A brilliant film that helped define a genre

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

You can tell a show is doomed when they change the name after the first episode has aired. Why even bother? Just cancel it now and save us the agony of watching the show die! Another sign of doom is that they change the theme song. And, of course, strike three is that Chris Elliott was in it (and as a doctor?!?). Steve Weber is a capable actor and we can never see enough of Amy Pietz.But I agree with the language comment. I think it's time for an "L" rating to count the number of garbage words in a show. Too bad we don't have writers and producers who know how to produce quality entertainment.

I know I'm in the minority, but I kind of liked Cursed/ The Weber Show. I think Steven Weber is a fine actor and very funny. Cursed was nowhere near as great at Weber's last sitcom, Wings (which was truly an unappreciated gem, IMHO) but it had some good moments, and I think that if it had a little more work, it could have had potential. I also thought it was funnier than that awful Friends!

I have to say, having this bit of dribble replace must see tv's Frasier was incredibly disappointing. I love Steven Weber and I had high hopes for this show, but the humour is not only childish, it's just plain dumb. The show is not funny. Chris Elliot is normally a riot but his character is so stupid and so annoying (and the fact that someone so moronic is a doctor doesn't add anything), he makes watching the show unbearable. A name change and a lesbian character couldn't save the show. The best part was the theme song by Liz Phair (which was dropped when the show went from Cursed to the Weber Show). Too bad.

I like practically everyone involved with this show, especially the mesmerizingly odd Chris Elliot and Amy Pietz, about the sexiest thing on two legs. And Weber is the perfect stone-faced star, especially considering what keeps happening to him (ala Keaton, Buster).The show has promise, but its potty-mouth dialog is tedious and tired. And aside from Elliot, the laughs are thin and far between.This year, I down-grade any show that uses a-- (what happened to "bottom," "hinder," "fanny" "back-side," et. al.?). It's a touchstone for childish writing. The premier already set a record as I actually lost count.
