Sadly Over-hyped

Absolutely Fantastic

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I thought this show was very cute. And I liked how the kids were dealing with older parents who decided to divorce and who hated each other for years. Thought it very relevant.However, when they brought on Sean Hayes the show went downhill. He just doesn't fit inside the cast. This cast was about a family. Mom, dad, a son and a daughter. And Daughters small family. It worked so well. I have no idea where "Kip" is supposed to fit in. I called it an 8 out of 10 and that was without Sean. With Sean, a 6 out of 10. I think more just need to see it.How can 2 broke girls with their senseless sarcasm and sexual constant quips be so big and this gem is on the sidelines?

the best motif to see it is the cast. the best motif to ignore it is the script. so, not a bad series. but one without its clear way. a sitcom, few acid dialogs, part of an old chain of series who presents crazy families. and not problem if the actors are the others. but Margo Martindale, Beau Bridges, Will Arnett are inspired choices for a different story. more credible, less pathetic, more nuanced. sure, it is not a bad job. but not a remarkable one. a series product, few nice jokes, language aggressive and few good actors. far to be enough. a film about family crisis. too childish, far to be convincing, amusing at second view. but the hopes are bigger.

Man I had such high hopes for this show based on who is in it and the promos. Of course you usually get the best shorts in a promo commercial. Most of this series has mediocre writing and acting. I really like Margo Martindale but her character in this show is not very funny, it is actually just kind of matronly and she is so much better than that. Beau Bridges character I actually find rather funny but not funny enough to keep on watching this program. I don't think Will Arnett is good in his role either. He just doesn't come across right in my eyes. I just don't like this one and personally don't think it will make it for renewal, heck it might not make it through the first season.

"The Millers" is another (yes, another) sitcom about a dysfunctional family...So far so good, other sitcoms were about this type of thing and they succeeded, and some of them even became classics.But, the problem is that people are running out of ideas and because of it writers have to resort to scatological humor (sic).First example: Mother farts in the living room and the main conclusion is that noisy farts are funny, quiet one are disgusting.Second example: Husband complains that he has had no sex for the past ten years, woman tells she saw husband masturbating in the shower and that counts as sex because she saw the whole thing.Third example: Postmenopausal mother had a sleep pill and gets dizzy... In a party she invites strangers to have sex withe her. Her selling point is that she cannot get pregnant...Are these situations funny? I guess not.They are horrid examples of the lack of imagination of writers. What next, sex with animals, people urinating in each other? Not even "Idiocracy" could go that low. This is another example of the dumbing down of America. Stupidity is packaged as humor.
