I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
... View MoreThis is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind
... View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreI used to be a lover of sitcoms back in the days of Friends, Will and Grace, Cheers, and even as a little kid watching Taxi and Mash. Sometime after Friends and Will and Grace, it seems the sitcom died. For me, Will and Grace was all about Jack and Karen! None of the rest of the cast mattered, anyone could have played them and it didn't make a difference to me. It's the same with Sean Saves the World. It's all about Sean Hayes and Tom Lennon. They are both incredible and their different comedic styles create a wonderful melange of funny. I do like Linda Lavin too but the rest of the cast can be anyone. Megan Hilty was great in Smash, but comedy is sooo obviously NOT her forte. She is the only one I would change because it makes the comedy seem forced and drags the better actors down. She should stick to singing. I also love the sets. Love the bold colors. The set design of his home is bold and gorgeous. The other only other comedy show I'm into right now is Dads. I may be in the minority but Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother and Modern Family just bore or annoy me. So I'm sooo glad "Jack's Back!" Please don't let it get canceled.
... View MoreI am sincerely surprised to see such a low rating .. So many comedy programs that try to steal a giggle are just silly and brain numbing..THIS is one very funny show and a 8 out of 10 on my rate chart... I am ONLY sorry that it is just a 30 minutes episode of laughing!! ( which is where it lost its 2 points) ..Great characters and actors.. Great one-liners... Great comedic timing... Hopefully through word of mouth, folks will hear about it and catch on to this new show... I would hate to see it axed.... As far as entertainment goes, this one works... in spades...!! The reason I don't comment on here, is that I can never think of 10 lines to write....Perhaps that is why I should keep my day job..???
... View MoreI don't know about anyone else but I've had Jack withdrawals for years and there is only so many times you can watch repeats of will and grace...OK that was a lie, please forgive me baby Jesus.This show has so much potential and you should never judge a new series before the 6th episode unless of course its an action show and the graphics is terribly poor from the get go, in which case you should jump ship immediately.This has all the ingredients for a good watch that does have punch lines that make you laugh and just to reiterate again SEAN HAYES PEOPLE! Plus gays are so hot right now, its better than another show based on a fat useless ugly man married to an attractive woman who has an annoying family member and is full of chauvinistic punch lines...Just saying.I just hope that I don't get too attached and it doesn't get signed for a second season. The competition is pretty tough with sitcoms these days but I will always Have time for Sean.
... View MoreSean Hayes is a very talented man and he works very hard in this. He has to because it's largely like a terrible parody of U.S. 90s sitcoms. If only it were a parody.Most of the characters are TV clichés or racial tokens (one "Asian", one black guy). The plot for each episode is jammed in our faces as if otherwise we'd be too stupid to understand it: "My daughter needs her first bra!". Hilarity ensues, except it doesn't, it's truly truly painful.Cue laugh track, then cue it again and again. The less I smile and the more laughter I hear the more depressing the whole thing becomes.The supporting cast is a mixed bunch which range from a wooden spoon with a face drawn on it wearing a kitchen mop for hair (Megan Hilty) through to performances of genuinely twisted comedic genius from Tom Lennon.That was really my point about a good show within a terrible one. Every scene with Tom Lennon in it seems to come from a different place than the rest of the show, a much improved place where the show is actually funny.I sat stony-faced through the pilot yet laughed out loud at some of the Tom Lennon scenes. Whether I can continue to grit my teeth waiting for those moments is debatable.It feels like being in a wheelchair having lost the use of your legs, with NBC looking down at you and saying in a very loud, slow, voice... "Are you alright down there? Can I get you anything? Do you want to go to the toilet? Do you want to hear a funny joke?".I may be sitting down, but I'm not deaf and I'm not an idiot, please stop treating me as such.If they could build on the Hayes-Lennon core a bit more (they're great together) focus less on the been there, done that ha ha ha feel of the rest of it, perhaps try to give some dimension to the characters of the other actors then this could really be something.
