Sorry, this movie sucks

Just so...so bad

Highly Overrated But Still Good

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The Days are a suburban family. Yes their family name is Day. The other meaning for the title is how many days middle child Cooper (Evan Peters) has to stay until he can go live his life. Mother Abby (Marguerite MacIntyre) is pregnant. Father Jack (David Newsom) quits his job. Older child Natalie (Laura Ramsey) finds that she is also pregnant. The youngest child Nathan has troubles.A lot of things happen in this show, and I like it. I also like the actors. I like a lot about this show. Sadly they only made six episodes. It was a failed summer replacement show and ended on a real cliffhanger.

This was a kick ass show and it just disappeared of the face of the earth...Every summer I'm hoping that it comes back and last summer, it did not...maybe this summer? I REALLY liked it, even my hubby too! Which was surprising, but I want it BACK!! It had a great plot and a good starting season, although it was short. The ending totally left us hanging. The mom loses her baby and her daughter finds out she's having a boy...Well, do they keep the baby? Does mom and dad try again? Where do the boys go from there? It's going to bug me FOREVER! I absolutely recommend this show to any family, it is/was a great family show to sit down to. I hope one day, they'll bring it back.

that's been on television in a long time. I hope ABC doesn't wait too long to bring it back on. It really filled the void over the summer when there was nothing but reruns on. I wan't sure if I was going to like it , but the more the commercials came on advertising it the more interested I became in watching it. I was hooked after the first episode. The characters seem very real and honest, which you don't see on TV very often. Thank God it's nothing like that ridiculous show The OC., or that "so called" Reality show on MTV Laguna Beach. As if families are really like those shows. If you want to watch a well written and produced show then watch The Days.

It's a rather quirky show, interested in trying a new approach to a dramatic/comedy type of family storyline that wants to talk about the dynamics of a family as a unit and as individuals. Think "My So Called Life" meets "Joan of Arcadia" type of vibe, with a bit of Disney type humor, ie "Even Stevens." The acting is sometimes awkward, but it works, as the family is a little awkward in its dynamic. It is almost a personality quirk of the show itself. The hour is narrated by 15 year old defunct Cooper Day, the floppy haired, indie music listening middle son who wants to be a writer. He does a good job of injecting humor and irony into the rhythm. It's worth a watch. I enjoyed it's offbeat storytelling.
