Lots of reviews here comparing this show unfavorably to its UK counterpart - I haven't seen the original so I came to this show with no expectations, and found it very funny. Kelly and Lloyd are wacky characters, a couple of adult-sized little kids given the freedom to do the stupidest thing imaginable, and you can't look away.
I see what this movie is trying to do in capturing the poetry in the mundane, and perhaps it's doing it very well, but I could find nothing in this story to capture my interest. A boring story, even executed beautifully, doesn't do it for me.
A time travel movie where there’s no time travel until the last 20 minutes. It’s a bad movie for other reasons too, but that really seals it.
I watch this every Thanksgiving (my family's decided the opening scene with the parade makes this a Thanksgiving movie, not a Christmas movie), and I quote it the rest of the year - especially drunk Mrs. Shellhammer.
Only gets better with age.
A comedy with no humor and no joy.
A clip show for the series finale. What a let down.
There’s a 20 or 30 minute section of Moretz, alone on screen, communicating to the other characters via radio and totally powerless, that’s just fantastic. I thought I was going to watch a full length film version of her desperately trying to complete her mission while disembodied voices grow more and more paranoid. That was not what happened.
Can't believe they built up this whole thing in the last few episodes, just to get canceled.
Deeply uncomfortable. Not deeply funny.
You don’t really understand how important a sound editor is until you watch a movie that doesn’t have one.
Utterly irredeemable. The acting, the script, and the editing all compete for worst aspect.
There are two separate scenes in which a woman describes her ongoing car maintenance issues, which are both incredibly dull and entirely unrelated to the plot.
I just can't get over how dumb the concept is: you buy a memory recorder for your unborn child, for the exclusive purpose of being able to put together a better tribute video for them at a funeral that neither you nor they will likely attend?
It would almost make sense if it was a crime deterrent that cops used to catch murderers, but no, the writer of Final Cut thinks that the first thought that pops into a pregnant mother's head is "But what video will they show at my baby's funeral?"
Wow, this show really thinks we're stupid. The first fifteen minutes of this episode is each character explaining over and over again everything we've already learned and everything a person who's been paying any attention could figure out.
Repeating "What have you done to earn your place in this crowded world" ten times an episode should mean we don't have spend most of the finale explaining over and over again why someone would make a virus to stop reproduction.
They have Tom Hardy in so much makeup he looks like he’s wearing someone else’s skin over his own. I assumed they had aged him up so they could show him looking normal in flashbacks- nope. They really spent the whole movie following around a pooping, groaning, dementia patient.
Unexpectedly delightful. Like Clueless meets Veronica Mars.
Watched the first twenty minutes and got too bored. The synopsis promises something interesting will happen eventually.
I'm so glad I finally checked this show out. I'm a big fan of the two main actors and the show is as wonderfully weird as they are.
It attempts to walk a line between comedy and horror but never quite reaches either. The threat the Oath poses is never well defined enough for us to understand what the big fuss is about on either side.
Of the shows I’ve tried on Quibi so far, this is the best. I’m waiting eagerly to find out what happens next. I do wish it were in a longer format, though.
Extremely melodramatic. I don’t know whether or not it’s a faithful representation of depression, but as TV, it was just grating.
Watching someone get food exploded on them, then have to eat it is good for one minute of entertainment. And if the rest of this were a full length cooking show it wouldn’t be worth watching a whole episode for one good giggle. But give the five minute format, it works.
Who keeps hitting the greenlight button on all these sitcoms about thirty somethings living with their parents? I feel like I’ve seen this pilot a dozen times on a dozen shows that didn’t get a second season.
This. Ay have all the elements of a high school comedy, but it’s not. This movie contains no jokes and no moments of humor. I was thoroughly bored.
Even if this was supposed to be a parody of bad horror films (and it's never clear if it is), it is really bad. But there are points where it gets so bad it's good. Watching with my family on Thanksgiving day, we laughed our heads off at all the turkey's lines.
The whole cast does a great job, and there's a few really memorable scenes: if this movie were under two hours, I would be rating it much higher. But once I got into the third hour of them still not killing Jimmy Hoffa, I started being annoyed. Why are we talking about shorts for this long? Why does this conversation about fish never seem to end? All these drawn out scenes that develop character but don't advance the plot, they're great in moderation but when you're two hours in and getting restless, they sour the whole film and you walk out disappointed.
Loved it as a kid, but it just doesn’t hold up any more. What does hold up is the Destiny’s Child soundtrack.
A let down after a great first season.
Where's Cathy? In every Jack Ryan movie they're married, and their relationship was a compelling story in the first season, but I guess someone at Amazon thinks it's more fun to make him sleep with random women wherever he goes. Just. Like. Every. Other. Spy. Story. Yawn.
Well, it's not a comedy. It's trying hard to give some "hot takes" on issues that are pretty darn cold. Bradley's rant in particular in the pilot about coal, and protest culture, and political cycles really wasn't viral-video worthy and though I got the sense it was supposed to get me on her side, it just made me lose respect for her.
I am interested to see where Mitch's story goes, though: he seems to jump back and forth between "guy who didn't know he was doing anything wrong" and "misogynist creep", and I want to hear how his story compares to his accusers'.
I finished the whole thing in a week. Devastating it was was so short.
Starts really boring, and ends really predictably, but the middle is fun.
