Movie Reviews of Weeds: Season Two
Movie Review: GREAT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, here's the deal. If your looking for a hilarious TV series to watch while your waiting for a new season of something else this is great to fill the void. If you have Showtime (which I don't) you can watch this on TV but as I don't I started watching this through Netfilx and couldn't get enough. Funny as hell. At some point you want to question the moral fiber of Nancy Botwin but she's just doing what she has to for her kids and to survive. The character that Jenji created is strong and resilient kinda like a warrior. She deals with everything and makes choices to fix the here and now rather than dwell on the future. Wouldn't recommend this for your kids right off the bat until you watch the first few episodes of the first season. Has some nudity duh it's on showtime. But overall funny as hell and soooo worth your time to watch :)Movie Review: Different, but still Great
Summary: 5 Stars
Season 2 definitely got darker, and somewhat less comedic (but still funny) storylines: deteriorating relationship between Nancy and Silus; The DEA agent, the Celia crisis (yet hilarious) and Nancy's business becoming more dangerous. As said before it didn't ruin the comedy aspect of the show, in fact it is stil able to make light of very serious theme.
As always the acting, both dramatic and comedic (I found Mary Louise Parker hilarious at times) is wonderful, a real joy and pleasure to watch.
The DVD itself is a good job: LOTS of bonuses for such a small boxset, stuff like trivia tracks which are quite interesting and commentaries, and little pieces of technical information here and there. Gag reel.. the classics but really nicely done.
Special mention to thank for the WIDESCREEN release, which is way more than welcomed.
Movie Review: better than desperate housewives
Summary: 5 Stars
in the second series, it is a bit darker than the first season. it's not that i don't like doug, but it was dean's fault for not filing the papers for his re-election campaign. then celia decides to run for doug's spot, and boy does she have her hands full with being elected city councilperson. i am glad allie grant has time to shine as the huskaroo's girl, much to celia's chagrin, after dean gets fired from his job. what about andy botwin, maybe they should call him randy andy botwin, after pursuing the rabbinical school dean. yael puts her job on the line so andy can avoid going to war. and i liked the way andy talked to shane about his first wet dream, and how he explained it to principal dodge when shane was called into the principal's office. honestly, for my money, this is better than desperate housewives.Movie Review: Terrific drama
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, it's a drama all right, despite the half-hour format. The tone of its second season reminds me more than anything of the venerable "Six Feet Under": it's extremely funny, and extremely smart, and it moves from ultra-dry sitcom territory into much darker places (and back) without warning or apology.
"Weeds" casts its satirical throwing stars in 360 degrees. While drug warriors get their well-justified comeuppance, we more libertarian types don't get off exactly scot-free. Just the right medicine when it comes to a debate that's been all but shut down in more mainstream circles.
Not that you need to have an opinion about pot politics to enjoy the razor-sharp dialogue or, failing that, Mary-Louise Parker's big brown eyes and diabolical deadpan delivery.
Movie Review: Darker and more dangerous; also more fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This season is darker and more dangerous than the first, and even more fun this time around, as Nancy's business expands away from the bakery and into a grow house; as the conniving, vengeful Celia wreaks havoc in the lives of her fellow Agrestic citizens; as Nancy's sons come to terms with what she does for a living and their own love interests; as Nancy's lover and husband of convenience turns the tables on her and Conrad; as Conrad becomes more enamored of Nancy, and Halia (sp?) shuns her as a business rival.
The final episode of this season contains such a shocking and frightening cliffhanger that I won't even give a hint about it here. Watch it for yourself and you will find yourself on the edge of your seat!
