I stumbled upon this movie by accident and only chose it because of actor Joe Pantoliano. I wanted to see another movie that shows his range. (I recently watched "Feast of Seven Fishes" and liked his role in that movie too.)
I also enjoy a movie where there is a little to the imagination. A little romance-not the near soft-core porn that passes as "romance" these days. I thought the back story was helpful and that the characters were engaging and I appreciated the quirkiness in some parts of this movie. I won't give it away, you will need to pay attention. ;-) it's a nice, light, easy going movie.
I will definitely watch this again as the cinematography is beautiful as is the language. I felt connected to this movie and discovered later it is approximately two hours from where my own nonno is from.

Wow. I was looking for something different to watch and stumbled upon this gem. I am 3rd generation Italian American and we lived in a small town. Details like drinking wine out of any old glass, cigarette smoking and too many people in one house? Yep, this film got it right. This movie reminded me of going to my Grandparent's home with family (30+) getting together and eating a ton of food. Then on to Christmas Eve Mass (the only thing missing in this movie.) and back to Grandparent's home for breakfast! It was basically an all-night affair.
I am so glad I watched this movie. I felt like it was the 80's again and appreciated the story , the characters and the location. I enjoyed this movie and will add it to my Christmas rotation! Take a break from today's rom-coms and watch this movie.

It is nearly forty-three years after the initial airing of this episode and I feel it is one of the funniest. I was in junior high school when this show was on the air. I can remember the show and that it was funny but had no appreciation for the actors.
While Andy Kaufman's portrayal of Latka is funny, seeing Andy Kaufman literally transform into two different characters right before your eyes lets us see his comedic genius in action. It is sad to me that he didn't live past.thirty four years. I wish we could have seen more but I am grateful for the ability to rewatch these classic TV shows and gain a new appreciation for not only Andy Kaufman but the rest of the cast as well.

Utter rubbish. I cannot believe I wasted time watching these entitled, spoiled, selfish women who have no moral compass.
All of the "drama" is due to poor, shameful choices. I am almost (not quite) amused when these women are faced with the consequences of their childish behaviors. I suspect more than 75% of this "drama" is staged and mostly made up.
All these shows do is convince women that constantly griping, having no manners, no integrity or values is something they should try to emulate. I feel this is why I like the classics from the 30's through the 60's. When ladies dressed well, had manners and would not behave as these women do.
This is definitely not a show for anyone under 18.

If you have ever been cheated on, this movie should make you feel angry. Women like Meryl Streep's character piss me off. It is an insult to women that, given enough liquor, we will just toss our moral compass and self respect right out the window? The two main characters (Streep and Baldwin) act like two teenagers who cannot maintain enough self control to stop drinking or control their hormones. And what about poor Lake Bell's character who is really just a body? Because that really all we see of her character. Thanks feminism?
I didn't laugh one time during this "comedy." Further, I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.

Ugh! I dread sitcoms that play this card. I'm guessing the writers were on strike and everyone was at Kelsey Grammar's on a bender and came up with this very predictable, unfunny episode.
My least favorite episodes: Bar Wars. Boring. Of course a man with a last name that ends in a vowel is in an alleged "social club?" Save yourself 22 minutes and give this one a skip.
I like that this movies addresses PTSD and how debilitating it can be. I appreciated how the movie reinforces how we are all broken and dependent on God. The Donnie character is an excellent example of what can happen when we try to take care of things on our own.
As soon as I saw "Weinstein," I should have known this was gonna be garbage. Instead of focusing on Mrs. Thatcher career, it focused on her later, vulnerable years. So much opportunity to show history just flushed down the toilet.
I rarely review shows as most are not worth it. However, The Chosen is an amazing show and I want as many people as possible to know it. My granddaughters (6 & 7) loved season 1 and ask questions and talked about it all week.
Personally, I have been touched by the actors, the top notch production and the reminder of why I follow Jesus. I hope everyone watches this show at least once. Added bonus? It is free!!*
*I purchased season one because I love this show that much.

With this cast, I expected this to make to laugh at least once. To clarify, I am the target demographic, but found this boring and just a way to attempt to drop f-bombs onto most sentences. Quite honestly, if I had friends like this? They wouldn't be my friends for long.
I loved this show from episode one which is rare for me! I love the characters. Without spoilers, I cannot wait to see what happens with certain story lines! And the witty dialogue is fantastic.. John Goodman, Clark Johnson, Matt Malloy, & Mark Consuelo make a great ensemble! I also agree with other reviewers who make comparisons to VEEP, West Wing and Newsroom in the D.C./political arena but it is satire and everyone is fair game Democrats and Republicans.
If you are in anyway entertained by politics, DC, and cameos from IRL politicians and journalists, then give this show a try. C'mon, as Kevin Spacey, said, it's hard to make jokes about a town that Is one. This show does it well. Plus, it's an election year!

LOVED MST3K and this was good! I was transported back to Saturdays laughing until I cried at the witticisms of these guys.
I liked the disclaimer that they are having fun and not intending to hurt anyone's feelings. Side bar: Do I need to start injecting such disclaimers into my daily conversations? I was giggling within 5 minutes of the show beginning. That said, if you are overly sensitive and have zero sense of humor, do not watch this show. As yes, they definitely make fun of this guy. Not so exaggerated example: "The only way to determine if this shark is real, is to stick my hand into his mouth and see if he bites. Ahhhhh...he bit off half my hand!" The guys respond with, "You'll need more than a Snoopy band-aid for that."
Can't wait for more episodes!
