This show is an excellent example of why I wish it were possible to rate individual seasons. Season 1 was great, fun, well thought out, & had satisfying follow through, so I give it 9/10 stars. Season 2 was also well thought out & had great follow through, but it seemed to loose most of the "fun factor", so I give it 8/10. Something seemed to go wrong in season 3, though. I managed to watch each of the first 2 seasons over the course of about a week, but it took me about 4 months to watch all of season 3 because it just wasn't holding my attention. The storyline wasn't interesting & the writing & acting were boring &, at times, a bit contrived. It makes me wonder if they had a change in writers or if the writers just lost interest. So I'd probably give season 3 about 5/10, putting it squarely in the "meh" category. Because of that shift I decided to average out my ratings for the 3 seasons & give the show 7/10 stars over all. It's a pretty good show over all, but you can probably skip season 3.

I can't help but question the IQs of the people hating on this movie... I generally can't stand Adam Sandler movies, but this was genuinely good. It was one of the best comedies I've seen in a while, and possibly the best Adam Sandler movie I've ever seen.

Ok, I do have to start by acknowledging that this is an extremely political movie & it does have a general feel to it of, "If you don't share our exact political views, then you're a moron... & probably evil..." But somehow, despite that, it's still a relatively decent movie. I think it would have been better if the third act (the action) had come quite a bit sooner, & I really could have done with less shoving of political views down my throat. The acting was surprisingly good, though, & I think they did manage to bring up the thoughts & emotions that they were going for. I'll give them that. Overall, it did provoke some thought & it wasn't a complete waste of time. Oddly enough, I think the group I would recommend this to the most would actually be conservatives (like me) who don't mind their beliefs being questioned.
