So many F bombs, needless sex scenes, and excuses galore! I have not found this to be a comedy. Has Holllywood changed the definition of comedy and I missed the headline? I found myself yelling at the character "Loser" (at all phases of her life). Starting with the story she couldn't pull off one 5 page paper to graduate college? And then she will add it to the 1000 complaints about how bad life can be? Seems to me her mom knew her. Wanna bet a mom like that would have made her promise to finish her studies or engage someone at the school (she also attended) to help her?
It's hard to care about the characters with all the screaming and whining. The term 'arrested development comes to mind. Does anyone still think their dead loved one is still in a particular spot? Even after 30 years, and you moved on? News Flash: There is no need to dig mom 's ashes and take her with you. We carry them in our heart! AND then we see they were not even buried in a box. She literally poured the ashes on the ground. How much dirt was she willing to take to accomplish this insane gesture? (Answer: 5 gallons.)
The one scene where they get the daughter to go into school... would have been a huge celebration. They said nothing and the mom barely smiled. These people are sad-sacks.
I have not watched the full season. I am hoping once we are passed the shock value of her poor decision making...that the conversations will improve the character interactions. If it gets better or I even laugh once, I'll consider revising this review.
This is not the first movie with Reese Witherspoon's involvement where the women come off insane or unable to cope. She's made several in fact. I hope one day, she meets a creative role model to inspire her to develop a show about a woman of substance.
