I can't tell if this show is good or terrible from this season alone. It has you bouncing around at times with its title character as if not only does he himself know what he is/wants but neither do the writers. It has its laughs and its downs. Some times you may find yourself frustrated with a character's stupidity or fluctuating uncertainty. It's hard to tell if the way the show portrays is intentional. I'd like to see more, but it would be nice if the characters had a more cemented personality. You can make a character reach an impasse of decision without it conflicting their core nature. If the character development improves significantly this could develop into some comedy gold. The actors have good chemistry on screen and have caused me to view them more favorably in their other works.

While many have claimed this title does not offer much that the others of this particular genre do, I have to disagree. This is a heartwarming story with genuine dialog between characters. Some of these conversations and interactions I have experienced firsthand. The cinematography captures the specific details that both add to the dialog and allow you to pick up more the second time around. The acting is very believable albeit a little over emphasized for comedy at times. The first time I saw this I had wished they rewrote a few of the lines, but after my second watch they seem fitting for the character and what they were going through at the time. I really did not like Phillip, and now I have come to realize he is that juvenile person frequently found in families. I approached this film without any prior knowledge of it and was pleasantly surprised. I concede it was not amazing, and given the cast list may spark high expectations for some, but going into any movie that way will leave you disappointed.
