    There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

    Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

    As one of last Christmas' late night Channel 4 watching brigade i simply enjoyed the comedy factor in this programme. Good'ol Finch is great and John Cho fills his usual role. Also pleased to see some British acting in their with Euan Maguire.

    "Off Centre" (the title refers to the location of the roommates's NYC loft - off Centre Street) is one of those Warner Bros. Television shows that Channel 4 has to get in order to get their mitts on "ER," "Sex and the City" etc, but aren't willing to put on at a time when people are actually awake. In this case, I can see why.The comedy is co-created by Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz of "American Pie" fame, and you can probably tell from the setup and most of the jokes - British guy who's a hit with the ladies and blander American guy who's stuck in a relationship live together with hilarious consequences. Well, not that hilarious. In fact, groan-out-loud consequences is closer to the truth, with enough gags about sex and body parts to last a lifetime ("She was scratching her crotch like a lottery ticket"). This, plus the stream of good-looking ladies throughout, pitches this show firmly at the post-pub "Maxim"/"loaded"/"Front"-reading audience.That said, Status Quo - the black gangsta rapper who lives in their building and who's only putting on a front - is sincerely funny (with an added joke for British audiences in his name; the real-life rock group of the same name never conquered America), Ben Vaughn's music is welcome, and it's good-natured enough to stop it from being at the level of "Bottom." Plus the Weitz, Weitz and Zuker logo representing them as lawyers ("We'll fight for you!") is a nice joke itself. Even so, "Off Centre" lives up enough to its name to not be a must, but I'd be lying if I sid I hated it.But if Shannon Elizabeth turned up (we should be so lucky), you'd think it was "American Pie: The Series."

    Hey I started watching this sitcom because all my friends tell me its very funny, with good jokes, and it is! Probably one of the best around, and I wish we get shows like this more often. If you haven't seen Off Centre, be sure to catch it sometime, and I promise you will love it. Its very very funny.

    Now, I have a very negative view of sitcoms. ESPECIALLY WB sitcoms! I stopped watching that network a long time ago. But I happened to be flipping through the channels one night and stumbled upon this show. I liked Eddie Kaye Thomas in the "American Pie" movies and think he's a fine, up-and-coming actor, so I figured I'll watch for a few minutes and when the jokes get dull I'll change the channel. Well, I really liked this show and couldn't change the channel! The show was created by the "American Pie" writers themselves, Paul and Chris Weitz, and the talent definitely shows. In addition to Eddie Kaye, as part of the "AP" alumni, there's John Cho who some may remember as the MILF guy. He is a very talented performer and he is absolutely hilarious on this show! I hope he gets more starring roles like this. The humor is quite puerile and aimed at a teen audience, but it never gets out of hand, and I get a lot of laughs out of this show and this is one WB sitcom that I'll probably watch on a regular basis. My score: 7 (out of 10)
