    Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
    Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
    Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
    Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
    Eddie_weinbauer The pilot got me hooked,but then after the pilot it started to get into the same old situation comedy, you've seen before. It just got predictable and boring.It wasn't completely wasted though there were a few situation that made me chuckle,but as the show progressed they were few and far between. The actors are doing a okay job with what they got.It's just that, what they got was so used up, and seen so many times before. Which saddens me cause the story had potential to be a okay comedy show.
    Je Desp This is my first review on here ever, and I only did it cause I was surprised at how bad the reviews of this show are. I personally find it entertaining and pretty funny. It's not like rolling on the floor laughing, but for me nothing is. I rarely laugh out loud at shows with the exception of Broad City or something, but with these kind of 20 min mainstream comedy shows I NEVER laugh as they are usually horrible. This one is actually entertaining and funny. So not sure why it's getting bad reviews. You should definitely check it out and see for yourself, and don't rely on the few bad reviews that it has so far. It's funnier than the other new similar style show "Kevin From Work" which for some reason has much better ratings. I watch both and find the other one just OK, but I laughed more often at Significant Mother.
    johnhchappel I find the whole premise of this show distasteful and VERY implausible. I do not have a problem with older woman/younger man relationships, I prefer them myself. What I do find distasteful is that it is between a guys mother and his best friend and in the apartment that the friends share, it shows that they gave no consideration to the son/friend. All relationships affect other people and their feelings/relationships should at least be considered even if they are going to be discarded or ignored. I do not know about other people but I would not want to try to sleep each night knowing that my "best friend" is banging my mother in the next room. I would not be comfortable getting up in the morning and seeing my mother in her underwear at the breakfast table.My first reaction would be to move out of the apartment, if they want to have a relationship fine but it does not have to be thrust into the sons face every moment of the day. This type of situation would adversely affect the relationships of the son with both the "best friend" and mother. In fact I would no longer consider him my best friend. What is even more implausible is that any middle aged woman (especially a very beautiful & sexy one, ex Bay Watch babe) would even consider having a serious long term relationship with a man that behaves like a child and who's IQ probably does not even reach double digits. The only thing they could have in common is sex which is not enough to build a long lasting relationship on, trust me, I know from experience.This is indicative of some of the morals being espoused on US TV shows these days. Another example is Pretty Little Liars, 15yr old girl having a sexual relationship with her 20-something teacher, wrong and illegal on so many levels, not to mention that they meet in a bar and have sex within minutes in a dirty disgusting toilet (at least 2 laws broken right there, 15yr old in a bar & statutory rape/sex with a minor).
    hthbrr2 I am a comedy fan. Let's start out there. I am a fan of even the most screwball comedies. It's crazy, well who cares I laughed! BUT.....this show is crazy WITHOUT the laughs.It's about a very attractive 'older' woman dating a very sculpted torso. I mean the show showed so many $ex scenes I almost forgot it was a TV show and just some soft core p0rn my TV accidentally picked up. I'm sure if I take out the p0rn scenes there will only be a couple minutes of actual dialogue.That's the problem with modern TV go for the cheap shot/thrill/lowest common denominator. All I remember from the pilot was two people constantly getting it on. Then some guy in a restaurant or something....Again the show is implausible. Not just because the set up is bad, the acting is bad, the delivery is bad. But because a guy THIS young running his OWN restaurant in THIS economy? ?????? Umm.....yeah this show is on the CW for a reason. Might as well be labeled a fantasy.Which brings me to my next point. What the CW does is sell fantasies to people. Look at the Vampire Diaries, 90210, The Originals, Beauty and the Beast, etc.....ALL people are generally young attractive models. In real life there are ALL people existing in the world. Old, kids, disabled, various looks/races/weights/etc....This show skews so young, with it's vulgar content I am VERY concerned who the intended audience is. The people in the show all act like CHILDREN! Disturbing.....Anyways this show is so implausible that it makes no sense. Seems like more of an exercise in a drama class. Yeah, the acting is THAT bad. These people were CLEARLY casted for their looks not acting skills. The woman playing the 'older' woman is 44. MOST 44 year olds don't look like that. And not to be mean but most 20 something guys are chasing women of their own age or YOUNGER. HELL MOST MEN OF ANY AGE are chasing teen girls/20 yo women..... I really HATE how they make a TV show SO implausible. It creates a false sense of security for women. "Well in that show that 40 something woman got a young man so can I." Nope just in TV land sorry. Most divorced 40 something and older women are viewed as old washed up chopped liver. Very mean and WRONG. But these are the facts. And most 40 something men do get their teen girls and 20 something women or women much younger them themselves, why? Because they purchased them.....Only watch this show if you have no brain and/or like soft core p0rn. Not intended for intelligent people, people with common sense, or values.
