One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

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.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I really love this show. I just started watching it tonight but I love it so much. I love the humor and that Katie doesn't give a damn about what anyone else thinks. I also like how theory use the small town as a humor point as well. I also enjoy that they are proud of their daughter who doesn't always fit in. I want to be like Katie when I am a mom someday! They are a loving and very fun family to watch for sure!

I live in Istanbul and it plays here on Digiturk, so I occasionally watch it when there is absolutely nothing else on. I kept hoping that it would get better and the mother would evolve, but it never happens. I cringe when I think about Turkish people watching this show and thinking this is the typical American mother because she most certainly is not. Brash, hateful, mean spirited, vengeful......I could go on and on. She lacks any kind of compassion or understanding and comes across as narcissistic and self- deprecating. She is constantly yelling at her children and thinks she is teaching them worthy life lessons by showing very little understanding when dealing with them. She seems to think a tough attitude will instill positive life lessons. Almost everything she does for her family, she does with the attitude that everyone should be grateful. Her husband tolerates her bad attitude without ever showing any irritation. Can you say wimp or is he simply a saint? Either way, it's very annoying. The children keep this show from being a total failure and it is much easier to relate to them. Otherwise, this show would be a total flop. I'm surprised it has lasted beyond the first few episodes. Nothing funny about this mean mommy.

I am watching the season premiere of this show and I am laughing my assoff as we speak they truly are the average American family I have a crush on Katie mixxion but that's just part of the joy I get from watching this show I adore the way she handles things shes unruly and hilarious and you want to see the family succeed and isn't that why we watch TV for characters like this that we can see ourselves in and not feel guilty for laughing at and just have a good time

The show is so negative about everything. The mother is probably the worst example a child could have, not counting mothers who are criminals. She is rude, hateful, self-loathing, and thinks it is wrong to try and get along with people. It's one of those shows you don't want your children to watch, while it's tolerable to watch during re-run season.
