At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Katie Wendelson (Briga Heelan) has been stuck producing puff pieces on MMN's The Breakdown with flighty Portia Scott-Griffith (Nicole Richie). After a friend's funeral, her Jersey mom Carol (Andrea Martin) is inspired to chase after her dreams and gets a job as difficult anchor Chuck Pierce (John Michael Higgins)'s intern on Katie's show. Greg Walsh (Adam Campbell) is the show's producer and Justin (Horatio Sanz) is the editor.Creator Tracey Wigfield comes from writing and producing 30 Rock. This is a similar show but a step down. The lead Briga Heelan is a pretty woman with some comedic skills. Of course, she is no Tina Fey. Veterans Andrea Martin and John Michael Higgins deliver some solid wackiness. This is good network sitcom but it is nothing compared to 30 Rock. Even the addition of Tina Fey cameo does nothing to elevate it further. Two half seasons is not a bad run for this type of shows.

This regurgitation of "30 Rock" is to that show what "Sons of Tucson" was to "Malcolm in the Middle". The attempt at the same formula is very apparent; quick paced camera shots, incidental music, the host of former mediocre walk-ons from Saturday Night Live as writers and Jane Krakowski's vapid, blonde starlet character being played by Nicole Ritchie (probably the only one on the show who actually punches above her weight here). After you get over the initial "Hey! I remember that person from that OTHER show!" novelty feeling, there really is nothing left to look forward to, since the dialogue, humor and overall concept is just unimpressive. And it's not like I WANT this show to fail; I really liked 30 Rock and Andrea Martin was one of the funniest people on the planet...back in the early 80's. But she, like Tina Faye and her humor, just don't seem to realize that times change, and we're not going to settle for "seconds" from a meal that's gone cold.

My mistake was that I didn't. I thought that I was being too hard on a joke that missed its mark by a mile, so I kept going. Within another minute or two I regretted having continued. The jokes are cringe-worthy. While I managed to sit through the entire show, I took it off my DVR scheduling immediately following. Although I enjoy (with varying degrees) the 3 shows in the lineup before this, it is simply not worth staying around. Tina Fey was the draw for me, enjoying most of her other work, but the show failed to make me crack a smile even once.

It's not going to win an Emmy or anything, but it's a lot of fun to watch. This isn't a turn-off-your-brain comedy either. It's clever. You have to be paying attention to catch all the jokes. My only disappointment is that season 1 is only 10 episodes. I'm looking forward to season to next year.
