There is nothing I want to write about this show other than I cannot stand to even watch the advertisements on TV for it.
I should preface this by saying that I never saw the film on which this is based. I watched the trailer for the Season 3 premiere which made it seem like an action-packed tour de force. Instead it was a tour de farce of cardboard characters, stiff acting, forgettable dialogue and a script that made no sense.
It dragged in the middle and I felt nothing for anyone in that dysfunctional family. Barkin's Smurf was the most disappointing given that she is an accomplished actress but she acted more like the blue cartoon character from where she got her name. The scary matriarch that they showed in the trailer looked like a scared mouse when talking to anyone other than a family member.
TBS used to have good shows. This isn't one of them.

Anyone who rated this less than a 5 has no sense of humor. I don't know what the heck they were expecting to see but whatever it was it was not ab out this funny flick.
Simon Pegg, a British staple in comedic endeavors, is perfectly cast as the poor shlub who is given the power to have anything he wishes just by saying it and waving his hand. The kicker is that he only has the power for 24 hours and that his wishes don't go exactly as planned.
The maxim, "Be careful what you wish for," could be the theme of this funny flick - especially if you are used to speaking literally. The power is granted to Pegg by a bunch of the weirdest assortment of aliens this side of the Bar Scene in Star Wars who travel from galaxy to galaxy looking for species worthy of joining their fraternity of planets.
I liked this film so much that I watched it a second time with my daughter. You'll love it.
