Le cose che amo di te

This show has an interesting premise, I enjoy it very much. Amanda Bynes is the funniest. The jokes are original, the drama catches my attention, and the actors are just great. I would rate this 9 stars out of 10. Good job, and keep the episodes coming!

This has become one of my favorite shows on television. At first I only watched it for its awesome theme songs but I have become hooked on it. Every week I enjoy watching it to see what kind of predicament Holly and Val get themselves into. I think the show is very well cast and has become truly hilarious. The leads and supporting cast are both excellent, and this is a perfect vehicle for Amanda Bynes. Yay WB! I think that with a few more seasons this will become even better. The characters are well fleshed-out, and I think it will only get better with time. I like it. Not only is it well cast, but the actors work well together in a great ensemble.

*** out of ****

Whether you live in the U.S., or in Canada (and if you have cable), you'll be able to enjoy the laugh-out-loud comedy of 'What I Like About You'.

'What I Like About You' stars Amanda Bynes as Holly, Jennie Garth as Val, Simon Rex as Jeff, and Wesley Jonathon as Gary. Together, they are hilarious. Amanda Bynes gets to express a more mature type of comical material, leaving the little kid in 'All That' and 'The Amanda Show' behind.

Jennie Garth, previously starring in 'Beverly Hills 90210' seems kind of tedious and uptight as the older sister to Bynes, but she appears to loosen up into a nice, more humorous groove after awhile.

The story is like this: Holly (Bynes) has to move in with her older sister, Val (Garth), after their Father is moving to Japan. These two don't exactly go together like whipped cream and pumpkin pie (or whatever it is you think is a great combo!), but they love each other, and learn to get along in the end. After all, it's for the greater good!

I recommend this show to anyone who needs a laugh.

I had fears when I watched the first episode of "What I Like About You".

First, Jennie Garth. Sure she's beautiful and she knows how to act, and its shown in her 90210 days. But 90210 and WILAI are two different genres, one is aimed for the drama and the other show is mostly comedy. So was it a good idea putting a dramatic actress into a comedy? Most of the time, it is.

Second, Amanda Banes. Oh boy. Up until this show she was up in the hall of shame next to Shea LeBeauf (and if you've seen I, Robot you'll know what I'm saying). She was decent in All That but when she got her own show she began acting goofy, way too goofy, so goofy that even Jim Carrey will stare at her blankly. Goofy is good, but not too much. Last year she was fine on her movie (I think it's called "What a girl wants...) but WILAI is her best performance yet thanks to her wit.

So the basic plot is that Holy (Banes) is moving to her older sister house Valerie (Garth) because her father is moving to Japan. And from there will be plenty adventure! Of a teenage girl and her older sister. Also in the cast are Garth's boyfriend Simon Rex playing Jeff, the silly yet caring boyfriend and Wesley Jonathan playing Gary, Holy's best friend. The character of Gary is fun but most of the time his annoying. On the contrary, Jeff is a better character, Simon Rex did a good job here by reflecting his "stupid" personality, but not too much.

After the first season Simon Rex left the show (unfortunately) and there were plenty of new characters to fill in the slot in the second season: Holy's best friend Tina, Val's co-worker Lorene and finally the "more-than-friends" Vince and Henry. Holy has a relationship with Henry, the nice and gentle guy but later she falls in love with Vince and the plot gets tangled and more complicated than it was on the first season. At the end another great character leaves the show, Henry, and I hope the show will get better on the third season.

Overall, most of the characters are nice, Gary is starting to be more and more bearable but Tina seems mostly useless. If I have to rate this show it's a tough call. The first season was funnier but the second has better plot. So in the end I'll say this, if the writers can just combine the comedy and plot twists together the show will be even better. Anyway nice job and as much as I hate to say it, Amanda Bynes is on the right track.

The premise and scripting of WILABT are both reasonable, and compared to many comedies out there, they're excellent. However, by the standards of Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond and Frasier, this is a distinctly average show.

What makes me watch it every time it's on are Amanda Bynes and Wesley Jonathon. Jonathon is a great character actor, and livens up what could be a dull character (the "Best Friend"). The part of Henry is excellently written, which surprised me, as the Val and Jeff characters are both weak.

But as I said above, Amanda Bynes makes this a good show. Easily the most talented teen on television, and in the top 10, whatever age, of current times, she's a great asset to the show. Rubber faced, with what could be described as a "beauty in repose", she takes a part that's been poorly-written, with physical humour that could easily look horrible, and makes it funny.

What America may have found here is a true star - not a mildly talented actress like Lindsay Lohan who has the scripting to make her a star, or a "piece of ass" (to quote one critic) like Hillary Duff...but a true superstar. Long make she reign as Queen of Teens.
