Such a frustrating disappointment

Strong and Moving!

Admirable film.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I really like the characters. I think they are perfectly cast, but I get depressed watching it because it never has a happy ending for Chris. No matter what he does, it doesn't turn out right. If Chris Rock's life was really like that, I'm surprised he could even get out of bed. It could have really been funny, but let the kid come out a winner sometime!

The comedy is, and without exaggeration of mine, perfect. It has pretty well-made black people jokes that just are really funny, nothing unexpected from Chris Rock. The characters are acted by good actors, they perform in a way I don't know how worse it would be if it was from other ones. It's a good sitcom (situation comedy), thus, there will obviously be funny situations, which is the case. It also knows how to suddenly go from a funny vibe to an emotional vibe.A nice show you will laugh at because, surprise surprise, it's funny.

I remember watching the first couple seasons of "Everybody Hates Chris" and i thought the sitcoms was a cross between "The Wonder Years" and "Malcolm in the Middle". It reminded me of "The Wonder Years" since it was set in a nostalgic period, the early 80s and Chris Rock, who created the show and whose real-life experiences contributed to the scripts also served as the show's narrator while Tyler James Williams played the younger version of the popular comedian. It also reminded me of "Malcolm in the Middle" since Tichina Arnold's portrayal of Rochelle resembles Jane Kaczmarek's Lois. Both are strict disciplinarians who yell at their children a lot. As for former NFL player Terry Crews, who plays Julius, the father, he was more of a worry wart than Bryan Cranston's Hal, especially when it came to things about money. He also had several jobs throughout the show, including one episode when he came home from work smelling like a fish. The other young actors on the show, Tequan Richmond, Imani Hakim and Vincent Martella did an outstanding job in their roles. I also remember Chris' frequent battles with the bully Caruso as well as appearances by guest stars such as Jason Alexander and Whoopi Goldberg. "Everybody Hates Chris" was loved by the viewing audience for four years and was the last successful UPN sitcom before the network merged with The WB and became the CW.

(Tyler James Williams) is unbearable, No, he is too unbearable, and I'll tell you why. He has so little charisma, zero comic talent and huge amount of publicity ! It's devastating when you found great deal of people madly in love with the show without even watching any of it !!!!! And it's more devastating when they already watched it and just pretend to love it in order not to feel different or embarrassed ! It has some merits : fast pace, kind of good characters, no laugh track, original funny title, plus what a big homage for the 1980s it is.Yet I didn't understand (and I will not !) the stubborn red photography ?? That was something I really hated in shows like (Relic Hunter - 1999), then it was so provocative in another sitcom like (The Bernie Mac Show - 2001) ?? I don't get it !. Some of the character were just pure caricature but with exaggerator acting it became bad caricature (the father's actor). Moreover the narration of (Chris Rock) OHHHHH this is annoying to the max. Sometimes you have some comedian who is so impressive in country and so failure in another. So mainly I think (Rock)'s popularity as a comedian got something to do in America only. I hated him in (Bad Company), he was the worst of (Lethal Weapon 4), and I couldn't stand (Down to Earth) to end it in the first place, so eventually (Williams)'s silliness could be so truthful and expressing after all ! In fact (Tyler James Williams) has remarkable face as a sad, deeply grieved kid, OK, but that doesn't allow him to be IN A COMEDY ?! Even some of real good situations had been ruined by his frozen features and the totally unfunny performance of him. God.. It is more than obvious how he is not droll or even trying to ?!! I'll stop watching because the whole matter became too irritating to stand.
