    Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

    It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

    Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

    It is a shame that this show was cancelled. It was far better than anything currently on TV today! It also introduced me to Andrew Braugher, and what a wonderful actor he is. Oh, I need 5 lines to post a comment. Here we go.Blah. Blah. Blah.Let's see if that will do???

    I Still this show. It was a great show , it talked about issues that happen to people of a certain age.But As Ray Romano said other Networks wouldn't touch it because it didn't have car chases or explosions.And I guess TNT felt that way too after a bit.Shame because it was well written , the main actors seemed to have a great chemistry as well Sad that the most popular shows are "Reality Shows!And now gasp we find out that reality shows are plotted out I.E. Like storage wars.

    I don't think this show is the next Wire, Sopranos, Dexter, or any other hit show you want to add to the list. With that being said, I do not feel that anyone can deny the realism that surrounds all of the characters. And no, I am not a 50 something that can really relate to the situations and circumstances that the characters in the show encounter.I am only 27; however, throughout my years I have learned one truth in life: No one ever knows what life has in store for them, even if they think they do. That is what this show is about. It's about the life that real people live when curveballs are thrown their way. Nothing ever turns out how you expect it, and that is the reality these characters (and most people in the world) are trying to deal with.The actors in this show accurately convey that sentimentality. Ray Ramano is surprisingly convincing in his portrayal of the newly divorced, quasi-gambleholic, newly turned single man. Scott Bakula creates a persona I have never seen from him in his role as the actor who never "made it." In his quest for that stardom that never came his way, Bakula's character was obviously insistent on maintaining his single ways, which he has come to regret (at least a little). Andre Braugher is also incredible playing a fifty year old car salesman working for his father's business. Braugher's character has done everything according to his plan (graduating and working for his father's business), yet nothing has turned out the way he thought it would.I know this review may seem vague; however, my added verbiage would not add to the show. The essence of this show is that people everywhere have to deal with problems in their lives. Whether a person is twenty or sixty, he or she has to deal with certain life issues. If you have never had to deal with these issues, you haven't really lived. That is why I can relate to this show.This is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.

    These are flawed, likable men. It is refreshing to watch three-dimensional characters on television without having to resort to "reality" shows. Drama is not a bad word - no really it isn't. There is drama in every life, and placed into perspective it can be compelling entertainment. Well scripted drama, as opposed to the emotional breakdown of a spoiled 25 year-old heiress, makes watching television a good use of time. The comedic aspect of the show is the touch that makes this show so rich. If you're expecting to see Ray Romano rehashing Everybody Loves Raymond, you'll be surprised. Braugher and Bakula turn in creditable performances as well with outstanding support from Lisa Gay Hamilton, Richard Gant, and Jon Manfrellotti. If there were anything negative, I'd say that they are overusing the cable advantage (the ability to swear) just a little. There are times when it seems that the word "shit" is in the script just because it can be. In a show about middle-aged, middle-class men, a little profanity is authentic. But, the term "mother-shit" is not authentic by any means. Men of a Certain Age validates the humanity of men nearing 50. It paints them as real people who have passions, fears, faults, desires, and a sense of humor to cope with it all.
