Pretty funny, at times (1 more)
An interesting premise

A little too heavy for a comedy
Dark surreal dystopian comedies need more humor
Good, not quite as darkly funny as I expected, seemed more concerned with the politics and "rules of the universe" than entirely necessary which kind of messed with the pacing dragged the humor a little bit. Other people were having a hard time understanding the world as built, anyway, so it seems a bit of wasted effort.

Funny, but filthy
I've never heard of Greg Davies before. I have been enjoying British comedians from Netflix specials so I thought I'd give it a go.
It is pretty funny if at times so filthy that it's hard to get really into it. To jokes about his mother's sexual experiences to a furry sight gag, the subject matter is pretty raunchy.
Granted he does have a couple decent attempts at positive motivational moments.
Generally speaking I lughed, but not a lot.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated Some Like It Hot-Buttered (Double Feature Mystery #1) in Books

A new series from a favorite author left me a little cold. I didn't find it nearly as funny as his old books, and the mystery was weak. What's funny about this is the series centers around the owner of a comedy movie theater. Owner Elliot Freed investigates when a man is poisoned by his pop corn during the nightly double feature.

Awesome
After watching the original (I have watched many times!) I was excited but unsure when the remake came out. We watched a s a family at the cinema and from start to finish we were all laughing! The film is done brilliantly taking the original story but twisting and tweaking it to make it modern and funny! We have now watched it numerous times still finding it funny every time! Would highly recommend

Racist and lacking humor beyond the surface
If you've seen the preview for this show you have seen the show. I will not watch more than the pilot because it's terrible. Awkwardness can be funny, but it is not by itself funny. Fish out of water stories are ripe ground, and well worn paths in storytelling. This is trying to be modern family/Blackish/fresh off the boat, while not saying anything of value.

Funny and Heartwarming
This movie follows the story of a couple who wants to adopt a child. They end up welcoming 3 children into their home one of which is a teenager.
This movie did a great job of showing what it is like to adopt a child, while still being light hearted and funny. It does have some serious moments that help you get invested in the family. Overall it is a great comedy that might encourage people to consider adoption.
