Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

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.

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

cjohnsen-32844 Not only does this show pull you in with it's intense reality but it's followed up with phenomenal writing and acting as well. The characters are casted ever so perfectly. The script was written with an easy flow rather than choppy awkward conversation. Will Arnett's character has such a real personality I think we can all connect with and say, "yeah, I know someone that broken" or "I've been that low at some point myself" he makes mistakes but ultimately he has a conscience. The chemistry between Will and David Sullivan make for an amusing story. If you haven't seen this and you enjoy a good, serious show from time to time, pick it up.

pattymcmanus Chip makes me want to break my computer--one too many guys in my youth were Chip. Best depiction of AA ever. And somehow they capture the Venice of my memory, in a crazy hilarious way. Everything is quirky, witty, fun. Not perfect but fascinating show. Sorry only 6 episodes this time.

jcjs333 This series could have been something or maybe not. So many American series have 'drugs and alcohol' stuck folks trying to not drink or whatever. 'Rescue' seems to have started it all. People making money off of the Alcoholics Anonymous name. I suppose the producers think there are enough drunks and drug users out there that they can make money off of them. However, the goings-on are so trite and the folks aren't familiar with AA. Will gets on his knees 'asking for help with his 'DEFAULTS OF CHARACTER'. Poor writing by someone who doesn't know what they are talking about. The slightest familiarity with AA or people in AA know it's 'DEFECTS OF CHARACTER'. 'Defaults' of character is pretty funny though. We are born with 'default' characters like 'original sin', eh' The acting is OK but all is samo samo. Lying, lying and more lying. All the guys do is commit lies of commission and lies of omission (the worst lies of all). They are irresponsible liars wandering around not knowing what they are doing half the time. George Basil as 'Cooler' is a cool , likable character. The women don't seem to have any 'defaults of character', just the guys. I liked the first season but, even, it got old. You could watch 2 episodes and see all the seasons. Flaked got to be offensive in it's ignorance of sobriety, AA and that whole community. I think mediocre producers and writers just wanted to see how much money they can make by jumping on the 'addiction' band wagon where there has been a lot of money to be made but it's getting so old. The show 'drags' samo samo. The reviews seem to be in favor of this. I'm guessing mostly from 'social media' folks. Instead of seeing Chip as any hero or martyr i see him as grossly self centered addicted to lying which most addicts are. Their drug isn't their substance but a side effect they are liars. If ya notice , i think 'Chip' says 'i'm sorry' 100 times during the series. Instead of saying 'i'm sorry' , which is meaningless to those saying it and means the opposite , BE SORRY by actions. Years ago a woman, to my denial, pointed out to me 'take a look at how many times you say 'i'm sorry'. A good indicator of an irresponsible liar is a person who is addicted to saying i'm sorry. Chip isn't, wasn't sorry. He's a cry baby.

mr_big17 Will Arnett stars in this beautiful comedy/drama Netflix Original. The whole show is about change: Chip (Arnett) refuses to change anything about his life. He rides a bike, does not have a cellphone, sells the same stool since 2008. When his friends, entourage and town try to move on from the way things are, he will do whatever is in his power to prevent that. Also, the past is literally chasing Chip. Great writing, great acting and directed in such a comfortable manner that really illustrates how the characters perceive their life in this city that is stuck on hold. The soundtrack is amazing and fits perfectly with the tone and the colours of the show. I strongly feel that it is the most underrated show on Netflix.
