Best movie ever!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

It's a highly polarizing show, but as a comedy show, it's brilliant. If you want laughs, this is where to go.I've read all the reviews here and people have been rating it poorly due to a weak pilot (I'll admit it was weak), cliché characters (they are) and lack of story arc/character development.This is a comedy, not a light drama. I watch it to laugh, not to see characters develop and romances blossom. This show is similar to How I Met Your Mother's earlier seasons, how it should've been before it became a lame love story. In some ways, it is similar to Seinfeld (also no character development) or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (also no character development) - they're shows to watch and laugh. Not for light dramas, cute events and "aww" moments.Every episode is a throwaway episode in that it can be watched in any order, the story is irrelevant in the big picture and it's just a mechanism for delivering laughs.Ultimately, it's a comedy, it sets itself out to be a comedy, says it's a comedy and it does a great job at making people laugh. Rating it poorly for not having enough drama or character development is missing the point. It's supposed to make you laugh, not cheer you up.The jokes are really funny. They are witty, sometimes word-based and sometimes situational, there's flashbacks (Family Guy style), camera tricks, observational, references to other films and more. There is very little slapstick, people tripping, falling and so on.It's not for everyone. If you want slapstick, drama and "aww" moments - you've come to the wrong place. If you want laughs, this show does it best.

The first few episodes of Season 1 were definitely rough (and I went by the original production code, not the air date order) but after a while the show really got to a point where the characters and jokes were constantly working. The performance are all pretty on point, and the characterization surprisingly strong for such a light sitcom that doesn't look like it would be original at all. It reminds me of a super-hyper Friends, and also of Community. Eliza Coupe is the show's MVP, licking off all of the meat and humor out of the obsessively anal Jane. She's an unqualified success, as if Cuthbert at the silly humor thrown her way in seasons 2 and 3. Fantastic show

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 :)

At first, this show got my curiosity, because it's been aired right after 'HIMYM'. In Hungary, it's traditional to air 2 episodes every day, so after the first episode it was OK.BUT (!!!) even in the second episode, this show lost the main storyline. In 'HIMYM' it's working, because we see all of the side story lines of Ted's dating and friends. But in HE the main story in every episode is the bride's escape, and then there is nothing! While in 'HIMYM' there is always changing something, first Robin is the potential wife, then Stella... But there is only the main situation, and the episodes are kind of series of related scenes about 1 or 2 themes like 'Family Guy' and 'The Cleveland show'.The casts, and the dialogs sometimes embarrassing. (The last one maybe the translators mistake)
