Disappointment for a huge fan!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This is my first review ever, so please bear with me.Happy Endings was a terribly underrated and under-watched show that deserves very high praise. It blows both Friends and How I Met Your Mother completely out of the water (and trust me, I love both of those shows too). Each character was unique, well-developed, and hilarious! The show has a really distinct feeling to it. It was modern in the best kind of way. Penny, Max, Brad, and Jane were definitely standout characters for me. Alex and Dave were great too, but I have to admit they were not quite as interesting as the other four. Nevertheless, this show really let us get to know each character both individually and in the group setting. Plenty of memorable guest stars helped to round out the cast.The writing is smart and funny. There are inside jokes that are recurring throughout the series. I keep finding great jokes upon multiple viewings. It's both laugh-out-loud funny and make-you-think-a- little funny. This is the one show that I would pick if I could pick any show to come back onto the air. I would even give back season 4 of Arrested Development and the Veronica Mars movie (both of which I love) for more Happy Endings*. If you haven't seen this show, watch it right away and fall in love with this amazing group of friends like I did.*EDIT: Okay, I may have been a bit over-dramatic with that statement...

I have watched the first season and I did not like this show. I only watched the whole season because of Elisha Cuthbert, but now I am starting to dislike her too. I was expecting more of the comedy but each episode is just some plot ("supposed to be humorous") but it is not. Actors also do not do justice to the characters. Looks like they overplay their part. Don't if they want to start a trend of some new words but that takes the comedy right out of it too. Dialogues are good for a drama TV series but has no comedy in them. The few and seems to be only good things about TV series is it's set and each episode has some new plot in it. The character's background sometimes seems to be confusing.

I've just read they've cancelled this which is depressing news.It's funny, well acted, great timing, lots of surreal left turns. It's just brilliant and *inspired* comedy. Even when it gets ridiculous, they don't break character, which makes it all the funnier. It doesn't MATTER that there's no overriding story arc as each episode stands alone, and each is funny. I don't see it at all as like a Friends rip off, it's far too leftfield, the only similarity with Friends is it's got a group of people who know each other in it.Yet you've poorly scripted and acted forgettable stuff with awful timing that's basically a sequence of bad slapstick and double entendres (see "two broke girls") and that's renewed? HIMYM which lost its way a while back and has another season to go? What sort of world do I live in?! :(Please some other network pick this up, it's ah-ma-zing :)

I'm actually just writing this to save this show, as it might get canceled soon. I love this show, and it SO does deserve another season! As I live in Denmark I feel really powerless, because I cannot watch it and help the ratings. I love the characters and the plots of the episodes. This show and New Girl are the best new comedy shows and I really want them to continue. The cast is excellent and the writers are amazing and I simply cannot believe the ratings are that bad. So I want to ask all that can have an influence in saving this show, to spend a little time and watch the show so it can survive. It will mean a lot to me and lots of other people. Please just watch this show and help it survive! Please...
