mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Frank Dux Amusing TV show, though it's canceled, about the adventures of a couple of private investigators, great performances, on the streets of San Diego.I decided to watch it because some reviews I read which said it was a magnificent show. Well, I wouldn't say it reached that level; it's true it has a strange soul (maybe all that light and brightness, most common thing in South California) The big hit is the performances, specially of the p.i. couple with great chemistry, the ambient and it's entertaining. Opening theme (Gunfight Epiphany of Rob Duncan) helps with its happy tune to strengthen the whole show.Less strong points: soft plot which it leads the audience to tedium sometimes (but characters come to rescue it) and the lack of antagonist with charisma.So, easy to see show, but I understand the reason why it was canceled, and people didn't follow it (however, without a great campaign behind and in a small channel is difficult to keep on surviving).

farquarg Several other reviews have described the plot line so I won't rehash what's already been said. I finished watching this show on Netflix, having been completely unaware of it's existence while it was on the air. I have to say FX did a terrible job of advertising the show. Had the put the effort behind Terriers that they put behind American Horror Story or Nip/Tuck; perhaps it would have survived longer.But then again maybe the show lasting a single season is for the best. Too many shows start out fantastic but stay on the air too long. This show's major plot line starts in episode 1 and is mostly resolved by the end of the show. It's obvious that the writers thought there's be a season 2, but the ending isn't really a cliff hanger. The episode 13 provides enough closure that fans can feel satisfied. Throughout the series you see Hank evolve and move on with his life. At the start he's still hopelessly in love with his ex-wife, Gretchen. He's a recovering alcoholic that you believe will fall off the wagon at any moment. But by the end, the viewer really has hope that he's turned his life around.Britt, starts out as a lovable loser but proves to be much more than that. He shows that he's serious about his relationship with Katie and doesn't want to screw it up. Katie is the one to make the mistake, and Britt compounds that mistake by making one of his own. But the Britt at the end of the series is different from Britt at the beginning.The most remarkable thing about the show is that growth of the characters doesn't feel forced. It seems the natural progression based upon events in their lives. The setting of the show, San Diego, is refreshing. I highly recommend this show. With 13 episodes at around 40 minutes a piece, it's not a huge commitment. You will thank yourself for taking the chance on this fantastic show.

zceraj After 4 episodes of this show I couldn't believe it got canceled. After 10 episodes I was getting the idea why it was canceled. By the final episode, I had to force myself to watch it. What started out as a fun show about two shabby private detectives trying to make a buck (a show I would watch - a bit NCIS-ish), with a good back story and very likable actors, quickly evolved into a sloppily written and poorly executed moralizing Eco-warrior yawn of a show. For me, what defines a good show is when all the bases are covered and every angle explained. You can't watch a show where the leads keep doing stupid things over and over again, when there are viable and much better alternatives present and obvious. You can't watch a show where the actors keep spewing clichés with very little conviction. Admittedly, the two male leads are actually the best part of the series and deserve a better show and the two female leads are not too shabby either. What betrays them is the writing, over and over again. This is a show that would have gone over well in the 80s and early 90s, but today, with so many awesome, complex and morally ambiguous shows available, not so much. I vote for a redo, with better writers and a much narrower focus.

smsteinhour-64-627001 This show was so well written and the cast had such great chemistry, I still can't believe it was cancelled by FX. FX didn't actively promote the show and I think they dropped the ball here. Too bad. This was an excellent drama with great, real characters. Donal Logue is a fine actor and played an ex-cop with an alcoholic past. The character was often shown at AA meetings dealing with his problems in a very real and troubling way. I hadn't seen that before and it was inspiring. I still hold out hope that it might get new life on a different network but sadly, most TV is about cheap reality shows with insipid people wallowing in shallow, petty, mock-drama. No thanks. I like my drama with some art to it.
