Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
studioAT Matthew Perry hasn't had a lot of luck since 'Friends' ended. It's not for the want of trying. 'Studio 60' failed due to script issues, 'Mr Sunshine' wasn't given enough time by ABC, and 'Go On' felt too much like 'Community' to last. But to Perry's credit they were all shows that tried to be different.It's strange then that 'The Odd Couple' is the only one to make it to season 2 and beyond, because it's as unashamedly retro as you can get.Perry makes a convincing Oscar, and is ably supported by Thomas Lennon, who steals most of the scenes he is in. There's an all-star writing team behind the cameras, and a decent supporting cast in front too, so while this show will never be a classic in the way that 'Friends' was, it's a solid enough sitcom.I've seen that the ratings for Season 3 have been quite low, so I think sadly it might not be long before Matthew Perry has to look around for another show once more.
spamerski55 I am not here to vote for the show, although if I were it would be 4. I was just watching the last episode, the scene where Felix plays marionette to Emily and he asks her if she wants to try out new Serbian restaurant - A taste of Srebrenica? At first I couldn't believe my eyes so I stopped the show and replayed the scene and I saw it once again - so here I am asking the producers what kind of sick joke was that??? Do you happen to know that Serbian army committed the genocide in Srebrenica, and killed 8000 people there? refer to http://www.britannica.com/event/Srebrenica-massacre for more information, in the meantime i will start boycotting your show
awesomeartdigital After seeing the first Season my vote is a 3 because I think the creators intentions are well, However, while at times I got a few chuckles it is very different, I suppose for a younger generation who have not seen or grew up watching the original this just maybe something they like as many of the gags and jokes will cater to this generation. While I like Perry and Lennon I really don't feel they are suited for these roles. As actors they naturally need to make the characters their own, Perry tries to hard at times and that's when he fails and falls short. Perry in my opinion does not play a good Oscar and Lennon while he is decent does not play a good Felix. I tried this and gave it a chance, its OK but its not for me, So I will stick with Jack Klugman and Tony Randall as I have all the original UN-edited episodes on DVD.
Michael Thompson America has managed some superbly crafted TV series. In no order of merit, Hill Street Blues, L.A Law, E.R. and NYPD Blue. So, what happened,,,,,here ?????.Someone has managed to take the superbly written Odd Couple, by Neil Simon, and turn it into the biggest load of shallow junk I've ever struggled with, I say struggled, because I truly wanted to like it, and I am also amazed that Mathew Perry is involved with the production of this series.?????I don't need to tell mature film fans, that the original Odd Couple movie is a classic. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau hit the nail right on the head. Thanks to the genius script writing of Neil Simon.I honestly cannot understand why Mathew Perry wanted any part of this garbage?????If American can touch base with superb human drama's as above, why cant they do the same with comedy.???????. Mathew Perry, you are acting your heart out with what amounts to shallow junk......
