Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The ironic humor in this show is hysterical. I love Seinfeld, but this is even better, exceeded only by Curb Your Enthusiasm, with at least as many out loud laughs as Peter Dragon's Action series.Lisa Kudrow does an amazing job as both writer and actor, with a large cast, each doing great work. Robert Michael Morris is especially funny at doing nothing.I stumbled across season 1 googling Lisa Kudrow as a big fan of Web Therapy's online episodes at lstudio. Psyched to find on IMDb that there's a season 2 with just two episodes left to watch on season 1. One show like this makes it worth paying for HBO Now.

I totally got all of it. The incomplete sentences, the eye contact, "yes, no, no, yea, yea.....". Totally. I have the second half of the season on video. It's one of those shows you have to watch like twice and then you get it or like it. Like, 'six feet under' and the 'Nanny'. I'm looking for the DVD. I really hope that they comeback with a comeback. But I can understand that a lot of people wouldn't get it. You have to just get it to get it. You know what I mean. I never liked Lisa Kudrow, in friends or anything else for that matter. But I totally loved her in the show and laughed and cried. I felt sorry for her when she was trying to sing, I will survive. "So what was it? The dress ripping on the red carpet?", "oh...no...onward and upward.."

When I saw the first episode of "The Comeback" I thought it was made for the LA and "industry" crowd as it was full of in jokes about how hard it was to get a table at the best restaurants and get a camera crew in position to film the action between the diners. I'm very glad I followed the rest of the episodes as "The Comeback" grew from jokes about several reality show crews filming at once into a moving exposure of Valerie Cherish, aging sitcom actress, gamely trying to ingratiate herself with her costars, who couldn't watch the sitcom made in her prime because it was past their bedtime. The show's format of supposed unedited outtake footage displayed Valerie putting on her brave face and trying her best despite being put in a pink jogging suit by the sitcom's writers who mimed performing degrading sexual acts with her late at night in the writer's suite. It showed Valerie responding to her young co star's rise to fame and the cover of Rolling Stone by being positive and hiring a new publicist who got her on the cover of Be Yoga. She gave it her 110%, spending over $10,000 on a new yoga and meditation room and practicing her best position for the cover shoot until she was stiff and had to take painkillers. The format cleverly revealed Valerie rehearsing supposed spontaneous comments about the events around her and positioning herself for the most flattering camera angle. The ever-present cameras caught the writers' cruel laughs in the corners of the room, Valerie's grin being stretched very tight, and Valerie's husband clearly getting fed up with making love in the bathroom and having to watch everything he said. Just when I was ready to sum up "The Comeback" as a crafty portrait of what an actress will do to succeed, the cameras exposed the pain behind Valerie's grin and drive. The final episode took the sympathy for her even further, becoming one of the sharpest comments I've ever seen on show business, reality shows, and celebrity culture. I'm sure "The Comeback" will be remembered for capturing the fictions people spin around themselves and the fictions behind the shows that supposedly reveal the truth about people's real lives. What a shame that the real life "Comeback" wasn't scheduled for a second season like Valerie's reality show was.

Surprisingly I liked this series. The first time I heard about this was through Entertertainment Tonight, and thought it was some new lame sitcom with Lisa Kudrow. When I saw it I thought it was great and was a new kind of television show that was much needed. It was a fake reality show, which is the best kind because you can manipulate what your character is going to do. I was really impressed with Kudrow, this is about as far from Pheobe as you can get and it works. Lisa Kudrow was always the more talented of the friends and here it really shows. She portrays this sad, depressing character so wrapped up in the LA lifestyle and popularity contest that Hollywood is, and satirises this so perfectly. A show like this is so welcome right now, what with Newlywed and Ashlee Simpson show - to name a few making stars of bimbos and egotistical nobodies, this takes this on and adds an embarrassing cringe worthy twist on it all. When i was watching it, it was hard to believe that this is mostly scripted and that what we are seeing is a bunch of actors, the show really feels like it is a reality show, and you do feel for the actors especially Valerie (kudrow). I would definitely recommend this if you are sick of Jessica/Ashlee Simpson, Hogan knows best and all those other reality, publicity stunt shows. A work of genius.
