Extended Family 2023 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

If the disappearance of a goldfish fails to evoke any emotional response, NBC's new comedy series “Extended Family” may not be to your liking. The comedy immerses viewers in an alternate reality where divorces are treated lightly, causing everyone to live happily ever after.

However, chaos ensues when a goldfish dies, leading to exaggerated facial expressions and handshakes as mom and dad struggle to break the news to their 13-year-old daughter.

Stars: Finn Sweeney, Jon Cryer, Sofia Capanna

Jon Cryer, now sporting a shaved head, takes on the role of the frantic dad, employing a wail reminiscent of his previous work in “Two and a Half Men.” “Extended Family,” which premieres Dec. 23 and returns after the New Year, focuses on the post-divorce dynamic between dad (Cryer) and his ex-wife (Abigail Spencer). His vision of maintaining a friendly, resentment-free life is challenged by harsh reality, especially as observed by his 13-year-old daughter, the voice of reason amidst the illusion of happiness divorced from her.

While it aims to capture the essence of a show like “Modern Family,” “Extended Family” falls short in terms of quality and laughs. Unlike the single-camera format and no laugh track of “Modern Family,” “Extended Family” relies on a three-camera setup with one laugh track, resulting in lackluster comedic delivery. Contrary to the show's title, the pilot does not feature an actual "extended" family, with the only outsider being the ex-wife's new love interest, played by Donald Faison.

The pilot's attempt to explain its premise through an extended sequence in which the owner of the Boston Celtics breaks the fourth wall seems forced and does little to engage the audience. If the goal is to attract viewers who resonate with the idea of an amicable divorce, “Extended Family” may struggle to find a substantial audience. While the TV blog wishes success to those involved in creating the show, the prospects for an extended stay seem doubtful.

A Minecraft Movie 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

If you were to throw a bucket in Hollywood today, you could easily find a dozen video game adaptations in development, either as TV series or movies. They're all vying for the same thing: critical acclaim, huge box office revenue, or a sudden surge in streaming subscribers thanks to established fandoms. But it's a long shot: Will they become a "Borderlands" movie flop or a "Last of Us" hit? Next month, Legendary Entertainment, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Microsoft are going for box office gold with a different kind of game-to-movie adaptation: "A Minecraft Movie." Director: Jared Hess Writers: Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, Neil Widener Stars: Jennifer Coolidge, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers For the uninitiated, Microsoft-owned "Minecraft" is a sandbox game that immerses players in the Overworld, a whimsical dimension made up of blocky, box-like voxels.

The Acolyte 2024 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

There are three main types of Star Wars stories. There's the kind where you write whatever you want and call it Star Wars, common in the many novels published in the 1990s. There's the kind where you recycle existing Star Wars stories and make them familiar; this has been the primary way of doing things at Disney. But finally, there are the stories that enthusiastically use Star Wars as a setting to create something new. There have been several novels that fit that profile, as did the first season of Andor, and now, four episodes in, it looks like the new Star Wars series The Acolyte, set a century before the movies, also fits the bill. in that category. . The Acolyte centers on a pair of twins, Osha and Mae (both played by Amandla Stenberg). The girls were raised by an unaffiliated coven of Force users, but despite living outside the Republic, the Jedi, including Carrie-Ann Moss's Indara, stuck their noses into these women's affairs, leading to the disaster. As a resu...
