More drama than comedy
934419
When we rented this we thought it was going to be an over the top comedy. It actually was a bit more of a drama than comedy; it's a fun story that is kind of original. Matt Dillon is easily the best character that steals every scene he is in. The relationship between Kristin Wig and Darren Criss is a little weird, although they only have a 14 year difference in age, in real life. In the movie he looks like a baby faced kid and she looks like a middle aged young professional.

Would have been better as a serious drama instead of a quirky comedy.  I cant get past several major plot holes, like, how do they still have electricity?  Why live in a run-down camper and not some log cabin?  Why live sooooo far away from your source of supply, like food and medicine?  I also would have like to have seen what would have happened if a second female had shown up.

In addition to the above issues, the acting was not that great and the film played more like a TV movie, with scenes set to funny music and weird dialog.  It was a good attempt, but fell somewhat flat.  If you want to see some more realistic end-of-the world films, check out The Road or Testament.

Worth seeing - not a comedy though.  I was hoping for something I could laugh at.  It had a couple parts but mostly was a drama.  It wasn't a complete waste of time to watch, we got through it, but it wasn't a "Feel good comedy" which is how I filtered and found it. It had some good parts and was entertaining.  I cannot fault it for what it is.  Goo dmovie.

Well, I bought this book expecting a very good comedy book. Well, after reading it all in a day, I can say that in that way I was disappointed. I did not laugh as much as I did in a, shall we say, a Terry Pratchett novel. But I did chuckle at some of the moments (specially at the end. The people at the gym must think I'm insane)
The thing is, it's that it seems that Hiaasen decided to divide the book in two. The serious parts and the funny parts. The serious parts are great, and the funny parts are great as well, but when he tries to mix both of them, the quality drops. If he decided to do the important parts in a serious way, then he should've dropped the entirelly serious parts altogether, because I ended up not caring about the scenes that are funny-serious. And sometimes they WERE important for the plot (which is surprisingly good, for a fishing thriller :)
You should definitely buy this book. The plot is a lot better than I thought, but it's not as funny as I thought it would be(with the surprising number of positive reviews and all)... A fair exchange in my opinion.

Mildly entertaining, but continues to be mostly Mr. Maher's political statements thinly veiled as comedy.  I enjoy comedy for relaxation and entertainment, but when it is a beginning to end statement of (either) one or the other party's views, it really just is more of a bash session.  Also, the discussion is very relevant to a certain point in time and history.

Kind of bitter, kind of depressing, as he never really offers a 'fix', just a bash.  It's vaguely reminiscent of the latter George Carlin routines.

You will laugh for a while if you agree with his politics; not so much if you don't.  And, this particular one is more of a history lesson than anything current.

I thought it would be more dramatic, and I was wrong, but not disappointed. It doesn't always have a dramatic mood, it's mostly comedy, but there are moments when it goes a little dramatic.

Billed as a comedy, it isn't really funny so much as situationally painful.

By reading the synopsis, I thought that this book would be far more dramatic than it was. It was okay enough to get through, but it seemed to bore me in a lot of places.
Ty and his wife Jessy are happily expecting twins. But Tara, Ty's ex-wife is very angry about their divorce, and wants to ruin everything for his new family. So she takes over their lives, and the more she gets involved, the more troublesome things become. Unexpected accidents occur, and Jessy feels that Tara is behind it all. The story jumps from one point to the other, and was underdeveloped I felt. I lost where Tara went in between all these troubles.

I saw this DVD at a friend's house a few weeks ago.
While Alyson Hannigan was a great actress, the movie relied TOO MUCH on bathroom humor.  I enjoyed the comedic scenes and the allusions to other movies, but the gross factor in several skits seemed excessive.  In addition, while there was great humor, the movie seemed too much like its predeccesor, the "Scary Movie" series.  If you truly want vomit-producing humor, get this.  Otherwise, there are better comedies available.

The movie was a little Depressing.  I thought it would be funnier since it was listed as a comedy.
If you are looking for a "feel good" movie.  This is not it.

I rated this book only 2 stars because I was not able to finish it. It was simply too much drama and not enough action.  That said, if you are a person that likes drama and listening to strangers talk about their kids, then you will probably like this book a lot.

The book starts out strong but quickly turns into a formula of 1) Something happens (usually), 2) Meet someone new, 3) Discuss their kids, 4) Discuss my kids, 5) Discuss my feelings.  Repeat this about 26 times.  I started skimming the pages at about page 150 and finally put the book down about 500 pages later.

I added one star to my review because, although simplistic, the book is well written and I did not notice any spelling or grammatical errors.

It's a bit too contemporary and aimed at juveniles for my taste. It's more like a bunch of modern day folks at a Renaissance Faire than a historical play. I don't mind the comedy, but it's just too sitcom for my taste.

Wasn't what I was expecting. It's a drama revolving around a comedy, with a great cast. I'm sorry they only made one season of it.

It looked like it was going to be very intriguing by the way it started, but then it got predictable and I lost interest. If not for some of the comedic moments, I would have turned it off. I think it is more of a parody than a drama.

"The Milionairess" is a stage play that did not translate well onto the silver screen.  The filming was done many years ago and the acting is "over-the-top" to the point of haming-it-up.  The story line is good, but presented in a somewhat hysterical and at times almost frenzied style.  As a stage play it would have been good, but as a film, I do not recommend unless you are interested in the history of theatre and acting.  I do not think G.B. Shaw would have been pleased with this production.  The typical British humour seems lost in the frenzy of the acting.

This is a well done drama and mystery.  Like some other reviewers, I found the level and type of violence to be too much and exited the show before the end of an episode.  I won't be watching it again.

I was looking for a comedy to watch when I ran across The Wedding Weekend.  I figured with Molly Shannon in the cast it would be funnier than it was.  Honestly, I think the drama made the movie better.
