I can't believe that this was taken from the book of the same name, by Anthony Bourdain. He would never say lines like this. I guess it was originally an attempt to make a film of it starring Brad Pitt (no wonder he declined, although, of course, could have been a scheduling conflict). It should have stayed dead.
Watching in 2021 and the jokes are very low brow, racial jokes (or any jokes) and stereotypes not funny in the least, bimbos and dumb blondes. And did I say really bad jokes (think a worse Beverly Hillbillies, the series). Bradley Cooper is amazingly not very good, kind of manic and none of the charisma and attitude of Boudain. It's, in other words, a typical Fox TV comedy. Kind of cross between Family Guy and Sex in the City (films, esp latest horror) but falls flat on both counts. And the music is really irritating. I swear the opening notes were copied from Sex in the City. It's all like that, but not near as effective as SITC.
