If you want something to watch that you don't have to think about too much, this is the movie for you. From reading the comments on here, you might not want to give it a try. It doesn't pretend to be any more than it is. I laughed out loud a few times. I thought the casting was very good. Will Forte is pretty good as a leading man. Amy Schumer is pretty much playing Amy Schumer but I like that. The person that stole the movie for me was Urzila Carlson as the school guidance counselor. I had trouble at the beginning understanding her accent, but she's so hilarious that eventually it didn't matter. Look it's not Hamlet, but it doesn't pretend to be. If you just want to not think about the troubles of the world and watch some entertainment that you don't have to think about too much, I would say check it out. The whole premise is ridiculous but it's supposed to be. Just don't take this movie too seriously and you'll enjoy yourself.

I don't know how I missed this show when it was on NBC. Every episode I am finding myself laughing out loud. It also makes you think because a lot of the episodes revolve around social issues. I have to say Loretta Devine and David Alan Grier steal every scene they're in. The writing is very sharp and sometimes I can't believe what they get away with. It's so refreshing to see a show that's not politically correct. I really wish this show was still on. I've already gone through all three seasons on Hulu and I've decided to go through them again. Brilliant show, in fact very reminiscent of a Norman Lear show. I don't know how they let this one get away.

This movie had me laughing out loud in the theater. There was so many brilliant scenes in it, too numerous to name here. Jeffrey Wright was absolutely brilliant in this role. He walked a fine line between being uncomfortably rigid and somebody who you felt great empathy for. Sterling K Brown stole every scene he was in as the brother. Leslie Uggams can do no wrong and is still beautiful. I also thought Erika Alexander was perfect as his girlfriend. His publisher, played by Miriam Shor, was note perfect and hilarious. The script had so many quotable lines that I need to see it again. The only problem I had was the ending. There were so many better ways to end it. Don't let that stop you. One of the best movies I have seen in a long time.
