Lack of good storyline.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

I stumbled upon Friends with Better Lives accidentally one night while my Netflix was not working and instantly fell in love. The character dynamics are phenomenal and the sense of humour is on point with the emerging adult generation. The show tends to get away with saying and showing things that are not often found on network television, which is off-putting in the best way. Pop culture references, such as The Good Wife and Fruit Roll-Ups filled me with joy. However, a lot of the jokes and scenes are actually lessened by the featured laugh track. While writers and producers probably assume that the laugh track would intensify the humour, it did the opposite, which is quite disappointing. All in all, I love this show, and it's very disappointing to find out it was cancelled after just 5 episodes.

I love this show. Why are they canceling it? The cast is made up of funny and great actors. I love this show. :( CBS has lots of shows I can't stand. Cancel some of those reality shows instead. We live reality. I want to watch funny. Cancel one of those. I'm so sad. James Van Der Beck and Kevin Connolly are a great combination. And I love the control freak chick that goes to strip clubs and doesn't care what people think. I'm so sad. Don't cancel... I've never seen James Van Der Beck play such an innocent guy part. Well not since Dawson's Creek. They have him a newly single Dr that doesn't know how to date. And Kevin Connolly is a doll.

My boyfriend and I were sitting watching the premiere after the finale of HIMYM and always go into new shows with eyes open since you never know. We ended up liking it and laughing the whole time. You have your newly single divorced guy who is living with his best friend who he also works with. Who is also married with one child and another on the way. Then there is your super single girl who has dry sarcasm and pretty much a great outlook on the tough world of dating. (and she helps the newly divorced James Van Der Beek meet women) Then there is your typical newly engaged couple that have only known each other for a few weeks of actual dating. Kevin Connelly is great, he has had some good one-liners the last few episodes and also my boyfriend loved Brooklyn Decker for the eye candy alone and found the vegan episode where she houses the cheeseburger hysterical. This could go either way this season (stay together or break up) We ended up liking it and hope its a CBS keeper for the fall. All in all we hope it stays.

I whole-heartedly disagree with those that term this show adult humor. Most of my friends are educated and are tired of the juvenile, gutter humor that has infested every network comedy. To these writers, comedy means try to be more vulgar than anyone else. Two weeks off the air (which will be soon) and this show will be totally forgotten. The women characters are especially reprehensible. Why any actress would agree to portray women of such low moral character is beyond me. Oh! I get it, it is so they will be considered for the next network piece of trash. I don't know who any of these actors are, except JVB, and I don't suppose I will ever hear of anything they will ever do in the future. This is not comedy, it is tragedy. It's another sign that insults and humiliation have replaced humor in our society. My only advice to the cast of this lowest-level garbage is that they need to be Actors With Better Agents.
