Movie Reviews of Weeds: Season One
Movie Review: Little Boxes, on the hillside, Little Boxes made of ticky-tacky...
Summary: 5 Stars
Weeds was another show recommended to me by friends. Dubiously I began watching, not sure what I was getting into. Comedy? I was expecting drama. What you get is a mix of both and much more.....
The CAST is what really makes this show work. While at times, at least in season 1, the writing/story may be lacking, you can't help but laugh at Doug (Kevin Nealon), scoff at Andy and shake your head at Nancy and Celia! What's more, is that even the cast that has a slightly more supporting role, is truly talented and gives the show it's life. Happily, the pace picks up through out the season, as does the drama & the laughs. It will have you running to the store to see what is going to happen in season 2, and let me say, it only gets better!!
Way to go Showtime!
Movie Review: Weeds Is Just Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
People need to just enjoy that this show is clever and not need it to be anything else. Don't wish for it to be realistic or truthful or on the "correct" side of any issue. It's not. That said, it does poke fun at the notion that everyone feels entitled to or aspires to granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances and would rather have their fingernails pulled out than give them up once attained. It does point out that parents have dirty laundry and kids are not innocent. Avid Reader should read closely enough to see that Mary Louise Parker (not Mary Stuart Masterson) plays Nancy Botwin (not Botwit), especially if she is going to continue to publish reviews on this website daily. Proofreading. It's your friend.Movie Review: No Need To Indulge To Enjoy
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't come from the 'drug culture'. But in order to watch this series, one need only be a typical American head-of-household/consumer/business person with an excellent sense of humor. It shows what heart-breaking desperation can do to drive an otherwise law-abiding (the 'punishment light' is a GREAT paradox for Nancy) and respectful single mother to do, to keep her family living the life they had grown comfortable with. And 'Weeds' does this with classic comic style, ingenuity, great talent and a realistic feel. Different from any of the series out there. If you don't laugh at this series, you should have your funny-bone removed for a complete overhaul. I wish 'Weeds' a long and prosperous run.Movie Review: Simply amazing...
Summary: 5 Stars
Weeds, in all its dark, hilarious glory, is probably the most cynically entertaining show on television. With witty dialog from all characters, potheads to pimps to dealers to teenagers, the never-ending stream of chuckle/did they really just say/do that? will keep you guessing and enjoying this series. Not to mention the X factor that this show has, the ability to sincerely hope that it all turns out okay in the end, which you will have to watch next week to find out if it will be. The DVD's are worth repeated watching and merit 5 stars for an out of this world performance. Nowhere but Borders and Amazon could you find such a great deal for such an amazing season of the best show out there.Movie Review: Incredibly Well Written and Funny
Summary: 5 Stars
Season One of Weeds is everything a lot of television is not: honest, hilarious, and sometimes powerful. There are so many funny truths in this show about race relations, politics, our educational system, our attitudes about crime, suburbia, drugs, etc. Weeds takes no prisoners and has some great acting to round out the terrific writing. Justin Kirk as Mary Louise Parker's Brother in Law does an incredible Andy, the ultimate intellectual underachiever. Although Elizabeth Perkins deserves recognition for playing the uberbitch, Celia Hodes, Kirk should get an Emmy hands down as the funniest character on TV since Newman of Seinfeld.
