ThiefHott Too much of everything
2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
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.
chrisdye-27423 I have been watching this show off and on for the past three seasons and I must say while I haven't seen this as very family friendly it was sure as hell a lot of enjoyment I have sometimes laughed so hard I almost cried the kids are hilarious together and the adults are fun too as long as you can take mature sexual humor and swearing you should have a tremendous time with the parkers just remember this a show about family and its damn sure not for family just keep this in mind when watching
Anonymous I stumbled across this show, and I'm so glad! It's hilarious! There is an over-arcing plot in the police station at the beginning of each episode (which is the only part I'm not 100% happy with, I'm not sure where they're going with it or how it adds to the shows development), but each episode is really funny overall.The writing is fantastic. I really like the way it all comes together, and can't think of a single episode I didn't like.However - I have a favorite - I suggest any newcomers start with Season 2 Episode 3 - it is the funniest, grossest episode so far.Start there, and then go to the beginning and binge! There's no laugh track, the writing is quick and funny, the actors mesh well and even the kids have some really good lines (as opposed to just being a foil to the adults).Definitely worth the time.
gnoroks I gave it ten because I found it so refreshing. If one has tried to watch most of the other new comedies that have come out recently like "Kevin can wait" and "Man with a Plan" and find them mostly unwatchable you may agree. The Detour may be pretty stupid sometimes but at least it's funny. I mean really funny. I watched the entire first season in a short period of time and I am ready for more. It is a bit raunchy at times so if you are sensitive to raunchiness just change the channel. I found something "laugh out loud" funny in every episode. Usually many times per episode. Natalie Zea is great in this. Normally she just gets a couple of lines in a show but here she is a main character, so you get to see her a lot. Not appropriate for your Mom or your kids so enjoy!
the giant This is a great comedy. The wit is very sharp and there are laugh out loud moments in every episode. You can definitely see the influence of Sam Bee and Jason Jones style humour in here. Even the kids are well cast and have funny lines.Sure not all aspects of the plot are realistic....but what comedy ever does realistic? the plot is there to set up the jokes, and it does that very well.Funniest show I've seen in a long time. well done.
