Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Michael Ledo Two diametrically opposite vice principals compete for the job as principal due to the retirement of Bill Murray because his wife has deadly melanoma cancer. Neal Gamby is one of the vice principals. He wears clip on ties and it crude and intolerant. Lee Russell is more refined as we see him wearing a bow tie and red pants. He is married, but everyone suspects him of being gay. When Dr. Belinda Brown (Kimberly Hebert Gregory) gets the job, our odd couple for an alliance to oust her. The series goes off on a lot of tangents. As for the course classroom topics reflect what is on the screen and adults mimic the same issues as teens and handle them in the same immature fashion. In spite of what is good s\writing for a TV program, much of the comedy is uneven, and the second episode spent way too much time on the vandalism and fire scene. We get them attempting to be incognito driving a Student Driver car, with the sun glasses, but it didn't come across funny primarily because the actors couldn't pull it off as a John Goodman could,,,who BTW would be perfect for the Neal Gamby role. Bill Murray gone in the first episode, Celia Weston after two. Too much is placed on Danny McBride.Belinda Brown is made fun of because of her gender and weight, but never race. Not realistic, but acceptable for HBO.Guide: F-word, sex, and nudity.
Deidra I crack up at this one throughout. The two vice principals are terrible and I can't stop laughing. Belinda is my girl! I love to hear Walter Groggins curse in this. His character is a certified loser, but no worse than Neal Gamby played by Danny McBride. Most sitcoms have messed up characters who speak in ways which are crass and have flaws. Vice Principals just takes the horrible factor a bit farther than other shows.
Sean Rae if you are longing for comedy on the same level as 'Eastbound and down' then look no further. McBride is as strong as ever, quick witted, obscene and isn't afraid to wap out the acting chops for the feels. Goggins is hilarious as the camp narcissist. One of his most offensive and downright horrible characters to date, more hatful than 'the h8ful eight' the show is full of unrealistic situations that fuel the comedy in all the right ways. Each character is unique in their own way and brings something to the table for either there own jokes or to help the chemistry with the protagonists, Gamby & Russel Can't wait for the second season for some more over the top madness.
rickdalessandris Love it, so far. Danny McBride knows how to play someone that is, technically, like most of us. Only cares about one's self. Yes, he loves his daughter but could it be in spite of his ex-wife and her new beau? Danny McBride takes Gamby into ALL ABOUT GAMBY and that is what's funny. I see an earlier review concerning the ex-wife's new guy being unbelievable but I actually find that believable. The guy actually LIKES Gamby but Gamby doesn't like him, not because he has the ex-wife but because he has something that Gamby doesn't! Gamby, obviously... doesn't even want the ex-wife! When it is all about the McBride character, a McBride series is a KEEPER. I see it is only going to be 18 episodes but I hope McBride is convinced to film new seasons.
