Pretty Good

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Admirable film.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

So I started to watch the show with good spirits(yes a slightly tipsy and ready for some good comic entertainment)...but as I went on further to watch a few more episodes I started to sober up. How? Because this show is made for a mindless nut who has nothing better to do. No real ideas in the show. It's just absolutely absurd as waiting for Godot. Who wrote this script? The situations on the show are mind numbing and silly. I think it was made for and by a 5 year old. Where is this show trying to fit itself really? So they covered the basics like 3 dudes a girl and an apartment clubbed either ridiculous situations clubbed with a romance between the main character and a fellow apartment resident. So you got all the ingredients that a show should have...but unfortunately it has no direction and is nothing but absurd and a real joke of a show. End story- definitely not worth your time. You may make it through 2 episodes but once you go further it gets dumber and dumber till your brain hurts.

The concept isn't terrible, a few of the jokes are decent, and the acting is all over the place. What is really sad is that this show has no ideas. Every week they just get in ridiculous amount of trouble that any normal person would find a way to avoid, and they've already been repeating themselves halfway through the first season. For example, in the pilot episode, Cooper and his buddies have their TV stolen. They track it down to a house where some sketchy guys live and try to steal it back, but Cooper gets caught and kidnapped. In exchange for getting Cooper back, they have to give the guys an expensive brand new TV. A few episodes later, Cooper gets his phone stolen. They track it down to a sorority house where a party is going on. Cooper's brother is in his brand-new SUV and encounters the teenagers who stole the phone. They steal his clothes and set his new SUV on fire. There are some small differences, but these two episodes are almost exactly the same plot. In fact, if you break it down, almost every episode has a similar story arc. You can expect at some point in every episode they're going to tick off a dangerous person and either end up running for their lives or getting punched in the face. In fact, in the episode that's on right now they just ticked off their landlord and he shot a hole in the ceiling.

Based on the previews, I thought this was a scripted version of Jack Ass. A couple months later, I noticed it on Hulu, and decided to give it a look. Color me surprised. Not only is it not in the least like Jack Ass, it's a pretty well written comedy that, while not really breaking new ground, does a very good job of repackaging elements in an entertaining way that feels fresh. The first, and so far, only, episodes have been a nice treat after a long day.Wow. Apparently, my review isn't long enough, so I'll risk blocking by trying to expand it, without adding anything more. Why? Because I think I pretty much summed it up. Surprisingly good show.

In the style of too many FOX sit-coms to count (some successful, some not) this one stands out for the fact that it has the same formula (outsider/goofball talking to the camera & giving voice-overs throughout, bumbling side-kicks, token non-threatening black friend and fast-paced editing) but goes to show how bad this formula is when you don't add good actors and writers as part of the variables. Not since "Sons of Tucson" have I seen something so painfully bad from FOX that it makes me wonder whose favor was called in to get this on the air. In sum, this show will be lucky if it outlives the time it takes me to hit "submit" for this article to when it goes live.
