There are some bad critics about the serial but it's not bad at all...I should confess that it was beyond all of my expectations...Been a really while since I laughed and enjoyed a movie this much...Of course scenario contains some signs of meet the parents but it's just a more advanced and prolonged version... Basically a guy meet's girls family story but contains many many original moments... which I think should be respected... but beyond this it's already a nice serial...Not a masterpiece but I a very very good serial to spend nice time...I'd advise it to all who haven't enjoy a comedy and haven't laugh so much since a long time like me...Just watch it and you'll not loose anything... you'll just have fun!..
... View MoreSorry folks, but this is, once again, a very bad attempt by Americans to remake brilliant comedies from other countries, and failing miserably. They have done this with a number of shows and it's getting irritating. While this isn't unfunny, the jokes aren't delivered well, with the exception of the father who is simply brilliant at delivering snappy laughs, and it seems to have been re-written for an American specific audience. If you haven't seen or heard of the original series, then you might enjoy this mildly, but otherwise I would recommend getting your hands on the British make. This is a mediocre comedy, with rehashed jokes, taken down a notch in class for a simpler audience. The sad thing is, this is the only version the mainstream audiences of Australia will see, like they did with The Office, Life on Mars and Kath & Kim.

View MorePoor,beleaguered SAm Briggs(Kyle Bornheimer,who seems to have been born with a 'I'm screwed!'face)is about to marry the lovely Melanie(Erinn HAyes),but has the dangerous task of trying to impress her parents(KUrtwood Smith and NAncy Lenehan,both great!)and seems to wear bad luck around his neck. EAch element of their impending nuptials becomes fraught with peril,all laying out traps for our intrepid hero.THis comedy has worked so far(At this writing,about twelve episodes deep). THe timing and reactions of all involved work well enough(Or better yet,they stay out of the way of the natural humor to develop)that this show has a true charm and appeal to it. I'm probably mincing details here,but I still cannot help but feel like naming a show "Worst Week" suggests that this show's running plot is a singular or finite problem. Since the mere nature of a TV series is,usually,to continue indefinitely,the naming of a show set around a singular worst week seems to present a bit of a problem. Or maybe that's just me.UNless there's been a revelation as to the time constraints of this show in a previous episode(or episodes)that I've not been cognizant of,I cannot help but feel like a show with the kind of genuinely funny quality and rich potential,the producers might want to change the title. Some suggestions: "Worst Weeks"? "Another BAd Week"? "ONe Bad DAy After Another"?Again,just suggestions. Good show,though!
... View MoreMy mom told me to watch this show so I finally gave it a chance. It was so funny! It's one of those shows where you're embarrassed for the guy like in move's like "Meet the Parents", "There's something about Marry" or "Super Star". I kept having to hide my face in fear of the consequences of some of his crazy mishaps he would get himself into. I was laughing aloud the whole time. So the only thing I can warn you about is those stomach cramps you get when you laugh too much. I wouldn't listen to anyone saying it's not funny. You should watch it and then take your own opinion. I'm not really into British Comedy but I might even have to look up the British version to see if it's as funny.
