Movie Review: a great introduction.....
Summary: 5 Stars
WILL & GRACE, a groundbreaking sitcom, made its debut in 1998. Why was it groundbreaking? For starters, it was the first comedic series on network, "mainstream" television (NBC) where two of the main characters were openly gay men (Will, played by Eric McCormack and Jack, played by Sean Hayes), and a third character was more than a little "bi-curious" (Karen, played by Megan Mullally). Their antics, adventures and romantic exploits were depicted in a very incidental way. Homosexuality was significant and was the subject of every episode (for obvious reasons), but the scripts were so openly humorous and intelligent, that the stories could have been about anyone (read: anyone including straight characters!). This sparklingly witty and unabashedly honest show brought Debra Messing, as Grace, to our attention as a very talented comedianne, with terrific timing and wonderful Newyorkese accent.
I don't want to give away too much of the plot. I will say that this story opens with Grace (Messing) moving back in with Will (Eric McCormack) after jilting her fiancee at the alter (on account of the fact that he didn't deserve her). Grace is a very accomplished interior designer and takes in Karen Walker (Mullally) a sickeningly wealthy, perpetually drunk/stoned snob, with a voice that would make Betty Boop sound decidedly mezzo-soprano and sullen, at that. What's more, her off-the-cuff insults directed at Grace (poking fun at everything from her clothes to her love life), eternally coked up episodes and shamelessly classist, racist, and sexually ambiguous banter make Robin Williams' brand of "late night" humor look decidedly clean cut and G-Rated.
What's more, I can't end this review without mentioning Sean Hayes' brand of humor, as Jack McFarland, Will's best friend. Jack is a "singer/dancer/choreographer/actor." Does he have a real following in NYC, the city that never sleeps? Not really--um, make that, not at all. Therefore, he relies on Will, the uber "well off" corporate lawyer, to provide for him money for rent, other expenses and anything else he wants. Hayes is so funny here. I would call him a fireball performance artist, inspired by every gay/ambiguous icon known to man (Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland, Tommy Tune, to name a few). To call Jack "flamboyant" is a grand understatement. Try, anyone playing off of him and his wild brand of snappy comebacks comes off as understated and pales in comparison to his infectious wisecracks.
This first season was a grand introduction to a very funny show that had very memorable episodes, that first year. I highly reccomend it!
Movie Review: Stop the Train... When Did I Get On!?
Summary: 5 Stars
My response to the first season of Will & Grace is this:
My life BEGAN when I started to watch W&G! It is the most satyrical, masterful, and edgy (in the sense that it raises the proletariat to the status of HUMAN) sitcom in the history of the world (To put it in Mel Brooks' terms)!
Thank God that we have such a show to entertain us, support us, and give us (the "other") a sense of being in an otherwise senseless world.
p.s. Karen can NOT be surpassed! =^)
