It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

... View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
... View MoreI desperately watch each new sitcom in the hopes of discovering something that can fill the Friends sized hole in my heart. Or maybe another Seinfeld or even a That 70s Show. Even though it's a long shot I watch at least 5 episodes to get past that teething point just in case it's a good comedy that's started shakily. With this show, I couldn't even get past two episodes and, even then, it was hard work. Thoroughly predictable writing (who hadn't guessed the Grandmother was in the drawing and not the mom, two seconds after the premise was revealed). This is so pathetic I feel sorry for the actors who have, in the past, been in some top notch stuff. A lot of comedies fall below mediocre. Your Family or Mine is worse than mediocre.. it is just thoroughly, thoroughly bad and this show deserves being cancelled. However, knowing how mediocrity is celebrated in the States this will probably run for nine seasons and syndication.
... View MoreThe show has some funny lines. I just want to say that the use of the G** Damn bothers me and I can't believe they allow this. If it must be used can I suggest saying "golly dammit" instead. It is my opinion that GOD does not have a last name and I am sure some would agree with me. I was shocked that they could get away with this. I know the writers want it to be more realistic but seriously writers be more creative then this. The cast has some really stand up actors and I'm sure this could be a really great show if the plot lines were better and everyday issues were discussed. We don't need any more sexually explicit shows as our kids learn enough in schools and from others, yes I know that's why we have a rating system.
... View MoreThe writing is crazy terrible. Crude sex references seem to be the main goal here (must take a lot of brain power to fit in a mention of blow jobs every single episode).It's a shame because the concept of the show is interesting and different but if the plots weren't bad enough, the cast is just flat and unfunny. Did the producers of this show realize the writing was this bad and tried to save the concept by tossing in some well known names to salvage it? Please end this show. Even re-runs of the Big Bang Theory are better than this junk.
... View MoreThe acting is unconvincing, and the subject matter forcibly emphasizes the topic of sex, to the point where it defeats the purpose); while these factors are common in some contemporary sitcoms, this show takes them to an extreme. Also, the writing lacks creativity - the word "shitty" was used to describe a kid's drawing on the show, the dialogue and script was far too canned and contrived, the plot was predictable and simultaneously felt very unnatural (even for a sitcom), and it was flat-out boring, as the plot pandered about a singular menial premise. Judging by the trailers advertising this show leading up to its premiere, I didn't have such high hopes for this show, but I decided to give it a chance anyway - I came away very disappointed.I watch sitcoms on a regular basis, and as far as this show goes, it falls decisively flat on its face. It's bad enough that the writing and acting are both terrible, but the plot and premise are also pointless - I will be very surprised if the show is renewed for a second season.
