Movie Reviews of Weeds: Season One
Movie Review: One of a kind comedy!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first heard the advertisement for the show, I will admit I was not interested. I figured it would be another run of the mill stoner show. However, as a new fan of Mary-Louise Parker I decided to watch one episode.
I must admit it only took one episode for me to be hooked! The show is fantastic. So good in fact that after being canceled, it was brought back. The cast couldn't have been chosen better. Mary-Louise Parker is a recent widow, with cash flow issues and two children. The show does an excellent job of showing just how much the drug culture is right under our nose. You never know who may be a smoker. One of the best characters is played by Kevin Nealon. He is a pot smoking mayor of Agrestic, the fictitious town of which the story is told.
This is a show for just about anyone who likes a controversial storyline!
Enjoy!
Movie Review: If you are NOT a PRUDE and have an OPEN MIND-then WATCH!
Summary: 5 Stars
This show is GREAT! I have never seen a show/movie like this before. The writers of this show are VERY CREATIVE and have a VERY OPEN MIND! This show is very funny and suspensful. I am always left wanting more. I do wish the shows were an hour long, but it would probably take the suspense away. I applaud everyone who is involved with this show, including the actors/actresses. I like the fact that the people Nancy 'deals' with are black and a bit ghetto because they know the rules of the 'game' and help her along the way. I would not change anything about this show and reccommend it to anyone who has an open mind and is not offended by illegal distribution of an illegal drug! It is just a show and is here for our entertainment! Have an open mind, stop being prudes, and WATCH AND ENJOY! The second season airs on August 14th (which is a Monday) at 10pm ET. C-yall there!Movie Review: Suburban Decadence on Parade
Summary: 5 Stars
For anyone who lives in mostly white suburbia, it doesn't take long before you run into the characters from "Weeds". All you have to do is go down to the local shopping center watering hole or restaurant, and you'll find the slutty moms, the wasted dads and boyfriends, the divorcees and soon to be divorcees, not to mention their screwed up kids.
That's what's great about this show. It's also what's scary. Oh, yeah, and these are all the people who voted for our illustrious current White House occupants (or is it "occupiers"...but I digress) in the past couple of general elections. You know...."the family value" crowd.
Can you spot YOUR neighbor in one or more of the episodes? I knew you could. Great soundtrack too, starting with the theme song, "Little boxes" performed by a seemingly endless list of top notch musicians.
Movie Review: BLAZIN AND BRAZEN......
Summary: 5 Stars
From the world of a professional herbalist and addict of amazingly written anything, film, shows, books...I find Weeds to be one of those things in life that I just can't live without. Not only are the actors extremely well cast in their roles, but the plot and dialog go wayyyy beyond the bump and grind life of a suburban widow drug dealer. I often find myself yelping with joy (alongside my neighbor since we get together every Monday at 10:00 to watch the latest episode)...then running to the office the next day to spread the word about Weeds.
In a world of trash television like American Idol, and Desperate Housewives, it's not only refreshing to be enlightened with such a cool antecdote to life's monotany, but also mandatory.
This one surely won't go up in smoke, unless of course you're just sharing the gift of the earth.
Movie Review: Funny, bold, and with a quirky appeal
Summary: 5 Stars
It's mainly Mary-Louise Parker as the main character who makes this series so appealing, although I should also give credit to the woman playing Celia, the hard-talking cancer patient who makes life difficult for her husband and daughter.
Parker shows the struggle of a widow who tries to make ends meet in the stultifying suburbs by selling pot. Her sons act out, her brother-in-law is a nuisance, her CPA helps her when he's not getting in the way, her suppliers have some very odd family dynamics, and rival sellers create other challenges.
Whoever is choosing the songs for the ending credits is doing a superb job here, and the theme song about people being exactly the same and living in little boxes is absolutely perfect. If I were forced to live in the Agrestic homes, I'd be getting high too!
