Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
... View MoreThat was an excellent one.
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreThis show reminds of the realness of most Brit Sitcoms, turned up a couple of racy notches. This show will cross any line and it is real. The acting chemistry works. Pamela Adlon is basically what makes this show work.She is the same character in every role.... CALIFORNICATION, for example, but thats OK. I believe Louis CK is only adequate as the lead character. He seems to be very ho hum. The supporting cast is awesome.Jim Norton and Michael Hagerty as Lous friends light up every scene when they interact. You have a little bit of imitation from Seinfeld episodes... in the form of an eccentric neighbor that drops in unexpectedly and raids the fridge.Sound familiar ? That is perfectly OK. No beautiful people in this show but REAL people. I like that a lot, the average American can relate to these folks and form a kinship. The language may be a bit over the top but its nice that we live in an age where you can have sitcoms that can cross that line. Can you imagine if Archie and Mike could say what they really want without censorship on ALL IN THE FAMILY??? That would make the show more realistic not less. Overall , a good watch and hopefully this show can come back on another cable channel.
... View MoreI finished watching the first season of Lucky Louie this week, and to say the least I'm quite disappointed. It's not really awful but, oh, I don't know, it's so complicated. Louis CK is great, he's one of the greatest comedians I've ever seen. He's not much of an actor but neither is Jerry Seinfeld or Larry David or Mitch Hedberg, comedy is not necessarily about acting. So that aside, I'm still disappointed. It's like when you really love a band and know the tunes they put on that EP that probably sold about 20 copies and then they put out a full length (you know, something that will actually sell) and they put the same dam songs on it. And you wonder, why did you do that? I thought we were moving on, you've recorded this before. that's what watching the only season of Lucky Louie is like if you've seen all of his stand-up repeatedly. I haven't seen his new stand-up special, I'm sure it will be great, but Lucky Louie is nothing more than a complete season of acting out his old, old comedy routines. Which is good, at times, like when he is explaining his nightmares about Hell in the confessional to the father. Priceless. But that only really takes you so far before you say, wait a second the premise of every episode is that he's left in charge of his daughter, he messes it up, his wife gets mad, they make up, everyone is a better person, until next episode when it all begins again. The show is fine, its humorous, but it isn't original, its a little redundant, it lacks the creative spin on traditional topics like marriage and kids that Louis CK made his name on. Worth a viewing, if nothing else, so that you know why HBO pulled the plug on a show that had great potential and just had not come into it's own yet.
... View MoreThis would have to be one of the funniest TV Sitcoms to be on. Sad that they are not making another season :(If they do in fact come out with another season like Family Guy's return to Fox then it will be well worth getting cable again.The little girl in this show is a good actress but she does get a little annoying after watching a couple episodes in a row, but it's all good.I don't know how much the first season is going for on DVD but I highly recommend that you at least rent this if you haven't seen it on Television.Also, if you like this show you might be interested in a show called Trailer Park Boy's. The comedy is crude like this show but the actual content they are dealing with is much worse...funny show as well.
... View MoreI love the show and I don't live in a trailer park. The jokes are hysterical. I really think this show is portraying just any old dysfunctional-ish family. It is definitely crude humor but if you like Louis CK's standup, you are sure to love this show. I think that a lot of men get offended about the male nudity (there really isn't that much) because they are so used to ALWAYS seeing women nude in shows. I don't think the nudity is necessary but if Louie's wife on the show was always running around naked, I'm sure there would be NO complaints.Bottom line...great show for those who have a sense of humor. It is nothing like anything else that is on television right now.
