I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I can say this is one of the very few series I like from start to the end. I enjoyed every single chapter, there's not even one I don't enjoy watching it, very creative jokes, excellent character development... even though most of the new characters were crazy or overacted, they fit just fine in the series! you never knew that was going on, and just when you thought you got it... they twisted it over and over. It was a shame it got canceled due to rating stuff but still... I could name a lot of series that started very well and eventually got boring. I can say the series ended in a very good moment, when it was right in the top. So we didn't have to see it going down :D. This will be a classic, we'll miss you Malcolm

My feeling are generally extreme but this is one best written and worked out TV shows I have watched. Each episode starts off with a quirky incident which are really witty and funny. It lasts for over a 2 to 3 minutes only. They being able to come up with something quirky in every episode for 7 seasons is definitely a achievement in itself. They were able to maintain consistency in the script and make us relate with each of the characters to such an extent that we attach ourselves to their fictional day to day schedule was a amazing achievement. I love this series and would never get bored even if I have to watch it altogether again at a stretch on any day!

I loved this show back in the day. I bought all the the DVDs. I shelved all the DVDs and over the years forgot about the show. Recently, thanks to Breaking Bad, I had the urge to go back and see the "old" Bryan Cranston. You know... the happier, zanier guy as opposed to the meth maker. Lo and behold, my 9 and 11-year olds started to watch along with me and now they're hooked. I absolutely love watching it with them and seeing what they find hilarious in it. Irreverent, silly comedy that leaves me in a great mood. I suppose it's kind of the opposite of Breaking Bad. I find it amazing to see how an actor like Cranston can have such range too. If you have young kids, this show is a blast. I'll have to wait a few more years before we can watch Breaking Bad together. Maybe 20.

This is one of the funniest offbeat comedy about a lower class family. The family has 4 rumbustious boys. The oldest Francis (Christopher Masterson) is sent to military school. This leaves Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) as the middle child in the house. Reese (Justin Berfield) is the older and Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan) is the younger brother.The parents are played by the hilarious pair Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek. Individually everybody has incredible energy and comedic power. Put everybody together and you got an incredible team.The chemistry with this family is off the charts. However shows with smaller child leads don't last long as they grow up and the tone change. There is some of that here, too. But it was still funny when it ended after its 7 years run.
