SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

polymath234 Too bad it didn't get more time to develop. One of those shows I so wish more people, esp women, knew about. Original and savvy and dark and hilarious. What more do you want?

alphawave2012 From the great mind of Laura K. and D. Punch, comes a show about losers who win at living life. Jackie tries so hard in a town of idiots to push her screenplays of intelligencia. While Tara, her best friend, is succeeding without really trying and sleeping on the next opportunity.Dark-sarcastic, and very smart, but at the same time it's sprinkled with stupidity, and happiness. Like life it has it's ups and downs. But has you laughing all the way through. It has you thinking on the obscure references and bitch slaps you with present pop culture.While IFC (which runs the series exclusively) has only shown Season One, and only three episodes of Season 2; what has come out, is well worth watching again and again.

pancake_repairman She has a problem with her plumbing and then has a conversation with her mother about nothing. That's 2 minutes of content. It's like gritty realism about stuff that isn't gritty or in any way remotely interesting. It's like the possibility that some things that aren't generally depicted in fiction are left alone because there is nothing interesting about them just wasn't considered. Cues are taken from all the cable dramadies, and when you combine that with a distinct lack of a creative imagination or any unique personal experiences in life to draw inspiration from, this is what you get. I guess the idea is that you're supposed to still be so fascinated with the mechanics behind the media entertainment industry, in spite of how saturated TV has been with that topic in the last few years, that it can be taken to an even more tediously personal-detail-filled level and remain interesting. Laura's voice sets her demeanor at a permanent state of exasperation which becomes grating fast. This lack of emotional range is the nail in the coffin.

LivingDog Laura Kightlinger is a dream come true. Smart sharp witted talent that cuts through all the baloney of making it in Hollywood. There is one line I tell people about (this is the spoiler - but it's only one line): An utterly superficial red-head sleeps her way to the top of the pile. She writes a "How-to-" book of little if no worth. At a class reunion Laura's character "Jackie Woodman" and her best friend from film college run into this feline succubus who exchange claw marks. Later a bunch of of them are talking and as it turns out one of them has made some real success - he collects projects for his studio.Naturally the red-haired thing goes all wet and starts purring all over him - fat, doofy, unattractive Berringer. So out comes Laura's (Jackie's) six-shooter and says: "Oh comon', when we were in college you wouldn't have noticed Berringer if he popped out of your birth canal!" (for which I am still laughing)See it - you will NOT be disappointed. 10+/10-LD_________________________________________________my faith: http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/jbc33/
