    Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
    Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
    Konterr Brilliant and touching
    ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
    hddu10 For months leading up to the premier, the series was hyped as "from the creators of Will and Grace"...which was code for "another gay-themed sit-com". Yet despite every episode having to do with gay double entendres, gay comparisons, homoerotic story-lines (one of the most cringe-worthy being the episode where everyone starts ogling Todd Grinnell's character in the gym when it is revealed he has a supposedly large member) none of the actual characters were gay. The series sought to blur the lines between "metrosexual" (every male cast members was apparently done up by the "queer eye" crew) and being gay, especially in NYC. Yet at the same time, we were supposed to have some sort of schadenfreude relationship with the Seth Green character for being borderline obnoxious alpha-male, and laugh/cheer when he received his inevitable embarrassing comeuppance every episode...which didn't work since he is 2 feet shorter than everyone else in the cast, so it simply came off as sad and a bit cruel. I can't remember if this show lasted 3 or 4 episodes, but either would have been too long.
    Xander Seavy (RiffRaffMcKinley) Let's think, people. We have a winning cast, tiptop writers, and directors who know how to channel both into a winning combination. "Four Kings" unfortunately joined the ranks of obnoxiously short-lived shows... much like the original "Battlestar Galactica" (1978) and "Dilbert" (1999).From the creators of the infinitely-worse "Will & Grace," "Four Kings" is just simply the story of four friends. Maybe this doesn't cut it for some people, but this show had it all. It was never off, and always on. Especially great standouts are Seth Green as rampant horndog Barry and Shane McRae as Bobby, the "Drunk Cuddler." I cannot wait until the entirety of this magnificent sitcom graces store shelves with its presence on DVD.
    bsy1029 I realize that if NBC pulls "Four Kings" after a short run, it won't be one of a few. But I have to disagree with the harsh review. I just saw "Elephant in the Room" and I thought that the jokes were pretty unremarkable, but the acting and the plot really stood out. Bonus points to the creators for making an interesting opening title--its artistic but not too long. The actors have chemistry, which pulls them through some of the more mundane dialog.Some shows (espcially sitcoms) can make you feel like you've just wasted 30 min watching nothing. For "Four Kings," you know you've just wasted 30 min, and you're proud of it.
    ksmie1962 I really liked the show, the interaction between the guys, the flash backs to when they were young. All was good. I especially liked how Ben is the favored character while poor Seth Green is the unlucky one. The huge granny underwear was a hoot. I loved how Ben picked his buddies when it hit him how self involved and selfish his girlfriend was. I think that this series could be the new all male friends, the potential is there and it was cute, funny, charming, gross, and all the things a good comedy needs. I think people should give it a chance. Hopefully people who are expecting a Will & Grace clone will realize that this is different and just go with it.
