Movie Reviews of The New Adventures of Old Christine - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: What's on TV? Ok, good.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is what should be standard TV. Some of its jokes are funny, and some are tired. And a few ones are truly inspired (restaurant set, an immigration lawyer working for poor people looking for their American Dream, you need to see it to understand how great a moment that is). But that's it by now. I watched half of this first season' episodes and "How I Met Your Mother" is not. However, the relationship between the characters seem (for once) adult-like, and for those people in their forties the subject matter of the series is going to be pretty relevant (hey, 3 stars is good!).
Summary of The New Adventures of Old Christine - The Complete First Season
Now there's a kick in the self-confidence: Single working mom Christine Campbell has just learned that her ex is dating a much-younger woman with the same first name. To avoid any confusion everyone calls one woman New Christine and the other Old Christine. You can guess which is which. Julia Louis-Dreyfus' hilarious and insightful performance in the title role won fans and earned her the 2006 Emmy as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. Christine struggles to hold it together as she adjusts to her new nickname confronts the meanie moms at her son's private school jumps back in the dating pool with a post-bikini bod?and gets laughs every misstep of the way. You go -old" girl!Running Time: 300 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 085391183341 Manufacturer No: 118334Putting an end to the so-called "Seinfeld curse," Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars in her own hilarious 2006 television sit-com as a divorced single mother struggling to raise a child while fighting her own insecurities. The series opens with Christine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) having recently enrolled her young son Ritchie (Trevor Gagnon) in an exclusive private school and feeling uncomfortably aware that she doesn't fit in with the other moms. Christine's ex-husband Richard (Clark Gregg) doesn't make things any easier when he shows up with his new girlfriend, also named Christine (Emily Rutherfurd), whom Christine doesn't even know exists, and things get even worse when the new girlfriend is quickly dubbed "New Christine" leaving Christine with the distasteful moniker "Old Christine." Even Ritchie senses that things are different at his new school on the first day, blurting out "where are the black kids?" in front of his horrified mother. Thus begin 13 episodes of pure comic fun in which basically good, likeable, yet invariably flawed characters seem destined to blurt out those socially unacceptable thoughts that often run through a person's head as they struggle to fit in and build meaningful relationships with each other. Whether Old Christine is trying to rid the world of prejudice, satisfy her own sexual needs, dating a man who wants more commitment than she can offer, trying to live up to the impossible standards of the meanie moms at school, maintain a friendship with her ex-husband, or just do the best job that she can raising her son, she can always be counted upon to do or say the absolute wrong thing and get herself into one uncomfortable situation after another. What makes it all so side-splittingly funny, besides the amazing comic delivery of each and every actor, is the great writing that ensures viewers can relate on a fundamental level to Christine's every predicament. Special features include unaired scenes, a blooper reel, and a 17-minute "The Real Christine" featurette with interview footage of all the major characters as well as show creator Kari Lizer, writer Katie Palmer, director Andy Ackerman, and co-executive producer Adam Barr. --Tami Horiuchi
