Just perfect...

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Jack Gordon (Joel McHale) has traveled the world as outdoorsman reporter for Outdoor Limits magazine. Owner Roland (Stephen Fry) calls him back as the magazine goes solely online. He finds himself working under his ex and bosses' daughter Brooke (Susannah Fielding). His best friend is bar owner Eddie (Chris Williams). He's forced to deal with millennial tech-obsessed co-workers Clark (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), Emma (Christine Ko), and Mason (haun Brown). There is also the inappropriate receptionist Esther (Deborah Baker Jr.). Paul (Andrew Leeds) is Brooke's mild-mannered longtime fiancée.The premise screams bad network sitcom. That annoyed me in the pilot. However, I love an irreverent Joel McHale and lovable dork Christopher Mintz-Plasse. The generally likable cast saves this show for me. I don't get concerned about the writing. It's just spending some low-intensity time with a bunch of characters I like. It's empty calories as TV.

Joel McHale and Stephen Fry--this should be hilarious, right?Except no. The writing is dismal, sophomoric and menial humor. The characters are shallow one note parodies that serve no purpose other than for Joel's character (couldn't even bother to remember the name) to bounce his flat jokes off of them. Deficiencies like that aside, it's just so generic. It's the typical formulaic sitcom in the same cookie cutter pattern of other sad flops like Undateable and Outsourced. My own preference is that when I watch a show, I don't like being able to predict the entire premise, lines, and jokes in the first 6 or 7 minutes.Joel deserves better. Stephen can do better. Not sure what to say about the rest of the cast. Just a really bad show.

the humor of this show, obviously is in the expense of people whom are not very good with the internet and social media. and keep making fun of it making all these people feel awfully stupid. i am not very good with social media and then when i watch the show, i feel the show is laughing at me and saying i am old and stupid. i really don't enjoy this feeling so i am going to stop watching this stupid show. and i don't know how the other feel, it is such a waste of talent for actor like Stephen Fry to be in this show. not only it doesn't fit him at all, the show actually make him seems totally out of place. the other actors as well seems just to be portray as mean and self centered, and yet, they have the upper hand in everything. who will feel good watching such a show?

The premise of this show is that the older Gen X lead who has spent his life as a rugged outdoors-man and head of a print magazine about same is trying to join and understand the modern world with the help of a team of Millennials.The actuality made brutally obvious by the writing, dialogue, and scene setups is that Millennials are the savvy and modern now-and-future, and Gen X is old, technologically illiterate, increasingly incapable of understanding the processes of the digital world in which we live, and generally clueless about the modern world.Aside from the fact that none of these things are true about Gen X, this show is part of an accelerating trend in which the same kinds of shows and tropes once employed with characters 15 or 20 years older are being applied to Gen X.(For those of you not certain, or who have seen some of the crazier definitions of Gen X, the broad conception of the generation is that it's between the ages of 35 and 50. The actor playing the lead is just 45. In fact, over 15 million "Millennials" today were for quite some time Gen X until later efforts from within the advertising and marketing sectors fed into broadly-adopted changes in the generational definitions, producing a "largest generation" by shifting millions from the "Gen X" cohort and into "Millennials".)And while Millennials come in for the standard-issue digs in the show, they mean little for two reasons perpetuated by the show itself: 1) Millennials are "young", "on the rise" and capable of "improving"; and 2) The knocks come from "old" people who are in clueless, incapable of growing intellectually and achieving new heights, and are in terminal decline.Gen X has sat largely mute and unacknowledged for while the world speaks only of Boomers (and now Millennials), and now suddenly when we exist we're portrayed ... like this.
