Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

lnoft97 Watching late night re-runs of a show I never watched, and after a week of ennui, I have to throw in the towel. I was hoping I had stumbled across a hidden gem, but boy, this thing is a disappointment. I think the cast is good, but the show is ......OK, after re-watching for quite some time, I am changing my review and opinion a little from my original all out 'bashing' review. I do like the actors, I like some of the outre dialog, it's often a bit outrageous and cleverly written. It's certainly not a show for everyone, as Christine and her brother are promiscuous, ditzy, and borderline incestuous. Plus the brother's sick relationship with their mother. And I like Wanda Sikes a lot, but she is badly miscast in this show, I don't think IRL she would be such a friend and enabler to a mess like Julia Dreyfuss portrays. The show is often quite cringe-making. (that can be fun, depending on your tolerance for watching someone make an amazing spectacle of themselves.) And it seems if I'm up awake watching in the middle of the night, I am seeing the same handful of episodes over and over and over. Maybe it wasn't on that long, but come on!

jules beremsen Someone wondered why this show has such low ratings; if you look at the demographics, you'll see that it gets the lowest ranking from over 45 year old males, which is no surprise since they have been educated in a more traditional environment and are usually very keen on their puritan values; and also, from adolescent males, which is also of no surprise, since their manhood is still fragile.This show is witty and almost addictive, not to mention the obvious comedic talent of Julia Louis Dreyfuss and the can't-do-without artistic responsiveness of Hamish Linklater.Treating this as a niche would be a mistake. Anyway, if the show gets canceled in US, I'd sincerely advise Julia Louis Dreyfuss to visit Europe.

pantheonzeus Unfortunately, neither marriage in Massachusetts or California nor a civil union in any state will provide immigration rights to same-sex couples in the short term. In the United States, immigration law is governed entirely by federal law, and in 1996 the federal government passed a law called the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which defines marriage as only between a man and a woman. Thus marriages between same sex partners, whether they take place in Massachusetts, California, Canada, or other countries which allow for such marriages will not provide any immigration benefits in the U.S.The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services have made it very clear that they will not recognize any same sex marriages. If you apply for a visa for your partner based on a same sex marriage, it will be denied. If your partner is not in lawful status, he could be placed in removal (deportation) proceedings.

buddyrichfield I think this show is great. It has the comic feel of old shows that developed likable characters instead of six people with much the same personality or a show based on one-liners. The people on this show seem like real people, instead of overblown cardboard cut-outs that are just playing verbal volleyball. I may be in the minority, but I like shows where you can relate to, rather than people with such extreme personalities that that they don't seem real. I've laughed out loud at this show, and it's been a while since a recent show did that for me. I hope it sticks around. Julia is talented, has great comic timing, and comes across as a likable person that you like spending a half hour with each week.
