It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

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 really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

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

(Seasons 1 through 4)A terrifically entertaining show based, or rather, inspired by the series of novels by Tess Gerritsen. R&I mixes often gruesome cases with sitcom-y dialogue and downright soap opera level plot twists. So, what's not to like?It's pretty light-weight stuff, but well produced and acted, often resembling a female version of "Castle" (better show by a couple of notches). The focal point of the series is Jane Rizzoli, and Angie Harmon playing her. Harmon showcases terrific comedic sensitivities, but pulls off playing tough as well. Sasha Alexander's Maura Isles is a great "straight man" to the lively Harmon.R&I is a crime show made by women for women. Its feminist undertones show in the way the two gorgeous leads aren't visually objectified, and in the tendency of solving dilemmas through other than aggressive ways. On the other hand, it's hard to find positive father figures in this female-centered show, contrasted by the central mother figure played by the charismatic Lorraine Bracco in a lovely, warmth-filled performance. This, too, gives food for thought: Maura's father, a mob boss responsible for dozens of murders, is shown in a multi-dimensional way with sympathetic undertones; but a sex trafficker is simply shot to death execution style.The latter is linked to the main weakness of the show: often the resolution to the cases come through lazy writing. The writers get markedly better (as does the show) season by season, but even in a 4th season episode there is a baffling scene where R&I break into an evidence room, but in the end Isles simply pulls all the answers (in the said room) from her computer and previous investigation. Quite clumsy, that.Nevermind, R&I was never meant to be "The Cracker", it's just a wonderfully engaging show, where the beef is in the banter between the delightful characters. With, again, Angie Harmon being absolutely hilarious. All in all, this is the stuff binge-watching is made of.

Came across this one late, several years late. But thought it would be worth a try cause it kept popping up on several 'best' lists. Well after just a few episodes, just can't take any more. It's across the board... casting is the first culprit. There are a couple main characters that just don't work (IMHO), and once you have the advantage of looking and seeing they're around for the entire series, you know issues with them will more than likely continue. Next the story-line and script dialogue are very weak for a show that's half-dozen seasons long to date. And the overall acting is very suspect... probably a combination of factors leading to all the sub-par performances. And you figure there's always the chance they'll get it right later on.. but skipping several seasons forward you find the same issues continuing. Unfortunate.. the two leads deserved better... but it's still going, and there's for sure a loyal following that just might keep it around another season or two.

This show is not your typical crime drama. It relies on the charismatic relationship of the two main leads. Police detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles are strong powerful and smart women. It is nice to see a show based around two women taking the lead with males as the supporting cast. They have done a great job with casting as well. They have a lovely family dynamic and own their roles.The cases they focus on are interesting but certainly not the main part of the show. I feel that it is best described as a drama with a crime theme. So if you enjoy that sort of genre then it is perfect for you. The story lines are clever but not too heavy. There is a fun undertone with a comedic air. Overall everything is working well to make it an entertaining show.

I love this series. I sometimes love it more than the book series. Great casting and characters. Angie Harmon is great as Jane Rizzoli. Sasha Alexander is fabulous as Dr. Maura Isles. I wish some of the books in the series could be made into episodes of the TV series. I really hope that this show stays on for awhile and doesn't get cancelled like so many other great shows. Korsak and Frost are hilarious and really help round out the estrogen, that is Isles and Rizzoli. I love this sow so much and wish that there were more shows like it. So sick of dumb reality and sitcoms. I hope the writers keep the show going in the direction that it is going in, and don't screw it up.
