Very well executed
... View MoreI was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
... View MoreBlending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
... View MoreI too discovered this show after production ended. Its hard to find a good sitcom these days, and this show seemed to be like all the rest, a husband and wife with kids. It's been done so many times, but this show by far is the best. I never knew Jamie Gertz could be so funny. Never heard of Mark Addy, but he is hysterical. The entire cast comes together well, and the show is hilarious. I find myself laughing out loud multiple times during every episode.I think if you're a fan of Roseanne, Home Improvement, King of Queens, Raymond, etc., you will love this one. I think it beats all those hands down.
... View MoreThis is one of the funniest family sitcoms I've ever seen. It reminds me a little of Grounded for Life (another funny family sitcom), only a little less mature, so it's more family friendly, but the content is real enough to make this a credible show. It's a shame it's out of production after only four seasons. Yeah, it wasn't M*A*S*H or Full House, but it is certainly a breath of fresh air on television, and it certainly brightens my day to join the Millers in another misadventure of their everyday lives. I like Jami Gertz better in this show than any other movie or show she's done, but I don't know how I can say that because other than this show, I've only seen her in Twister, and I wasn't a big fan of Dr. Melissa Reeves, but I did empathize with her after the drive-in movie scene. Anyway, I also like Mark Addy's character as well. Bill & Judy Miller are parents that I almost wish I had. The comedy is great in this show. The lines never stop coming sometimes, and I find myself having to catch my breath from laughing so hard; it's almost like watching Robin Williams do stand-up...not really. But it's great. If it comes out on DVD, I'm totally buying it.
... View MoreI only found out about this show a few months back when it went into re-runs at 11 pm on FOX. The last stop before oblivion. I've taken to recording them since there are no DVD's, yet. There is a simple formula to this show, and I think that's what's made it the favorite it is. It had 24 writers on this show. Few that ever worked on more than 1 episode or with another writer. Yet there was the formula that kept the continuity in the show. It is amazing the variety of NEW situations and methods used to resolve them. But it always worked out.Mentally abuse the children, and each other. use the past as a template for the now. mother and father cookie cutter clones of each other.sister-in-law: spinster in training. Hasn't hit 40 yet and still picking the losers. Not someone you want at the horse races. Lives at her sisters home.Oldest son, from a different world. Belongs in Guiness for most out of place offspring. Genius in a family of below average middle class parentsmiddle daughter average to below average mentally. Knows what she wants and how to get it. Ugly duckling to swan in last season. Gives as good as she gets. Daddy's girl.Youngest daughter: closest one to actually belonging in this family. Also the one most likely to follow in daddy's footsteps as a mall sales person.Only thing I can say is bring them back before they get too old for this silliness. And advertise so someone knows it exists.
... View MoreThis show came on to Lifetime recently, and at first I thought it was another yawner...until we sat down and really watched it. It's HYSTERICAL!!! It apparently must have taken the place of The Nanny, which we also found out years later, was really funny. CBS has some pretty funny sitcoms in the early evening when no one is watching...pretty cutting edge in some ways, and irreverent. I was shocked to see that Mark Addy is British and was schooled in The Royal Theatre, or something like that. Guess we have another 'House' on our hands, a Brit crossing the pond and doing an amazing American accent. On The Nanny, Niles played a Brit almost flawlessly, and HE is from Arkansas or Tenn. or Kentucky, one of those. Anyway, the show is a blast, and it is fun to discover a new show that we totally missed in primetime...I have been finding others who like it too, of all ages...sorry it was canceled.
