    Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
    Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
    Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
    AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
    edelweiss-jolinar As the title of my review said: crushed that the show has been cancelled. I was soooo looking forward to see how the events/story would developed. Darn you people who cancelled the show for whatever reasons. The actors and the action was so good!!!
    Chappy Watched I saw the trailer for this and it peeked my interest and now after watching it, it wasn't a bad show.It has a pretty big main cast, all of them awesome, especially Malin Akerman, Bradley Whitford and Marcia Gay Harden, but there were some points where it felt like there were too many chefs in the kitchen (5 adults and 3 kids). I didn't really like the character of Meg Gomez (Natalie Morales), who played the best friend of the lead character, Kate Harrison (Akerman) and just felt she was unnecessary and just a filler.There weren't any laugh out loud moments for me but it was funny and entertaining, including cameos from Megan Mullally, Ken Marino and Florence Henderson.It was entertaining enough to watch but not something I would watch again and not something that I'm upset about being cancelled.
    myamazon-92484 This show was not misogynistic in any way, on the contrary, it was a show that celebrated women. Yes the wonderful Bradley Whitford is the main man but the show does not revolve around him. Rather, it revolves around the women in his life. And although some surface reader types might have looked at him and seen his new young wife and assumed she was a Trophy Wife the whole point is that she was absolutely not a trivial piece of arm candy. The whole point was that she was a sweet, funny and slightly insecure young lady who was trying desperately to fit in to a ready made and very tightly bound family. Kate, the main character, takes on this Herculean task for one main reason, she truly loves this man. And his children. Kate has a very hard road to travel since the new man in her life comes complete with three children and two ex-wives, all of whom are much smarter and more capable than she (well Jackie and Warren may have been the exception).She comes in and learns and learns and grows up along the way. This show told the story of so many families who are trying to figure out how to not allow divorce (even multiple) divorces to rob their children of a tight family unit. It featured excellent acting, unique storytelling and child actors that were more than just cute. The cast had an unmistakable chemistry, the show was light and full of love. Instead of the usual, tired female types we so often see in TV land these women were bright, vibrant, intelligent and deeply flawed. Very human. The children were the sort of overachievers that are usually overlooked in sitcom land in favor of slutty, dumb and smart mouthed kids.I am so very sad that this wonderful show was not given a chance to grow just because some people could not get past the title. But I am grateful we had it for the time we did. "Lice and Beary White" and "Twas the Night before Christmas, or Twas It?" were two of the funniest sitcom episodes I have ever seen in my life. I only hope that they will finally put it all on DVD.
    hethomps Many have theorized that the title of the show is intended to be ironic, but it appears to be dead on. A wealthy, middle-aged man marries a much younger woman. What an original plot. I really cannot appreciate a show where a man is the center of the lives of three adult women. A show in which his ex-wives are just unable to move on without him. No matter how you spin it, that is the basic premise of the show. This premise is misogynistic at best. This is made worse by the fact that the creators regard themselves as feminists. I really hope the viewing public continues to turn this one off and it fades into oblivion.
