Movie Reviews of Life As We Know It - The Complete Series
Movie Review: Absolutely Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
This show was spot on to me. How it got cancelled is beyond me and shows that it doesn't matter if there is any substance to what companies put out today; it's all about the ratings. Yet how it didn't get the ratings and views is beyond me besides the fact that ABC did not well advertise it. Regardless, it is an amazing series, one that I really connect with as a younger guy (now of 19). It is real, emotional, compelling, and knocks out every other show that tries to play the whole "Life" story. I have loved it since 2005 and will always wonder what could've been from it, along with the little hope that it will come back... SOON!
Summary of Life As We Know It - The Complete Series
Based on the controversial British novel, Doing It by Melvin Burgess, this edgy teen drama follows the friendships of three coming-of-age boys through the angst of adolescence--and does so with candor, humor, and occasionally eloquence. The three-disc set includes 11 one-hour episodes from the show's only season (2004-2005), two unaired episodes ("Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Junk," and "Papa Wheelie"), and a bevy of bonus features including deleted scenes, audio commentaries, and a gag reel. Set in Seattle, Dino, Ben, and Jonathan are a trio of hormonally charged high schoolers trying to navigate through the confusion of girls, broken families, and their never-satiated sexual appetites. They, along with their girlfriends, frequently step out from the story's action to narrate their inner thoughts--not an original idea, but effective. While the "Pilot" and "Pilot Junior" episodes are overtly sexual, the series quickly becomes more multi-dimensional, artfully exploring complex issues of identity, popularity, body image, trust, and the consequences of irresponsible behavior. As the boys' emotions are unveiled, their personal predicaments become the show's primary focus; their sexual exploits secondary. Funny, frank, and smart, the writing refrains from moralizing nor stoops to a soap-fest, making this a stand out among similar dramas (with producers from Freaks and Geeks and My So Called Life). The male protagonists are decent actors in endearing roles, yet one of the show's strongest performances is from Kelly Osbourne who plays Jonathan's sometimes girlfriend, Deborah. The series is not without flaws, which include some clich? plotlines involving illicit affairs between teacher/student and mother/coach. Sexuality, profanity, and mature themes.
