I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
... View MoreIf the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
... View MoreThis is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
... View MoreThe tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
... View MoreI discovered this show in the last three months when I was channel surfing during the morning. I watched for a few minutes and actually laughed at some of the jokes. As I kept coming across this show I noticed I was beginning to like what I saw. I eventually started to watch the show and although there are some rough spots and weak writing at times, I realized that Kelly Ripa has very good comedic timing and great expressions. She and Faith Ford make a really funny team. I will admit that I normally wouldn't be into a show like this because I always considered shows like "The Dick Van Dyke Show" or "M*A*S*H" to be more of my liking with great writing and great acting. Again, with this show I'm attracted to the chemistry of the two leads and I sympathize with the husband who hates his sister-in-law. It's definitely not a great show and Kelly Ripa's character can be downright mean and not a very nice person but she pulls it off beautifully and there are some really funny lines. I really wish it had lasted more than three seasons. I'll give it a 7 out of 10 because of Kelly Ripa's acting, she should definitely do another sitcom.
... View MoreKelly Ripa, one of Regis Philbin's second banana's plays Faith, a washed up daytime Soap Star who goes to live with her homemaking sister Hope(Faith Ford from Murphy Brown.) and her husband(Ted McGinley: The Monkey Paw of DOOM for TV.) who detests the dim 30 something actress still desperately pretending to be a teenager and famous when she is ridiculously not to hilarious consequences.This tired sitcom has been on for three years and is no more complicated than an episode of I love Lucy with out the old world charm. For some reason all the good TV has gone off the air and this cud has found its way into prime time so I got a more than unpleasant look at it last Wednesday night. They were Tom Sawyering a fake death which excused the brutish husband into being extra coarse, telling Kelly Ripa to die for real, which is when I noticed the plot and the characters were from A Street Car Named Desire.So, yes that guy who killed Happy Days and Love boat(Ted might not have made the head shot, but he gets partial credit for the fall of Sports Night.) is Stanley, and Kelly Ripa is Blanche. I wonder if Kelly's oblivious to playing one of the greatest America female parts, or she's ten times smarter than Regis silently laughing at the inside joke? I'm really curious how Tennessee would have reacted seeing such a freaking cartoon? He was an angry drunk right? Of course the only really serious point to take from all this is that Ted McGinley is walking in Brando's shadow.... OMG! Even compare Ted and Marlon's characters names are bizzarro counterparts of one another!Charley Shanowski Stanley KowalskiThat's a wonky spoonerism. This is no accident, hell, it's probably always been pitched as a homage and I'm just dim.
... View More"HOPE & FAITH," in my opinion, is an absolute ABC classic! I haven't seen every episode, but I still enjoy it. There are many episodes that I enjoyed. One of them was where Hope (Kelly Ripa) got busted with Charlie (Ted McGinley). If you want to know why, you'll have to have seen it for yourself. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that everyone always gave a good performance, the production design was spectacular, the costumes were well-designed, and the writing was always very strong. In conclusion, even though new episodes can currently be seen, I strongly recommend you catch it just in case it goes off the air for good.
... View MoreOne of my favorite series since 2003 has been "Hope & Faith" which airs on ABC, the show is so funny and heartwarming at the same time. You have Faith Fairfield(Kelly Ripa) a recently fired and unemployed actress who goes to Cleveland, Ohio to move in with her sister Hope who is played well by Faith Ford, and Faith will find life is much different from Hollywood, as the family that sister Hope has evolves around loving her three children and husband and respect and discipline. Like all families they have petty differences but love conquers all when it comes to these two sisters and family. The shows always have funny stories and laughter, plus guest appearances by Regis Philbin as a lovable car salesman Hal, as you know that is Kelly Ripa's talk show host partner in real-life, the two always make such beautiful music together! I must say finally that Kelly Ripa really perks me up! I also happen to think that she is one of the world's sexiest women period. Kelly sure shows it on a couple of episodes over the years I remember certain scenes when I noticed that Kelly would be wearing sexy colored bras, once I believe a purple one then another time a green one. Now if Kelly wasn't married, that would be my wife!
