Admirable film.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

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

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

If this is on the TV then I would watch it, if there was nothing else on. It does make me laugh at some points, but when The Father (Mark Addy) or the Daughter (Jennifer Irwin) talk I just wish to cover my ears. Mark Addy's attempt at an American accent is horrible, some words that come out of his mouth he is clearly English. Still, even though Mark Addy's accent is the worst I've heard his still does make me laugh.But Jennifer Irwin...URGH. She is a terrible actress, her facial expressions never show emotion, and her voice...I know she doesn't have a lisp, so why does she sound like she has one? Asides from the cast all in all I'd say the show is funny, I laugh a lot. How ever would I miss The Office for Still standing? - NO.

I 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.

This 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.

Simple, it can be a very entertaining show. Mark Addy who is British plays Chicago Bill Miller. Mark is better known for his performances in The Fully Monty and the British comedy classic, The Thin Blue Line. Mark does a first rate job at making Bill Miller into a blue collar American every man. His co-star Jami Gertz better remembered for her roles in the 1980s films, The Lost Boys, and Sixteen Candles does an equally fantastic job at playing Judy Miller. They were the couple from high school who married and had children. I love watching Sally Struthers play Bill's mom. She's fabulous and under-rated as a performer. She can do more than just play whining Gloria from All in the Family. Anyway the plots don't do the talent justice for the family. It was a surprise hit because I think we just miss family comedies. I think the actors who play the children also do a fantastic job at making us believe in them. Overall, it's a good show but not great. It's writing could be stronger to make this cast shine.
