    It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

    The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

    Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

    Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

    Unoriginality plagued this show, and it was often boring. There were a few funny parts of the show, such as the songs at the beginning of the first two episodes and the PE teacher, but these were not enough to make me stick around for more than three episodes. Each of the episodes that I watched was worst than the last. The first episode was bad, the second and third were very bad. While the other teachers at the school that Craig teaches at (minus his love interest and not including the principal) are decently funny, the other characters are not. In two of the three episodes I watched, it took too long to set up the episode's plot, and the main storyline for each of the episodes was something done a million times before in other sitcoms. There is very little originality in Mr. Robinson, and really no reason that I would recommend it to anyone.

    I started watching this summer series a couple weeks ago, and thought I'd get a few more episodes in before I posted a review. I think I've seen four so far. I've seen where this show actually began a couple years ago, and just now NBC is airing it- which I understand why. They usually dump the lousy shows without much potential into the summer, and I don't see this one returning this Fall. I'm a bit disappointed they couldn't put together a better show for Craig Robinson, after his good work on the American version of "The Office", hosting "Last Comic Standing", and some decent film work as well. This half-hour "live studio audience"-format sitcom focuses on Craig, as a rough musician, who takes on a teaching gig in an inner-city school, and deals with teacher politics and single moms. It's the ol' comedian- gets-his-own-sitcom format where he incorporates his comedy/music into a standard half-hour TV sitcom. The show is very much like the tired TV comedies of the '80s. They gave him a good supporting cast, including no less than "Frasier"'s Peri Gilpen, Meagan Good, etc... I just don't see this show returning...??

    The series got a huge potentials ,, the idea of the show isn't that genuine but the plot is tight and entangled properly and the script looked okay , had a couple of laughs and some giggles ... Owen Ellickson and Jonah Platt are a couple of young writers yet they had their share of writing some episodes on TV like The office and Family guy .. and i think with a full-on new show they will do just fine.As for the cast; Craig Robinson is a fine good funny actor but here i felt he faded away a bit in the comedy and added a touch of the romantic honest man ,,. to be more fair, the performance of Tim Bagley, Brandon T. Jackson and the kids Ethan Josh Lee and Dante Brown were much more funnier and engaging in the comedy script.So overall, NBC made a good first choice on airing the show .. but they really need to be careful , because this is no where near the best sitcoms on the network and i don't know if they have chosen it just as a summer preparation gap for the Sep/Oct Hit shows but if they want it to survive i think they need to step-up their game and their script to have more and more comedy bits.

    The show is mildly funny, but Craig Robinson could do better. The show format is regressive, it feels like something that would have been made 10 -15 years ago - complete with the male Asian character that is effeminate and constantly ridiculed. According to IMDb, the only writers listed are white. Not surprising. With Aziz Ansari, Mindy Kaling, shows like the great but canceled too soon Outsourced, aren't we passed all this? The two writers do look like the type of douche bags that would have picked on Asian kids in high school (dude, hi-five bro!)The show started out funny and promising when it was all Craig Robinson making music. Then they introduced the rest of the cast and it got dumb real quick. Again, this show is racist towards the Indian character on the show.
