Wonderfully offbeat film!

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I recently saw the celebratory extravaganza dedicated to television royalty, producer/director, James Burrows, which featured the stars of his past hits like "Taxi", "Friends", "Cheers", "Frasier", "Will & Grace", the list goes on & on.... and THIS show was set to be his next hit. Well, I like the show so far- find it pretty amusing, but not sure if it will follow along the lines of those previous shows, ratings-wise. Patrick Warburton & Carrie Preston star as two parents with "empty-nest syndrome" whose 2 grown-up daughters return to live at home after failing to make a living in the "real world". This seems to be more and more of a common ailment in modern society. Kid goes to school, gets degree in some arts program, finds they can't make a living at it, and either gets a job at Wal-mart or Mickey D's, or returns to live at home with mom and dad. So, while I can see modern America relating to this show, I'm not sure they'll wanna be reminded of it every week..??? LOL Stacy Keach has an amusing role as Warburton's old school dad who comes in to mix it up every now and again.

We were surprised that this show is created by a woman because all of the female characters are so shallow and stereotypical and ignorant. The storyline, the text, and the vocabulary are demeaning not just to women but to humanity in general. Baffling.We are huge fans of Patrick Warburton. He's the reason we watched these first three episodes. He had several hilarious one-liners. His is the only character that has any decency or depth at all. The others are bor-ring and annoying and we're just not willing to spend our time watching boring and annoying. Like the actors, just not the characters.Hopefully the show will get better. It has a good premise. Hopefully they'll move past using foul language and bleeps (both are witless) as well as foul imagery and references ("crappin' on therapy"? Really?). Hopefully all of the characters will actually show some character, backbone, and intelligence. Hopefully there will be topics other than sex, looks, and drugs.Not sure whether we'll tune in again or not.

I don't know why people think this show is crap. I find it a good show to chill out to. I find it realistic. Beside Mirandas character which I don't like. It feels like how families are now a days. They deal with things that are more common in everyday life . Parents dealing sec and the father has issues and resentment towards the father aka the grandfather. One teen is out experimenting and partying. The other teen is a super nerd that isn't very sociable.I'm 29 and the young adults around don't know how good they have it. I had my first real paying job at 13. By 16 I was paying rent. I got my own pager and then my own cell. The teenagers and young adults live off their parents and their parents pay for everything. My own brother got his first job at 26 and he's younger then me. The show isn't amazing but it's pretty OK

Given the premise of a packed house with returning siblings then might I suggest you watch the Australian series above. This is a family show that has good acting and excellent writing. The characters are written with realistic family values and dialogue, and are fully expanded as the series goes along. There is no sensationalism and the usual Hollywood sex scenes that add nothing to the storyline. This rip off is diabolical!! A complete waste of money and time. Bad writing and unfunny dialogue does not a success make. I believe viewers are sick to death of exploitative and manipulative TV. They relate more to family values and truthful situations. AVOID like the plague.
