It is a performances centric movie

Don't Believe the Hype

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

With two of Arrested Developments biggest stars, this show is bound to be hilarious. David Cross and Will Arnett are right at home in this witty comedy and are cast perfectly with their personalities. If you liked Arrested Development, you should like this. I was skeptical at first, but after a few episodes, I was hooked. It's not hard to watch both seasons fairly quickly and get into it without too much concentration, but as with Arrested Development, to catch all the funny parts, you'll have to pay attention due to the fast-paced humor. If you are looking for a good laugh, my advice is to stick with it. The plot line gets significantly better in the second season, but to fully enjoy and appreciate it, you'll have to watch from the beginning. I wouldn't go as far to say that this is at the same level as Arrested Development, though. Each episode is not as full of humor; it's more of a slower-paced show and the humor is more spread out and less in-your- face. In all, I enjoyed this show though, and would recommend it to people who are looking for a quick, good laugh.

Yes..this is it folks. You will watch this show, and your skin will crawl, and you will grimace and the incredibly, and increasingly poor decisions of this man. At first, you won't be sure if you actually like it, you'll tell yourself its unrealistic, and that maybe, the writing is bad, but then, lightening will strike, and you'll realize you'll watching pure gleaming brilliance.You will tell yourself that these situations are unrealistic, and that no person could ever roll on himself this much. And then you realize that Todd himself is a spiritual embodiment of exactly what most of us in an industrialized culture have become, because we have been conditioned to do so. We are the compulsive lying sociopath, who believes in our own intelligence to the detriment of our ignorance...Well, maybe not even North America, maybe the world, or those who have fallen for the reality show overdose, and believe that this is the way culture should be shaped on a base of twisted power.Enjoy.

So i just got done reading the review on here where dude was saying that this show isn't good. And I completely disagree.First off, David Cross is the man, he's not gonna make a show just for the sake of making a show. He's gonna put a lot of dedication into it. Secondly, I guess I can see how you might not think this is funny if you don't get where the show is coming from. Todd Margret (David Cross) is a guy who is sent to London to sell energy drinks, and he has no experience in business whatsoever he is also a compulsive liar. A lot of the comedy in the show stems from these two aspects. And in my opinion it is hilarious. Pretty much the whole show he's just digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole (as the name of the show implies).I saw in the review that I read that the guy watched Arrested Development. If your looking for a show like this, this isn't it, And really there is no other show like that. This is the type of David Cross humor that you would love if you were into "Mr. Show" the sketch comedy show he had with Bob Odenkirk on HBO.Also the in this guys review he wrote that it was similar to Home Alone... WTF? Not even close, I would disregard that review completely, and give the show a chance. Because in my opinion it is great, and I can't wait for the second season to air.This is my first post on this site, but a greatly needed one, after reading the review i saw on the page.Thanks for reading.

This show is David Cross. It's a little of everything that you know him for in his past works such as Arrested Development and Scary Movie and so forth. If you like David Cross, you will laugh your hoo hoo off at this one. At first, I was skeptical about a show that was called Todd Margeret as I tend to judge books by their covers, and so was my room mate, but as soon as we watched the first episode we were hooked. I laughed so hard that I could barely see through the tears. The first six episodes are over now and I hope that this show runs for several seasons. So, grab a box of tissues, sit back and enjoy some sick and twisted comedy by David Cross and Will Arnet. Oh yeah, and don't forget your Thunder Muscle.
