StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Becca Kelley I loved this show - quick and funny episodes. My mom, my boyfriend and I each laughed nearly constantly throughout the first two episodes we've seen.Two teenagers, one who barely got her credits to graduate (Molly), the other who is valedictorian and Stanford-bound (Junior), learn they are going to have a child. The moms are supportive and try to keep the dads in line (one is a Latino boxer, the other a Caucasian orthodontist, who are immediately at heads with each other). There are jokes made about everything from overreacting to what not to during pregnancy, to patriarchal aspects of society and the need for feminism, to simply various aspects of family life as the two families try to figure out their role in helping their teenage son and daughter in their upcoming pregnancy.It's an interesting dynamic to see two teenagers pregnant and in love, two supportive mothers who have become friends, and two dads who can't get along with each other. How this affects Molly's parents plan to be empty-nesters, how it affects Junior's acceptance into Stanford, and simply how things are going to work is interesting to watch, especially with the various levels of conflict amongst family members, wives trying to get their husbands to be kind and civil, and the humor mixed in made for a great, care-free, half-hour comedy to watch.There was also no fake laughter in the show, which I preferred.It really was a great show and I would recommend it to anyone. I hope another network picks it up.
SnoopyStyle Two families are forced together when their kids have an unplanned pregnancy. Ricardo Chavira and Mike O'Malley play the dads, and they don't get along. Mary McCormack is one of the moms who also has an unexpected pregnancy. Justina Machado is the other mom. The actors playing the teens aren't anything special. The dads' constant bickering is very distracting. Although punching balls is always funny. Mary McCormack has a little more to do, and looks slightly better by comparison.There is nothing new in this show. At least they don't have the annoying laugh track. But other than getting punched in the nuts, there isn't much to laugh at. The teens aren't funny at all. The dads are barely tolerable. Only Mary McCormack is watchable.The emphasis seems to be about the adults. I think that misses the comedic point. It seems much more logical and funny if they center the show on the kids. They have lots more to deal with. You can introduce their friends. The parents are better off as co-stars. When push comes to shove, there is no rules to say that in-laws have to be in each other's lives 24-7. But there are reasons that parent-kid relationship is 24-7.
WRITER629 Simply put, this show is not funny on any level. For one reviewer to even mention it in the same breath as All In The Family or The Odd Couple shows how little that reviewer knows about either of the those two well-written shows.Every contrivance possible is thrown into this mess of a pilot episode; the only thing missing is the kitchen sink.Despite the hard work of the cast, WTTF is beyond lame. It lacks anything resembling creativity and is dreary in its execution. Speaking of execution, I hope this show is sent to its rightful place: cancellation.
hi-hellotoyou This show sucks in so many ways. The white dad is ugly and his wife is not. Can we pair up actors with the same looks? Also, I am SICK of the ethnic thing……..move on already! Yes, the Mexicans are smart and the white people are dumb – I get that is what you are promoting! The white girl is stupid and the Mexican boy is smart and cultured. This is just another propaganda show!Sadly, the show was well made and I might have liked it if it not all the punches were played against the Caucasian couple! (I guess I can't post this unless I have ten lines so I will just keep adding stuff until I get ten lines.) You took off Mike and Molly for this? Mike and Molly had nice plot line, Welcome to the Family does not.
