the audience applauded

Boring

This 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.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

If you like lazy writing and bad acting then George Lopez is the right actor for you.

George Lopez is a comic genius. He can turn the weird that happens every day into a laughable moment. He reminds me of so many Mexicans in my life including my dad and is a perfect, comic blend of them all. I highly recommend. Hang in there on the "spanglish", play it back to catch some really funny one liners. :) Kudos George Lopez!

George Lopez as a stand-up comic has made me laugh harder than any other, ever. Mucus-expelling, gasping for breath stuff. His family sitcom "George Lopez" (2002-2007) was hilarious, terrifically written, had a great cast, and was largely ignored by Emmy. Now we have "Lopez", a far superior and more snot-inducing successor, with no laugh track provided or needed. George is now looking for "relevance" as an older entertainer and Vegas escapee in a world of Los Angeles Twits. He's surrounded in his rented mansion by a new family of fringe-dwelling friends and ex-cons (led by Manolo, beautifully played by Anthony 'Citric' Campos), a creepy landlord, and George's manager, an earnest, WASPish woman-child (Hayley Huntley).Quote of the series so far: "...there's no sliding scale of racism..."Watch and repeat.

"Lopez" is definitely one of the funnier "new" shows out there. George is at his best when he is himself - and his low key, natural, smooth performance allows for his supporting cast to shine. Each episode has a cool vibe, is entertaining and unfortunately I have to wait a whole week before the next one - "must see (cable)TV"!
