Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
mstywood This had everything going for it and yet was not picked up. There is so little good comedy to watch anymore that is intelligent and safe for most audiences. The world has gone crazy and we need more quality shows to make us smile and laugh. Amazon really messed up by not picking up this gem.
Joanna Folino Poignant, funny, well acted and the perfect salve for a world upside down in 2017. Has a lot of potential for commentary on celebrity culture and the American family. Since Donald Trump's election it seems this could be very topical and quite relevant to a society decaying because of the worship of authoritarianism. Maybe rework it a little but get it up and running, pushing the edges a little further. A great premise but only ONE episode? I'd watch a whole season of this. It's unique and has tremendous satirical potential. The Uncle is brilliant and laugh out loud funny. Which I did many times. Laugh out loud that is. Lewis Pullman is our Everyman. Dumbfounded in a world gone mad.
snqr96-66-853950 Within the first minute I fell in love with this show. The dialogue, the actors, the acting, flea and shaq. Everything is just so lovable about this show. The uncle's lines are perfect. One or two fell flat, but apart from that he was a riot (sorry). The writing is amazing. It feels like it was moulded around my own sense of humour. The mum and dad are quirky and naive. I especially love the mum, the actress been in shows such as Always Sunny in Philadelphia in the past.It's rare to find a show that hits all the right notes, especially in its first episode/pilot. I was extremely disappointed when I found out there was only one episode, major case of blue balls. It's closing in on 6 months since the pilot, hopefully they'll pump out the first season within 2016. I'm usually one for offensive/dark comedy; Always Sunny being one of my favourite shows, but this is such a refreshing show. I guess the theme is dark, but it has yet to be as serious as the darkest of comedies. It is rated 15, but so far there's nothing stopping the whole family watching the show. However, I feel that it's quite niche, which is probably why it hasn't been released yet. There's not really a big demand...Anyway, this was my first ever review. Hopefully you found it interesting.
donkeyrokman-12622 Whoever cast and directed this pilot is a genius. Every single one of the characters is spot on perfect for the part, and they each play their roles like they've been leading up to them their whole lives. Highly entertaining without hitting you over the head with stupid lines that are supposed to be funny. No canned laughter or slapstick crap. Just clever scenes and dialogue with likable characters that you'll wish you could binge watch. I really hope this gets picked up to series. It's so much better than most of what's out there now. The lead is a new actor I'm not familiar with...very likable. Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers is a kick in the pants. Shaq is, to be honest, a guy I don't usually care to watch. Most of his stuff is self aggrandizing and boring. But he obviously loves this role, and doesn't mind embarrassing himself to be the epitome of a big, lumbering lovable teddy bear. The other primary roles are played by comedy veterans whose faces will be familiar and whose acting is a treat to watch. Nothing is overdone, and the show never resorts to cheap stunts or vulgarities to get a laugh. Excellent!
