Seth shows some range, and that he isn't a one trick pony in this fish out of water tale. It covers most of the cliches, tropes, and cheese associated with this type of film, but I found the plot a little unexpected and it does a decent job of keeping it fresh, even if the finish is nothing unexpected. Far from perfect, but it knows that, and delivers what it needs to without being preachy.

I thought the lack of a love interest was an excellent editorial choice.

I wouldn't go out of my way, but if you stumble on this it is worth a watch.

I like Will Ferrell, but not everything he does is funny to me. This was a prime example of him falling far short of funny. Yet, he was the funniest thing on the show, sad to say. This cast makes all the other casts look like comic geniuses.

I think I laughed twice during one of the skits, the whole rest of the show left me flat, even with the cavalcade of guest stars. The material is just that bad, only a few efforts to make fun of how bad the material was rose to the level of mildly amusing. They had a hard time getting the audience to laugh, mostly it was a nervous twitter at how awful things were going. And this is supposed to have been the best episode this season.

It had been a while since I'd tuned it, and I won't make that mistake (tuning in) again. Ever.

Put it out of our misery, Lorne!

The tips and recipes in this cooking show are standard fare, nothing special but far from terrible. The hostess, however, I find so phony and fake. She is incredibly annoying, couldn't stand her for even a whole episode.

If you've seen any of the commercial promos for this, you know what you are getting. If you aren't already annoyed, you might like the show, if you are even on the fence, I'd skip it in favor of just about any other cooking show.
