the rarest thing to find in a new sitcom is a freshness of approach and "Better With You" definitely has it. Oh, the scripts are not revolutionary -- after all, it is a sitcom about modern couples living in the city. But they are fresh, unpredictable, and absorbing. There is a sure hand on this very polished comedic work and it's great to see top-notch actors wring laugh after laugh out of truly engaging material. In all the best sitcoms, the comedy springs from character -- clearly everyone on either side of the camera knows this and knows how to deliver it.
