Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
dr_mckeever I don't know how this could have gotten a low rating by others, because I thought this is one of the best shows I had seen in years. I was so disappointed to see it get canceled. The 2 stars of the show are also the writers and creators... And just like in the show, they are a couple of wacky best friends. They use a mix of script and improv to keep the dialogue fresh, lively and fast paced. They are the best comedy duo since Lucy & Ethel, except they are both Lucy.If you like this show as much as I do, fear not... you can see these 2 gals in their new show "Playing House" with co-star Keenan Michael Keyes. I just pray to the PTB's that this one doesn't get canceled.
SnoopyStyle Lennon Walker (Lennon Parham) and Jessica Black (Jessica St. Clair) are longtime friends. They used to live together in New York some three years ago. When Jessica receives her divorce papers, Lennon invites her to move back in. Lennon's live-in boyfriend Joe Foley struggles to adjust. Rav Stark is a friend from the past and Queenetta Carpenter is a kid in the building.Let's face it. This show is all about the real and fictional friendship between Lennon Parham and Jessica St Clair. You either like them together or find them annoying. I find Lennon a nice funny lady, but at first, Jessica does annoy me. After a little while, I do grow to like her more mainly due to their friendship. They have terrific chemistry. It shows and it softens most of their rougher edges. Their friendship is the reason I like this show. Sadly, there are only 6 episodes. It never got a chance.
ortizz81 My Husband and I are 30, and we watched this show accidentally; we laughed out-loud so many times, we now are Recording it every week. Some of the scenarios are stuff that has happened to us or some of our friends; the other scenarios are just funny. The Little Neighbor is wonderful, she has such a big personality. My husband and i constantly joke around with lines from the show... most commonly, "you think your fancy, huh..." If you watched this episode, you know what we're talking about.Both of main Characters are really funny and feel very real and natural. The little neighbor does a great job, i'm not sure if it's all an act or she is that sassy in real life, but she's hilarious.The guys are good. The Bartender is Hot, and he seems like a good secondary character. His acting is good, he's believable, not much to him yet. The main guy seems nice; he just doesn't really add much. He's not really funny, not really quirky. He's just plain. There are a few parts he could've been funny, he was just nice. I don't know if that's his point, to kind of mix into the background. But i do think a greater audience would watch if the lead guy was more representative of a regular guy in (his reactions) or if he was quirky in some way, that most guys could laugh at. That guy doesn't add much to the plot, he doesn't make it more funny. Even when he's upset, he doesn't really look upset, he looks indifferent. I don't know if its him or the writing. But he should be more......just, more.
PaulVilla 'Best Friends Forever' is pretty unique. I haven't seen a TV series that delivers both sitcom-style comedy & real emotional drama so successfully.One minute you're watching funny one-liners & gags...and the next minute you're watching some serious emotional throw-downs. You'd think the transition between these two "worlds" would be jarring...instead, it's totally seamless.Usually, when a comedy show wants to go anywhere near something "real" (emotionally speaking)...it will do so in a very disingenuous & sarcastic manner (think 'Community'). Whereas, 'Best Friends Forever' refuses to compromise. Each moment is given the levity or gravity it deserves.Credit should go to the lead actresses. They know how to deliver fun play-fights (comedy) & serious real-fights (drama). And if I've read the credits correctly, they also know how to write interesting characters.Jessica St. Clair's character is pretty noteworthy. If this was a book, she could easily come off as annoying. Raw text has a hard time delivering subtle sub-text. But when you watch the show, you see that "Jessica" is the age-old story of the "sad clown". Her hyper-activity is a natural reaction to her insecurities & fragility.Lennon Parham's character is something you almost NEVER get to see on TV...a NORMAL woman. She likes to have fun, but she knows she has responsibilities. She's convinced her boyfriend that taking in her best friend is a burden, but she's way too giddy & giggly in the company of said burden.So far, the male characters seem to be a bit "unexplored". The danger in this kind of show is that men are treated as the sort of dull sideshows women have been treated as for most of television history. Hopefully, the writers will flesh out Joe & Rav as the series progresses.As you'll see, there's lots of entertaining stuff going on in 'Best Friends Forever'. There's a lot I haven't mentioned (like the gorgeous filming & hilarious little neighbour). There's nothing else like it on television. Hell, it's one of the best things on television.
