Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
btadcock I don't care for the direction the show has taken. Sleeping with psychologist, turning Fred Savage and his marriage into a joke not in a fun way. This is just my thoughts and prior to this I wouldn't miss the show. Not as entertaining now. Fred Savage's character is intelligent but with the new direction Dad has no faith in him. Grinder was conceded and an ego maniac, but he was funny now he is just stupid doesn't know he's be taken advantage of. Fred Savage's character has his kid's and wife looking at him like he's an idiot. Rob Lowe's character is trying to tell Fred Savage's character how to improve his sex life. Why not have Rob Lowe's character be in training and make fun of the mistake that he makes. Fix Rob Lowe's character up with girl in the office.
xeta prime I put this show off from watching. Why? IDK. I loved Rob in You Me/Apocalypse . I've always liked him as well as Fred Savage. Something about this and Grandfathered put me off. Maybe I should give Grandfathered a shot now. It's a lot of fun! Seriously as others have said there are laugh out loud moments and you know- they don't come along often.My only issue might be and correct me if I'm wrong- The Grinder series ran for 8 seasons. But it seems the family is only discovering it now. Am I wrong? I might be as I started watching with some vino if you know what I mean. That said: Lots of fun! Family fun! What a surprise! I love surprises especially on a show I hadn't even given a chance. This is after 3 episodes. The first hooked me and I it was unexpected so- cool beans :)
drjgardner I enjoyed the pilot but thought I'd wait for a few episodes before reviewing. Often the pilot is the best episode you're going to see, so I don't like to jump in too soon. But this series just keep getting better and better. Strong acting from everyone, including relative newcomer Mary Elizabeth Ellis who plays the wife. I say "relative" because with such TV staples as William Devane, Rob Lowe, and Fred Savage it's hard to steal a scene, but Ellis does a great job. Let's hope they keep up the good work.This latest episode had a guest appearance from Timothy Oliphant, one of my favorite actors ("Hitman", "Justified"). It was good fun and let's hope they have more guest appearances, perhaps from past cast members from "Parks and Recreation" or "The Wonder Years".
yerlo It helps there is no laugh track to point to funny stuff. I can find it myself, thankyou. Lowe is superb as this narcissistic, over-the-top, cheesy but still likable character--how did the writers do that? And how does Lowe pull it off? He plays it so straight! The spoof of crime dramas adds another great element, then carrying that persona into "real life' is actually believable in some weird (mystical?) way. Savage does a great job as the frustrated brother. I get him. Where has he been all these years? All other actors also do a great job. Even the kids are great. Love the whole family. Immensely enjoyable. Might take watching a couple episodes to pick up the full flavor of the humor, but worth it. And I don't have to cover the eyes or ears of kids--or my own, either. Refreshing for "modern" sitcoms that often border on porn.
