Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
mOVIemAN56 Yet again Fox fails to deliver. This time it was "The Pitts", Fox's attempt at a satire. The show follows the story of a modern American family as they have terrible luck in everyday life. I guess the premise is alright, a family with bad luck struggling through life. The main problem with the show is that it tries way to hard. None of it is believable no matter how hard it tries to make it believable. Yes it was suppose to be a comedy series but still none of it made any sense.The cast isn't that bad when you look at it. Dylan Baker is a very good actor and I've liked him in a lot of stuff but in The Pitts he is terrible. Kellie Waymire (bless her soul) is equally as bad with their children not doing much better. The supporting cast around the family made me think that the producers possibly just pulled random people off the street and tried to make them do comedy. It has some of the worst acting in a cumulative way that I have ever seen for a show.Fox made a series mistake ever deciding to green light this project. Each episode was terrificly bad in its own way. The episode with the VW bus wanting to literally marry Lizzy Caplan's character stands out to me as one of the worst experiences of watching TV I have ever had. I seriously sat stunned that I had just watched the whole thing afterwards and didn't move for at least 20 minutes after. It was probably the biggest waste of time of my entire life. Trust me, if a re-run ever comes on TV run. Don't think about it, just run from your living room and don't come back for about an hour. Trust me you'll save an hour of your life..5/5 Stars
knives_out Well, I don't know what Fox was thinking. They cancel shows like Family Guy and Futurama and put The Pitts in a prime spot. Okay, perhaps it's supposed to be a commentary on bad television shows, but it doesn't do it well. At all.Oh yes, you can definitely tell this show has the writers of The Simpsons involved, specifically because the current writers of The Simpsons couldn't write a good joke to save their lives. Both the recent seasons of The Simpsons as well as The Pitts rely on cheap laughs over fart jokes, injuries and the word "ass". The laugh track is irritating and I just wanna backhand each and every one of the actors. Oh that would be so sweet.Fox needs to stop trying to create "quirky" and "nutty" shows and concentrate on holding on to quality stuff they already have.
morgashimo I am watching this show as I am writing this summary. And I just can't do it. There is no possible way I can make through an entire half an hour of this tripe. So I am giving this review after only seeing fifteen minutes. It's that Bad!
Squatchnutz I agree with everyone that the laugh track here is completely ridiculous. And the premise of the show is SOOO unoriginal, that it hasn't worked before! Does anyone remember the show "Cursed" starring Steve Weber? It was about a guy who was cursed by a gypsy and it lasted ONE episode before being changed to "The Steve Weber Show" because the creators or whoever realized that a premise of someone with consistently bad luck gets real old real fast (by the way, the Steven Weber Show was really funny) But this show is just terrible.Youd think people would get the hint after making virtual crapfests like "Aliens in the Family' Thank the sweet Sassy Malassy that the daughter is hot, it makes the show almost bearable.
