Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

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.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

chopde1093 I thought it to be an average show but when i followed through it the season i am glad i did it. As it is a very clever show and the way all the characters perform is brilliant....even the lighting's are not like a young show.they are deliberately put in the times as according to the ages....its just a show about 3 people one is a car salesman, other an actor who is out of work and last one is a divorced one with a party shop owner.... Now it tells about there daily problems, stuff they have to deal with and transition in their lives but there friendship stays and grows.... scott bakula - terry eliot is the best in this series and u will just love it.....this is a very nice show ...and also u wont be disappointed in it if u see for urself....as it covers all aspects....

mbarkr And I mean that in a good way.It's painful for me to see what these guys go through, them and their families. This is life, folks.A good buddy of mine called this a humorous show. I think it is more fair to call it a hu-morose show. It has humor, definitely. But it is also morose. The feelings of despair and hope and love and hate and everything else that you get in life - this show depicts. And they do it well.I AM 40. I HAVE gone through a divorce. I was a Step Parent for 10 years. There are times you DO feel trapped and wish your life had been different. But you keep keeping on. You do your absolute BEST with the hand that you, and fate, has given you.You persevere. Because that's what you do. That's what life is.This show gives you that. The actors, the writers, the music - it all combines very well. There are times it so close to home, you almost have to turn it off - and you get that tight feeling in your chest that we all get when life kicks you in the gut.If you can handle that - this show is something you must watch.If you can't handle it, or maybe just don't want to use your "TV-Watching-Time" on something that will do that to you - then skip it.I count myself in the first category. I am invested in the life of these characters, because they truly ARE us.

dataconflossmoor I am of Italian descent, and in Hollywood, we are the poor man'a bevy of creativity. We do have a couple of halfway decent directors, Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorcesse, they aren't as good as any Jewish director, right? Such a situation may pertain to the show "Men of a Certain Age" The format is very intriguing. The premise being, "I still have plenty of sex appeal even though I am over 50, don't I? To which the person required to respond to that question, retorts "How much money do you have in your pocket?" The whole genre is set up whereby sexual ambiguity is the assassin which rattles the resolve of a couple of sedentary and assertively middle age reprobates! This rancor coerces them to retrench into a metaphorically fetal position! Now enters the fiasco of being timid and taciturn one moment, and loquacious and intrepidly lewd the next! Theatrics of this nature definitely establish a formidable state of flux for the "one a day" casual dating scene! This show jumps around, and obsesses on unofficial ground rules which only make casual dating infinitely more difficult. The episode I saw last night had Ray Romano's date receiving a cell phone call from the bar, from a friend of hers, to give the verdict on her blind date, She said the guy (Ray Romano) was "sexy". After thorough rumination of this entire scenario, I just want to say one thing; Over 50!! Sexy? Women are going to have to explain that one to me. Ray Romano wound up with a cut under his eye, it is almost as if his insecurities to mid-life crisis dating have the ability to physically bludgeon him!! I like what I saw, however,I think the dialog should be more acrimonious! Also, there should be a largess of fatalistic repercussions which rear their ugly head far more emphatically, and with it, they should contain a wealth of abominable consequences!! In the episode I saw, everything was extremely mollified! This series is funny! Scott Bakula ("Quantum Leap") and Andre Baugher, are very cohesive on this show!! Nevertheless, "Men of a Certain Age" could be funnier!! Then again, what do you expect? The director is Catholic!! How does the expression go? He's more nervous than a television stand-up comic on a Jewish holiday!!

Greatornot I have to admit, I did not think Ray Romano can pull this off. 3 middle aged men on the brink of 50, HS pals going thru life's trials and tribulations. This is a most creative offering and refreshing. The casting is great. Ray Romano is himself a divorced man with 2 kids , rounding off this clique , you had Andre Baugher , happily married, and eternally young skirt chaser Scott Bakula of Quantum Leap fame. This was realistic with none of the added silliness of some TV for shock effect.There was no laugh track,which only adds to the realism. Certainly this program was more drama than comedy. Ray Romano, though not a great comedian, is elevated by the rest of this cast as he was in ELR. Ray Romano is the Bob Newhart of today, and thats not a bad thing. This is a tasteful program that truly does delve into everyday situations. If I have one criticism , I would like to see a little more comedy . Overall , This is still a wonderful effort and worth watching. Just make sure , you are optimally alert or the show can pass you by.
