RumHam Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 First trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLlMTn_Jzok It's amazing how some of them have aged and others seemingly have not. I really hope this is good. If nothing else the cast is impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mac Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 The trailer impressed me, which I'm thankful for since I had my worries, as I love this movie in all its absurdity. Some of the cast looking much older while others refuse to age is certainly something they'll touch on, so I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maithanet Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 For some reason "and introducing Jon Hamm" makes me laugh really hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I've watched the first two episodes so far. Its not bad, but its just not that funny either. Seems to be more about watching a lot (and I mean, a lot) of really likable actors and comedians having a good time rather than laughing at anything.

RumHam Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Well I thoroughly enjoyed it. But then I'm a big fan of the original movie and this sort of absurd humor. It's probably good they didn't go for more than eight episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanna Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It made me laugh once or twice in the first 2 episodes. Not really any good, but it's with a BUNCH of actors i love, so i will finish it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myshkin Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I've watched the first two episodes so far. Its not bad, but its just not that funny either. Sounds exactly like the movie then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Flashheart Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Sounds exactly like the movie then. You're a bad person. The movie is hilarious. The show is so so. It gets better as it goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 For some reason "and introducing Jon Hamm" makes me laugh really hard. Wasn't "and introducing Jon Hamm" also how they billed him in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, or am I misremembering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I've watched the first two episodes so far. Its not bad, but its just not that funny either. Seems to be more about watching a lot (and I mean, a lot) of really likable actors and comedians having a good time rather than laughing at anything. That's how I felt for pretty much the entire series. I think I did have two or three big laughs in the later episodes, but I can't remember what they were all of one day later. Well I thoroughly enjoyed it. But then I'm a big fan of the original movie and this sort of absurd humor. It's probably good they didn't go for more than eight episodes. I was trying to think of what to call the style yesterday, and this fits it perfectly. Unfortunately, I have found that I am not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 And done. My opinion from before is basically unchanged, although the absurdity level did reach such incredible heights in the final two episodes that I did like them more than the rest.

Cyvasse Khal Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I think the show was extremely embarassing to be honest. I didn't mind the movie way back when as an absurd tongue-in-cheek parody - at least a hit and miss comedy generates laughs about 50% of jokes made, which is pretty good. This Netflix show though, yikes, awful. I felt bad for Bradley Cooper, he looked incredibly bored and like he was obviously just doing it as a favor. I know he did all his scenes in like one 8 hour day so I guess not too much wastedtime and energy. It was really beneath Jason Schwartzman too, these creators are no Wes Anderson.

Myrddin Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Watched the first episode. Didn't laugh at all. When the credits came on, my wife and I nodded to each other and took it off our watchlist. Never saw the movie, so that might be part of it. We kept asking each other "why are 40-somethings playing early 20-something characters?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Only 3 episodes in, but I'm loving it. Big fan of the movie, and this is hitting all the right spots for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frog Eater Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I watched the first episode, and apparently, it is trying to be a parody of 80's teen movies, but was so cringey I wont be watching anymore. All those famous actors, all that talent and they produced a steaming turd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindly Old Man Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Watched the first episode, most of the humor feels like inside jokes that I'm not in on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
