Ogosmith 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.

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

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Andrew Gold John Mulaney is a funny guy. There's no doubt about it; just watch his comedy special "New in Town" on Netflix. His delivery is deadpan, which may turn off some people, but once you understand that his humor presents itself in subtle, sarcastic tones, it's easy to see why Mulaney wanted to have his own sitcom - an edgy, modernized version of Seinfeld. Yeah, the Seinfeld comparison was inevitable. I got it out of the way early.The problem with Mulaney is that it got off on the wrong foot. The pilot was a disastrous mish mash of jokes from his stand-up routines, with the obligatory forced character introductions and sub par acting. The next few episodes weren't much better - characters were developed slightly but the chemistry was lacking. They weren't fleshed out enough and none of them were particularly likable; aside from Oscar, of course, played wonderfully by Elliot Gould as Mulaney's warmhearted openly gay hippie neighbor.When Mulaney does shine, it shines bright. Nothing shows this better than the recent stretch of episodes - "Worlds Collide", "French Roast", and "Power Moves" - which are examples of when the show actually feels like a sitcom, and not just some struggling comedian being put in awkward situations and reacting to them. They have genuine character development, interactions you actually care about, and every character has found their purpose.Jane, the tomboyish roommate that is easily annoyed and as sarcastic as she is crass. Oscar, the wise caregiver who provides an older generation's perspective to modern trivialities. Lou, the narcissistic boss who thrives on other people's suffering. Andre, the awkward pill-pusher who desperately wants to fit in. Motif, the oblivious mooching roommate who always has the best of intentions. And John, the struggling comedian working for a sociopath, having to deal with two polar opposite roommates and trying to find stability in the capitalist insanity that is New York.Some character combinations work better than others. For example, Oscar and Jane had magical moments together on "French Roast". It was the ultimate conundrum for Jane: having to tone down her crude personality to impress a guy, and this was paired with Oscar's hilariously machismo sense of 1950s etiquette. Jane and Lou had their moments on "World Collide", both of them as self-absorbed as the other and leeching off each other's company with the other being none the wiser. John and Motif have a similar childish comic mentality which makes the confrontations involving all three roommates a constant recipe for hilarity.Mulaney simply needs to find its groove. Now that John has gotten his rehashed stand-up jokes out of his system, he can start treating it like the sitcom it's supposed to be. The show is at its best when it's at its most subtle or most offensive, much like Mulaney's stand-up. Wise cracks like Oscar's "She was a dentist and one day said "enough!" and became a therapist," casually peppered into a conversation. Jane agreeing to work for Lou by stating "for $750 a day you can call me a dumb bitch." Lou and his demoralization of an employee, calling him a liar for saying his grandmother's in the hospital when she was actually dead. Jane catching John praying to himself and John's startled excuse that he "was just masturbating."I don't want to get into the acting performances, but to put it simply, John is the weak link. His neutral delivery is fine for when he's helping set up a joke, or even for the occasional dry punchline. But there are moments where his robotic line reading is just uninteresting and not at all captivating. Thankfully, that doesn't happen often, because Nasim Pedrad (Jane) essentially steals the show. Her character is the most realized - she has the best lines, and she's basically a negative, repulsive personality, which ensures the funniest confrontations. Martin Short and Elliot Gould are fantastic with what they are given. Gould could use more screen time, and Short's segments on his game show could be cut altogether and it wouldn't be much of a loss. But their performances are game, and they manage to turn otherwise unfunny dialogue into hiccups of guilty laughter.Once the writers take note of which jokes work and which don't, it will go a long way to helping Mulaney become the great sitcom it has the potential to be. That is, assuming it doesn't get canceled, which unfortunately is looking more and more plausible. Oh well, Fox has allowed worse shows on the air for longer- fingers crossed for Mulaney.

Pierreghali186 first mulaney have 2 roommates which Jerry doesn't and there is no 2 black men in Seinfeld thats a point for mulaney and Jane had a boyfriend at the pilot Elane dated jerry thats another point for mulaney , mulaney has great cast Elliot Gould and martin short are the funniest men ever and mulaney doesn't have a tall idiot YET and no bold man either and there was a tension between the cast of Seinfeld during the first few seasons which didn't get acclaimed at first just like mulaney despite mulaney cast has a chemistry a weird one a funny one and all of the haters you all judged mulaney based on the pilot my suggestion is to wait until the 12th episode the say : GOOD OR BAD NOTHING MORE , mulaney isn't dads the last unlaughable FOX series which actually got 24 episode so please don't judge mulaney on the pilot and other point for mulaney they have a lot of funny comedians so wait and lets see what happened :D

Daniel Bush MULANEY was a show I was excited to watch. I really liked his stand-up and have enjoyed his comedy writing. I just wish that there were some new material in this, as well as less clichéd characters/situations.Mr. Mulaney was very wooden in his performance, but that can get better, I think. All the characters surrounding him, with the exception of his neighbor (excellently played by Elliot Gould), were terrible sitcom clichés. Especially the "I look homeless but am wearing a blazer also I'm a stoner Zach Galafanakis(sp?) ripoff" character. He needs to go. And if we got to know the real people behind the "crazy friend who is a girl" and "token black dude", I'd be much more interested.One of the other reviewers here took the time to see every moment of the show as sexist. While there are some elements of that in the show, it is no worse than other shows(not just on fox). If that reviewer is reading this: I read your other reviews, and I am not sure you understand what entertainment is, nor understand that you are not nearly as intelligent as you believe yourself to be. If you had watched the stand-up special this is based on, he is pulling these situations from things that have happened in real life. He was not actually "chasing a woman", he actually was trying to catch a subway. However, because of extreme feminists(meaning those who don't really understand what feminism is), that woman assumed he was after her.(okay, rant done) Martin Short is so much more than the character he is being asked to play. Please give him some humanity. I really want him to succeed, because he is a wonderfully gifted actor and entertainer.The one very good moment that jumps out of my memory is the bring back of the prostate exam position for the lapel mic removal. That was what gives me hope for this show.

ShadowsBeneathTheLight Seems to me like your typical garbage show on fox but this actually has potential. I love John Mulaney's stand-up and like Seinfeld this show opens and closes with bits from his stand up. Sadly though they had to cut out or reword certain bits because it was "inappropriate" for cable which shocks me that the word rape is inappropriate for cable yet people can say Sh!t (been done in other shows not this one). Anyway the show at times acts out scenes from his more popular stand-up moments which is an interesting take on his stand-up. If you know the jokes then obviously the scenario will be predictable but never the less funny. If you don't know them then you might be confused a little. My main concern with the show is the annoying female character who is crazy and continually stalks/harasses/obsesses over her ex while at the same time freaks out/understand why people think that she's crazy and also flaunts her sexuality to get what she wants (usually info on the ex bf). She needs to go as she is in no way funny and only serves as an annoying distraction from the show's plot. Kill her off, make her move, just delete her from existence, whatever; with her gone better humor can be inserted into the show. I understand the rule that you need to have a female character in the show (we all remember what the pilot episode of Seinfeld was like) but here's a tip fox, pick a character people will relate to, like, and find funny. Guys won't like her because she's annoying/crazy, women will find her to be a poor and possibly offensive representation of an ex girlfriend, and the crazy chicks that she does personify will hate her the most because she reminds them that people find them crazy. Replace her and the show will have a chance to keep a first season going.
