Just perfect...

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

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

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I don't know if this is because I watched it on netflix, and perhaps there are some alternative time lines or something (I didn't notice any mention of that) but this show seemed to alter it's time line at random.More than once the plot seemed to ignore events that had happened and revert to previous time lines. Steve and Lizzie's relationship seemed to start and stop from episode to episode without any logical sequence of events. Similarly Lizzie and Jeff seemed to be boyfriend and girlfriend or broken up somewhat at random. This could all be due to me not really paying attention at times, but even if it's quickly explained here and there, it still makes for an annoyingly repetitive sequence of events.So, although the characters are fairly interesting, and the humor overall isn't terrible, the show goes nowhere and the characters seem to go through the same paces, while the story jumps around, and characters disappear and reappear at random.Due to this, the show kinda sucked.

You know how you buy a cd and you just keep playing it over and over? It almost makes you feel kind of good and happy? You do..great! That's how you are going to feel when you finally buy this DVD. Strangely enough I only caught it once or twice when it aired, but once i found out it was on DVD, i think i have watched at least once or twice a day. The show is so damn real, and funny..you could say its "real funny." Ever been to a college, or a college party or know some one that went to college? Yes you say..then good, because you can totally relate on at least 3 levels..i promise. Find this DVD..go to the official website..love it..and laugh. This once again shows how a network kills a great show.Let the record state that Judd Apatow is the man.

Besides a few short highlights during this series' run, it didn't reflect any of the real college experience. It was like someone who never went to college watched a bunch of college movies and wrote this show based on the biggest cliches. I'll admit I really liked the show at first, but half the main characters started to grate on me a few episodes in. Then everyone started acting like whining wimps.Still, I was shocked when it got canceled, because I thought maybe another year and they could clean up their mess. But we're probably all better off without this show in the long run.

'Freaks and Geeks' was a terrific show. It made it onto my favorite list. It was extremely funny, well written, it had a wonderful cast (and I mean excellent), and each episode was a delight to see. So, my question is, if I liked that show so much, how come I was absolutely bored out of my mind when I watched 'Undeclared'?Judd Apatow as well as countless others introduced up to the now always-missed by many masterpiece 'Freaks and Geeks', yet failed miserably when he attempted to pull off a so-called sequel to the teenage gang from 1981. I'm going to refer to 'Undeclared' as the sequel to the great show just because it tries to follow in its footsteps all the time. The problem with Fox's 'Undeclared' is that it has a cast that I cannot even begin to stand, writing that is unbelievably dull, and a direction taken in which the same episode seems to be repeated week after week.This cast is horrible. Jay Baruchel is one of the most annoying guys I have ever seen. His acting is unbearable as most of the cast's is, and he is so....unlikable. Seth Rogan, who I liked on 'Freaks and Geeks' and was glad to see turn up on this show, despite how awful it is, just doesn't work in the dorm as much as I'd like him to. Newcomer Timm Sharp is alright; I actually can tolerate him, to a degree though. There isn't much that I can say about Carla Gallo except that she is so wrong for the part. Loudon Wainwright is horrible and like his onscreen son as well as Gallo, amazingly annoying. What I want to know is how did all of these annoying actors end up on television. I'm surprised that I like Charlie Hunnam and Monica Keena as much as I do. Hunnam is funny with what he has to work with. He's cute and adds something that the others don't: simple, tolerable acting. I'd definitely see him in something else. Monica Keena, who I thought that I wouldn't like from the pilot, actually turned out to be one of my favorites. I wouldn't exactly call her funny, but she's just good in her role as Rachel. The writing is so dull and lame. Every episode from the very first to the finale was sadly written. I'm not sure what the writers were thinking, but all I know is that I laughed at the writing on this show...perhaps twice. Because the writing was so slow, the episodes of course would apparently be slow running also. To me, the series seemed like it was the same episode every week with just a line or two changed. The different plots; Eric and Lizzie and Steven's love triangle, and well, I guess that's about all, didn't change throughout the run of the show like it should have. This isn't entertaining, it's just stupid.So, what we have here is a mere duplicate of a terrific show except that, oh, yeah 'Undeclared' isn't terrific but very far from it. Apatow and the others just clicked when it came to NBC's gem but not on FOX's sleeper. Should have been better, could have been better, but never came close. Watch 'Freaks and Geeks' while staying as far away from this as possible. For once, FOX actually came to their senses and cancelled a show worth cancelling.(P.S. - the best thing about this show, alright the ONLY good thing was the guest star appearances. Jason Segel, David Krumholtz, Busy Philipps, Samm Levine, Natasha Melnick, Steve Bannos, Martin Starr, all related to 'Freaks and Geeks', were wonderful to see. Also, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, and Ben Stiller, are wonderful as well were terrific.)
