A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

My husband and I just don't get why people need to be so very negative! This show is hilarious and is taped in front of a LIVE audience. It's clean, imagine that! We think it's great that Mark F. created a sitcom where, according to him, the stories are based on his real life. All the actors/characters have chemistry and are funny! Nick the concierge fella is a hoot! Come on people...give it a chance. It is not supposed to be an Academy Award show...just a fun sitcom to watch and laugh with.

If you like a clean, funny show with people you can identify with, I invite you to watch 9JKL, a new TV series. Elliott Gould (Monica's father in "Friends," - Linda Lavin - a long-term and well loved actress for decades and Mark Feuerstein someone I had never known before but am a follower now, star in this show. The Concierge of the apartment building is so hilarious, he's welcome in any scene. The show, that is getting unfair criticism does not have a racial or sexual note to it, and the highly talented Gould and Lavin should have the title of "starring" as they both carry much weight of the series. This show is typical of family antics and how well they are played out by the cast. The Asian boy in the lobby of the building is adorable. You like him from the Pilot on. The actress who played Christina in the Pilot has incredible comedy chops, but the brother and his wife who live next door leave me somewhat well - I wouldn't care if they moved. Feuerstein, Gould and Lavin make me wanting to see the next show. I tape them, then watch them over and over.

I would give this zero stars if I could. I don't know where to start - the laugh track, the actors trying way too hard to make lines that they know is crap sound funny, and the ridiculous setup (for example, why is there a smart aleck kid in the lobby in what I assume will be every episode?) are all awful. I don't know what CBS was thinking even allowing something this horrible to be on the air. Heck, I know nothing about working in broadcasting but I know I can come up with a premise better than this show. Imagine my (and probably everyone else's since it looks like the vast majority of people hate this show) surprise when CBS ordered an additional 3 episodes of this terrible show. I wish they would put us viewers out of our misery and cancel this poor excuse for a sitcom.

This show was slow at first, but it grew on me as I started to understand the characters of the show.I like where it has the potential to go. It is not a never before seen the type of show, but it is one that you could really like and look forward to on a boring Monday of watching.
