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.
... View MoreThe film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
... View MoreAfter playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
... View MoreThere are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
... View MoreThe whole reason I even wanted to watch this was for the mini My Name Is Earl reunion with Jaime Pressly (Joy Turner) and Ethan Suplee (Randy Hickey).While it was okay to watch, it was pretty much another version of Mom, the CBS comedy starring Anna Faris and Allison Janney but I haven't watched that yet so I couldn't tell you if it is better or worse.The story was okay, there we some laughs and Pressly and Suplee were definitely the highlights of the cast as well as some of the guest stars like Jeffrey Tambor, Kurt Fuller, Steve Howey and Chris D'Elia.Whlie it was good to watch once, it isn't something I need to watch again and I'm not fussed that it was cancelled.
... View MoreI started watching this show today, and i watched 6 episodes without even realising, to me, that's a sign that i like the series. It's funny, and as i said, maybe typical, but it doesn't loose it's humor. I had to stop myself from watching more episodes, and then later i had to check IMDb because i really hoped they would make more seasons, but sadly it has been cancelled. I understand some people may not like, but it's definitely not a 1 out of 10, and i see no reason why 38 people should rate it like so. Anyway, it's a shame it was cancelled, i really couldn't wait for season 2, but i guess i'll have to find something else :/
... View MoreJennifer Doyle (Jaime Pressly) is a single mother Gretchen (Dylan Gelula). She loses her high paying investment banking job and is forced to move back with her mother Maggie (Jessica Walter). The only job prospect is a waitress in her brother Wayne (Ethan Suplee)'s bar which he owns with his wife Stephanie (Nora Kirkpatrick). She reconnects with her childhood friend Dina (Missi Pyle).This is a pretty traditional single gal sitcom. Jaime Pressly is pretty good for the comedic genre. They also have some good comedic talents like Walter, Suplee, and Pyle. The situation is mostly unlikely but it's light enough to be funny. It's average without consistent big laughs. It's a good show for the smaller cable networks but nothing special or original. It's canceled after one season.
... View MoreThe pilot kept me in the dark about everything,in the upcoming episodes anything can happen,i mean literally anything,nothing is clear for the viewers so you can turn the show into whatever you want to.It must be a blessing for the writers to have so many options to write about,but for the vievers we should be able to associate events with one and other,not all just the basics at least.The only thing that is clear is that there is a "fall".Its like asking someone to guess the number you had in mind and saying its between one and infinite.Show is called j.Falls,so the pilot had to be built around the fall,but instead it started with her attempt to get up,let us absorb whats happening then start building up the show.And even worse The pilot was 21minutes and 30 seconds long,which is exactly how much i've waited to laugh and eventually i did laugh,at my bad judgement to watch this so called comedy.If only it was at least a bit funnier maybe I could overrule the unclarity completely and just focus on having good time for 21 minutes.
