Good story, Not enough for a whole film

As Good As It Gets

A Disappointing Continuation

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I love this show. It's obnoxious...because Julie & Billy are so into themselves it's unbelievable. Through all the obnoxious behavior you end up loving the characters and their struggles for finding themselves in their mid 30s. So many shows characters "find themselves" at 22...let's be real who finds themselves in their 20s. Future divorcees, maybe. If you aren't into pop culture references, don't watch it. Save it for people who are. Like me! Arthur isn't brought up in many reviews and he should be. The weird but loving names he calls Julie in each episode are enough for him to come up. I hope his character gets bigger in their next season.

The writing. The timing. The really raw sometimes deliciously offensive humor. This show, especially Season 2 is like nothing else. All the really good stuff is in the details, the small comments, the insider humor, like a great comedy for people who have been there-done that can appreciate. Wicked smart, original, and addicting. Yes, some episodes are better than others, but I defy you to match " Italian Pinata" to anything ever written in its comedic format/genre . Insanely BRILLIANT, this show. Not for the faint of heart, or the banal mind. The characters are all out there, the backdrop of the City is just perfect. Even the two Basset Hounds, with those bored little looks on their faces, add to the whole tone of this show. Billy Eichner is at his absolute BEST here and Julie, is obvi, the next big THING in comedy writing. Like a smarter Tina Fey with a dirtier mind. LOVE LOVE LOVE .

I went into this show knowing literally nothing about it. The show follows two friends Billy and Julia trying to break into show business. They dislike pretty much everyone except each other and are completely narcissistic and shallow.Both of the main characters are constantly talking trash about celebrities whom they are obviously envious of. I really enjoy how self absorbed the main characters are as I feel like it's pretty much a job requirement for a comedian or actor.Although a lot of the jokes targeting various celebrities are funny, a lot of the humor comes from the characters dropping a joke to the wrong audience. One example is the controversial Blue Ivy joke. Billy and Julia attend a dinner party hosted by some rather square friends. Julia tells a story about posting a tweet that said She can't wait for Blue ivy to be old enough for R Kelly too pee on." Everyone at the party is offended and rather than back peddling, she continues to explain the joke further. I did find that joke to be pretty funny, but I feel like the people getting offended are failing to recognize that the joke was intended to show how socially daft the main characters are as opposed to just being offensive for the sake of being offensive. There are also a ton of great guest stars including a "Sober Magician" Named Abra Cadouglas played by Kate Mckinnon who only does magic tricks that tie into her sobriety. This show is MA and takes full advantage of being able to say what it wants. Although it is edgy and no at times dark you really do emotionally connect to the characters. I foresee a long run from thus show. I am very impressed with "Difficult People" so far and look forward to seeing a long run it may not have been able to have on traditional television.

I enjoy what others consider mean or snarky comedy. When it works it's usually due to a very smart and quick wit that I find hilarious, the producer Amy Poehler has this in spades, but it sadly didn't translate to this show. I know you can't hit with every line, but on this show they were lucky if you could get even a snicker for 1 out of 10 attempts.About halfway through the pilot I realized what this show was attempting to be and for those that were looking for the same thing you'll be glad to know season 2 of 'You're The Worst' starts soon.BTW...I thought the R Kelly joke was hilarious.
