Great News (2017)
This show is a DELIGHT
I have never given a show or movie 10 stars but this show is a riot! The jokes come fast with clever throw backs. If you're a 30 Rock and Arrested Development fan this show is for you.
Miami Rhapsody (1995)
Very Charming, well written and acted
I tripped across this on cable one morning when I was home sick. It is a lovely quiet movie done in a Woody Allen style. The dialogue is smart and funny. You can't help but fall in love with these characters. Taking place in the 90s it reminds us of time when we didn't have to worry about much but each other. If you're not a patience listener-observer you'll miss a lot of the subtleties of this film. Some folks may not or appreciate or understand the many cultural and political references from '90s, but they are well placed and hilarious. A nice reminder of how women have managed to take control of their own lives, relationships and careers, finally at the end of a century.
It's a rare thing to make Miami seem appealing, but this film suggests to us, there are perfectly normal people managing the trials of relationships and families at made me laugh and long for the simpler struggles of life.
Baskets (2016)
This is the funniest show I've seen in a long time
I can't wait for this show every week. It is so absurd and goofy! Louie deserves an Emmy for Mama Baskets. She says the most ridiculous things in the sweetest way, like- how we'd be living on Mars if Ron and Nancy Reagan were still in charge, and it would be so nice there. Galifianakis Is a riot in dual roles as twin brothers Chip and Dale (ha). Martha Kelly delivers the same deadpan humor as Galifianakis with perfect timing as the enduring insurance adjuster/friend/chauffeur/mistaken wife whose tolerance for Chip's dismissive treatment is answered with good sound advice like always have a mini talking koosh in your purse. Rich and original I belly laugh every week. Hope it gets picked up for another season, I think this is an Arrested Development in hiding, don't let this one slip by!
