Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

ravenwood62 This series and Elon Gold were being HYPED as "the next big thing" in sitcoms for NBC. Well, they weren't. Dennis Farina was terribly miscast as the father in-law. He just seemed so uncomfortable and out of place here. The term, "Private 'convo' time!" was supposed to become the "Dyno-mite!" catch phrase of the 21st Century. Well, it wasn't. People were asking then, as they still are today (When his name comes up.), "Who the hell is Elon Gold?" I saw him on an episode of "The Mentalist" this evening. I mentioned his name, and my girlfriend asked, "Who?" Not funny. Total waste of airtime. NBC had really HIGH hopes for this show, but it just fell flat.

Victor Field "FHM"'s preview of the 2002-03 US TV season dubbed "In-Laws" the pick of the new batch of comedies, "Fastlane" the pick of the dramas, and predicted that "8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter" and "Hack" would have a rough time surviving. As American viewers will testify, the daughter and the cabbie are coming back for seconds, whereas the axe fell on the aforementioned sure bets. (Though to be fair, they were right about "Push, Nevada" and "The Grubbs.")"Fastlane" was moved by Sky from 9:30 Fridays to midnight on Saturdays, while "In-Laws" was dumped in the early morning and 3:30am slots by Paramount Comedy Channel, never a good sign for a first-run show (the same fate greeted "What About Joan" and "Kristin"). And let's face it, it deserved it - the set-up (young couple living with her parents) is predictable and so are most of the situations; you have to feel for Dennis Farina and the rest of the cast, who do try hard with their material... but this is way out of its time. (Apparently it's "Based on the stand-up comedy of Elon Gold." Come again?) Even "Girlfriends" (also from Kelsey Grammer's company) is preferable. I'd feel the same even if Dennis Farina's character wasn't called Victor.

b_oosterwyk Tonight was premiere night and I was actually looking forward to this new comedy on NBC. Jean Smart and Dennis Farina are very funny veterans and two talented newcomers seemed to be primed for success. Unfortunately, there were only moments of clever dialogue interwoven in tired old re-hashed stories with predictable outcomes. All in all, the first two episodes, which were both aired tonight, didn't leave me wanting more. I'll give it a few more shows, however I see this being canceled by the middle of the second season if not sooner unless serious revamps occur.

gsas82 This show rocks! It's a great concept which will undoubtedly open itself up to some hysterical story lines, as long as the writers don't resort to goofy misunderstandings in the vein of "Three's Company." The well-built cast shows great promise to emerge as tv's newest powerhouse, as Smart and Farina bring some much-needed intelligence to a tv schedule packed with inane 20-somethings.
