Great Film overall

Good concept, poorly executed.

As Good As It Gets

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.

It was amazing to see a couple let TV cameras into such private parts of their lives. I couldn't stop watching, but I also couldn't help comparing this couple's need for the spotlight to most people's idea of private business and family cohesiveness. Danny and Gretchen married on their first date, and have had trouble in their marriage from Danny's drug problem and girl chasing. This show follows both of these people through several weeks of their lives as they go to rehab and to therapy. You get to see them have real problems and try to solve them, and you soon almost feel like a voyeur as you realize that these people are not like the rest of us in their need for attention (and perhaps money). It is fascinating stuff, but I can't believe that having your private life exposed this way could be good for your marriage.

I really loved the first season and I'm looking forward to season 2. For those who post these negative comments, you need to realize that this show is just for entertainment purposes and should be viewed as such. I, for one, found the show to have a certain quality of production that surpassed that of the other reality type shows. (i.e. Brady). I can only hope that season two has that same type of production quality. Either way, I'm going to watch it, as I'm sure most of you will.Also, for you fans out there. I found a website for Gretchen's new clothes line. It's pretty cool and I'm going to order something today. it's www.bonaduce.biz

Maybe it's because Danny got me through many a morning drive in hideous rush-hour traffic (STAR 98.7), but I feel for this guy. I feel even more for his family. This is a guy who's been through some serious pain in his life. He's always been very open and honest about his life on his radio program, but that's what made him so real and unpretentious. Most of us can't identify with that, and yet we stand to make segment's on it. I keep watching, rooting that he will pull through.It's sad that people who don't really have a clue (Yea buddy, his name isn't Dante "Danny" Bonaduce. Dante is is son.) are commenting.I only wish he and his family the best.

First off, I don't usually watch reality TV shows. However, I was always intrigued by Danny. As an adult, he always came across as funny and glib, and not at all whiny like a lot of the former child stars you see who blame their parents and the industry for their drug & alcohol addictions and deviant behavior.How real is the show though? Obviously, Danny has a lot of inner demons and addictions to work out. I get the feeling though that a lot of the show is fake, due to the cameras following him around, and the pressure to make his life seem more chaotic than it might really be. Let's face it. If he worked out his problems in 3-4 therapy sessions, the show would be boring. People watch the show to see the "train wreck." Previews already show him shooting himself up with steroids, and going into a "roid" rage in the streets.Danny is a professional actor. The more crazy and dramatic he acts, the more people will be intrigued to watch his show week after week. I don't deny that we partially see the real Danny, but who knows if he ups the ante on the dramatics to hook in the viewers.I would be interested to hear what other think about BREAKING BONADUCE.JG
