Kicking Off (2015)
6/10
Decent performances in this comedy but there's better films
15 March 2017
The first and utmost annoying thing about this film is the fact that they are the biggest fans of this team ever, willing to kidnap a referee BUT there NOT even at the match (Yer great fans, hey). These so called massive fans are watching it in a PUB with loads of thugs. Anyway, it's the last day of the season and loyal fans Wiggsy and Cliff assemble for a crucial denouement. It's simple: win and the team stays up; lose and they're down. When their team appears to grab a vital winner in the dying seconds the boys wild celebrations ensue, only for them to discover that the referee (Alastair Petrie) has disallowed the goal. Chaos ensues and Wiggsy and Cliff (reluctantly) decide to take matters into their own hands. To Wiggsy, it's simple: Get the referee to admit he made a mistake in disallowing the goal, and the team stays up while Wiggsy becomes a hero. I suppose it's worth a watch as it is quite witty in places.

Loving this series. Leaves me wanting more and more
6 September 2016
I am a massive fan of this series and in all honesty i have never watched a cage fight and couldn't name you a proper cage fighter. I guess some of the people in this series are fighters, if not, there very good at portraying that they are. Alvey owns a gym after retiring from being a world champion, and runs it with his pregnant girlfriend Lisa. They, like most of the people in this series have their own issues going on, which is what makes this program interesting and a joy to watch. Alvey is split from his ex wife who later makes an entrance as a heroin addict, which explains why they are no longer together. The elder son Jay loves having her around and does everything to make her better. Alvey's main fighters are his sons, youngest Nate and his elder brother Jay, who both want to be world champion. Alvey trains them to the top level, but worries one doesn't have what it takes. Also we have ex champion Ryan Wheeler, not long out of prison because of an incident involving his dad, has to be talked by Alvey to get back interested in cage fighting, as he now has this attitude portraying his hate for fighting. Ryan is one minute the nice guy and then he turns pretty bad, basically he has a bit of a split personality. Lisa keeps the gym running as debt sneaks up and signs a hot girl fighter with a bad record (in fighting). Surely Alvey will make her better like he does everyone. Alvey is always there for everyone but no one realises he is suffering inside with his own demons.

Just watch, as i don't want to say anymore. With love from England. Thank you for this series and looking forward to season three.

Sorry everybody, this is a NO NO from me.
14 December 2014
This film, i only managed to get through the first 50 minutes, so there is a very small chance things could have improved. I watch most films from comedy to war, so i am not just being one dimensional. Plus i really liked the first one. I really am blaming the writer of this film rather than the acting, as once again Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston seemed as good as usual. From watching the film, with the filth talk from Jennifer Aniston it is obviously set for adults, and the first conversation was about her talking about gay male sex at 14. This i found extremely uncomfortable. But my main problem were Jason Batemans two friends. i can't recall them being so pathetically annoying in the first one. It was basically every time they said something. It was like they only had 1% of their brain working. They reminded me of the character in Home Alone played by Judge Reinhold as the daft robber (sticky fingers). But that was a U certificate aimed for kids, which was great. The part that made me turn it off was when they were all hiding in a house and wandering if the owner had gone, so they could quickly get out. So one of the brain dead friends just shouted his name about ten times. Luckily he wasn't in but Jason Bateman asked why would you do that, he could have been in? He simply said, Oh i never thought that far. I was basically getting embarrassed for the bloke who wrote this and just turned it off. Getting annoyed by his two friends from the minute it started is NOT enjoyment, and definitely NOT funny at all. There were quips just like the above one on a permanent basis that made you think, Oh dear.. Anyway that is my opinion, but i hope you enjoy it no matter what i think.

BRILLIANT, I LOVE THIS SHOW.Get this back on TV
29 September 2014
What a great cast, and good to know there are some brilliant comical writers out there. It is a disgrace to American television that they should cancel this excellent and funny show and it means it won't hit us in England. The father is a strict ex military man who wants the best for his kids, and shows that by sometimes being rather strict but brilliantly funny at the same time. His gorgeous popular daughter gets away with more than his son but she still got thrown in the pool for annoying him. His son's two idiotic friends who respect him like their own dad are always around the house much to the annoyance of the father, but they get the same harsh treatment as if they were his own kids. But he will always be there for them also. They stupidly ask for his help to make the baseball team, and how they wish they never, when they are woken up at 3 in the morning by a air horn for hardcore training. But still the father is always right, as they get the results they want. Maybe me explaining it doesn't give the brilliant and very funny program justice it should get but it is definitely worth watching the 8 episodes so far. With a classic 90's background soundtrack, this is a win win situation.

Mistresses (I) (2013–2016)
8/10
9 out of 10.. worth a watch
15 August 2014
Great program and should be watched by people who love these kind of shows. I've watched the British series which was brilliant but i am NOT going to say how brilliant that was and that you should just watch ours instead.I will comment on the American series that i am enjoying immensely. Every episode leaves you wanting more as the show has so much going on that stops it from being boring and keeps you really interested and wanting the next episode straight away. The characters all have something going on in their lives which is great as you don't get bored concentrating on just one character. Joss is my favorite as she is wild and funny but the group still love her lots and need her advice just as much as the other three women. Anyway,a fun show that should be watched or at least given a chance. Also good to see the good looking English actor Ricky Whittle appear in series two. Plays a really good part just like the rest of them..

very funny
10 July 2013
Every episode is hilarious and well worth the watch. This is set in a supermarket called Valco. Left in the incapable hands of Julie, who struggles to win round the staff that she really wants to like her. Julie is also madly in love with her ex boss who by mistake lets her believe they might get together, only for her to always take things the wrong way. A lot of the staff who work there are so different from each other, from posh people to the most vile and lazy people you could meet. All together with exaggerating Andy on the meat stall, this works brilliantly. Leighton who is a little bit special is a firm favourite with viewers, as he just messes everything up and makes every ones job harder, but he's that nice, he just can't be sacked. A comedy i can't wait to see again. Looking forward to the third series. A different and refreshing comedy.
