Just so...so bad

Good concept, poorly executed.

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Absolutely loved this series; recommended for those dry sense of humour, it contains silliness, embarrassing antics and a bit of romance thrown in for good measure.Could identify with the main character and each episode had a moral story to it. Having said that you didn't need to follow a story line to enjoy it. I couldn't wait to see the next one. Gutted that it hasn't been offered a second series as I could tell that there was much more to come. Gutted that isn't available on UK TV, this is absolutely brilliant.Stephen Merchant is a very under rated comedy genius.

I didn't expect to like this show, not having been blown away my Merchants stand-up special of the same name, but there's something oddly amusing about the way in which the very British awkward/slapstick humour is written into an LA setting, resplendent with all the nose-turning vacuosity that may be familiar to any Curb Your Enthusiasm watchers.The two 'friends' Merchants character takes along for the ride are both well written and serve as polar opposites as each other, creating 3 very separate male roles whose comedic chemistry works excellently. Moreover, Christine Woods' female lead is endearing without being too sentimental or kooky, setting her apart from current sitcom tropes.Unfortunately the show is let down by its lack of clear motivation. I'm never sure if Stuart Pritchard is meant to be likable and we're supposed to feel sorry for him, given that most of the time when he ends up alone it's through his own shallow idiocy. On top of this, the writers start to edge in a much over-used and unrealistic will they/won't they arc that just oozes cheese.

I love this show is awesome and hilarious. My husband and I are laughing the whole time. The show is put together very nice and so flawlessly. I haven't laughed this hard at TV.. since Married with children, in a long time. I recommend everybody with a different and smart humor and if you want to see great comedy the show is 100% a must see, with the show you can learn very good lesson in life and will probably be a big hit for HBO with more people seen it, I'm happy to see something different and Stephen Merchant is an intelligent performer and the cast is great. I'm looking forward to seeing all the episodes are better and better, the pool party was so hilarious I'm already waiting for tonight Hello Ladies!!! 7 stars.

First of all let me say i love this show, and it quickly turned into my favorite comedy show this year.Basically the show is about an English guy, who has absolutely no self consciousness (a lot like the boss in "the office") who is desperately trying to hit on hot (and some not that hot) girls on every single occasion he has. the combination of the two results in disastrous embarrassing situations over and over again.Just like "the office", this show grows on you and it gets funnier and funnier each week, the character played by Merchant is hilarious and the side kicks are also funny and memorable characters.I can only recommend this show to people who like "embarrassing" type of humor, and my advise to you is to give it at least 4-5 episode before you decide if you are going to commit to it!
