Let me start off by saying I have not gotten into any new comedies for a long time, I think Parks & Recreation was the last one. It really has to catch me in order to follow, and Up All Night has done just that! This is a show for someone of my generation (grew up in the 90's) and is having kids in their mid 30's. I happen to have my son in my 20's but still a lot of the references and music relate back to my teen years. I agree with one other post that Maya tries to steal the show, but that doesn't work for me. When she's being 'one of the gang' I can take it, but when the show first started she was an odd diva, that didn't work for me. But it seems like towards the end of the season, the characters settled. I look forward to season 2 and hope it goes on for a long time on Thursday NBC!

Friends with Kids
(2011)
Totally predictable

Warning: Spoilers
I saw the trailer for this movie and thought it looked pretty funny. I didn't think Bridesmaids was all that funny (probably because it was marketed incorrectly as a women's version of The Hangover when it was really a Romantic Comedy), however it seemed as the actors/actresses had great chemistry, so I decided to give it a go. Well... I was wrong. I really didn't laugh at all, it was all obvious humor (explosive diarrhea, really? that's the best you could do?). I realized that Jennifer Westfeldt is not good enough to be a leading lady (nor good looking enough, come on lets face it...). That's 107 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
