Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews After getting fired from her job at a news station for, yet again, letting her temper get the best of her in the face of disrespectful behavior towards her, feminist Maya Gallo goes to the fashion magazine run by her distant father, and finds herself being hired for a staff position. So begins the seven years of Just Shoot Me, with the clever wit, sarcastic jokes, and sit-com humor that often has a relatively provocative subject or moral to it, and almost always hits the nail on the head. The cast is marvelous, with all five regulars being immensely funny and having great chemistry with each other. Giacomo is a positive surprise in the lead as angry and opinionated, Segal is, as expected, very good, as the naive boss who can't do anything by himself, Malick I honestly don't know from anything else, but she shines as the former supermodel who *refuses* to give up her glory days. Colantoni is spot-on as the overly sensitive, womanizing photographer, and Spade gets to do his schtick of the pathetic, snarky guy who can't get a girl for the life of him. It's no secret that his caustic remarks are my favorite thing about this series. Do not miss this, if you enjoy when David does that. The character gallery is always well-stocked with colorful personalities, and in spite of the stereotypes that are apparent in many of the portrayals, this holds a lot of truths about many types of people. This had its share of celebrities popping up, and in general the guests, recurring or otherwise, tend to be cool. The acting is well-done. While not every single episode was flawless, the laughs are guaranteed, and the finale manages to balance entertaining with sweetness and a nice, proper farewell to the show, in a way that few are able to. A lot of the gags have to do with humiliation, and there is gross-out/bodily function material, as well. There's usually quite a bit of eye-candy, most of it for the males. That's kind of a Levitan trademark, isn't it? This, and the aptly titled Stacked, which, for those who are unaware, stars Pamela Anderson... yeah. Then again, they're also jam-packed with punchlines that seldom fall flat. I have not watched Back to You thus far, I am going to, trust me, I'm too big a fan of Grammar to not. I recommend this to anyone who can imagine liking it. 8/10
dkrob In England this show came after Cheers, Friends and Everyone Loves Raymond which are very difficult acts to follow But it did it with a resounding 10 out of 10. The 5 main character I can't fault their performances were so good. The comedy was excellent and each character had their different strengths though I suspect that Jack Gallow was the fatherhead figure. I also found that the people who made guest appearances or new characters were of top quality. However the final episode was an absolute classic and the tears on the faces I suspect were real because the series and there working together was coming to an end. Very sadly the end of era that has been replaced in the UK by repeats of Everyone Loves Raymond which doesn't seem so funny after Shoot me. I must say that the ending of Shoot me was so superior to the end of Diane Chambers leaving Cheers which was abysmal. Lets hope these people aren't consigned to oblivion after the end of the series like so many people of successful sitcoms seem to be.
policy134 I prefer this show to other workplace sitcoms like Spin City or the awful Suddenly Susan because the characters are funnier. To compare further there is a show called "Veronica's closet" starring Kirstie Alley which theme is also fashion like this show but what a stinker. Here, we have some good character actors like George Segal, who also has an eye for comedy. Ironically, he and Kirstie Alley were co-stars in Look Who's Talking where they shared a hilarious scene where George Segal's head explodes. Never mind, I digress.The lead character, Maya, is kind of sweet. She's not a total babe but she has some huge breasts which are often commented on in the show. She can be a little righteous but in the end she is charming. It is also nice to see her bond with her father (George Segal) because he wasn't much of a parent to her in her youth.The three supporting characters Elliott, Nina and Dennis Finch are a little annoying especially Elliott who is supposed to be a ladykiller but looks more like a perverted nerd. Check the episode which deals with his high school reunion. Nina is a total airhead which is funny in small doses but not totally inspired. Dennis, played by ex-Saturday Night Live member, David Spade is more or less the same smarmy character which he does in his sleep.So to sum up there is something to recommend especially if you like hot young models. One of the guest stars was the totally hot Rebecca Romijn-Stamos from X-Men and if you like to see current or ex-SNL members. I think every well-known SNL'er has been a guest star. But if you are looking for something with a lesson watch Step by Step.
hillary1 I'm going to first preface this by saying I think David Spade is about as one dimensional and talentless as they come, and I thought his character did little more than suck up valuable air time in this show(although occasionally his ascerbic comments towards the incredibly self absorbed and vapid Nina were funny). I used to watch this show, I think because it came on in between Seinfeld and ER, but I didn't even know it had been cancelled until a few days ago. The best part of this show was probably the earnest Maya and the oversexed commitment phobe Elliott-I remember being very glad when she poured water over his head and kicked him out of her bed and life when he wouldn't marry her. Otherwise, I'm not sure how it went on as long as it did. George Segal was entertaining but predictable as the mogul Jack, and the rest of the cast, save Spade, were reliably entertaining but not a laugh riot or very cleverly written. Good time slots mean a lot, I guess.
