FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
SnoopyStyle Jimmy Martino (John Stamos) is a fifty-something self-obsessed womanizing bachelor and hot restaurant owner. He is surprised by Gerald Kingsley (Josh Peck) who tells him that he's his son. Sara Kingsley (Paget Brewster) was Jimmy's girlfriend over twenty years ago. Gerald has a new daughter Edie. The mother is Gerald's platonic friend Vanessa (Christina Milian). Gerald is in love with her but she sees him only as a friend.John Stamos has charms to spare. The cast is perfectly fine. However, the material is strictly standard network sitcom material. There is nothing terrible other than the constant stream of traditional sitcom writing. It is functional entertainment but nothing original.
Charles Ray As someone who enjoyed John Stamos in 'Full House,' I wasn't expecting to like him in 'Grandfathered.' After all, how in the world, I thought, could he pull it off? Well, in the first place, I'm someone who resisted the title 'grandfather' until I held that first grandchild in my arms, and, I went through a few marriages before I realized that I really could settle down, so I guess I identified with his reluctant transition. In addition, let's face it, the guy's a great performer. Paget Brewster is great too - and after watching her in 'Criminal Minds,' I would never have thought she could pull off a comedic role. Hilarious situations, great dialogue, and accomplished cast all come together to make this a keeper sitcom for the 2015 season.
Aktham Tashtush Well another comedy by Fox along with the grinder and looking to reserve a slot between the Hit Brookline Nine-Nine and the Last man on earth ... it got "as always" a new fresh original plot .. the script seemed fine with more than a couple of laughable moments.The chemistry between John Stamos and Josh Peck is noticeably delightful and tempting to keep on watching and crossing the line there's Paget Brewster whom i really love.Daniel Chun is a really talented young writer and he thrived on Simpsons and now making a really creative show with a catchy story.The show overall is Okay and it is recommended to be watched but still need to know what the situation would be on Fox as not all shows survive on the network as they ordered 3 episodes and with possibility to double it but that is still not a clear picture of the show future.
Bob-45 While the Runyonesque plot of responsibilities of parenthood reforming a rascal go back least as far as "Little Miss Marker" (1934), thanks to a brilliant cast and solid dialog, "Grandfathered" still manages to mine gold from an old mine. Great one-liners and a little sex in the form of luscious Christina Milian, this is the funniest mix of sharp humor and sex since the premiere of "The Big Bang Theory". The satire is comparable to last year's underrated "Selfie"; however, both the casting and even-ness of it is closer to "Big Bang". While Josh Peck's character is written as a bit too annoyingly backward and Milian's as eye-candy for adolescent boys, Stamos has never been more appealing and Paget Brewster seems capable of carrying the show alone. I can hardly wait for the next episode; and I have not said that since "Selfie" departed.
