MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
tabipha For a show that is written by her, Cristela should have written funnier stuff for herself, but unfortunately, even tho I found her somewhat funny when I saw her BEFORE I saw her sitcom, I didn't find her hardly funny at all IN her show! The parts in the actual lawyers office are just painful to watch, and NOT because of the stereotypes, but because none of it is even remotely funny except for the part of the one episode where Felix and Alberto put in Trent's floor! Since most of the stuff on TV is crap these days, and I'm SO tired of vampires, the supernatural, and those kind of shows and am frustrated with how little comedy there is that doesn't rely on swearing and sex and shock factor, there isn't a lot left to watch!! I started watching this show back in 2014 but didn't see every episode when it was on TV and just now found it on Netflix so I am watching the ones I missed. I am only giving it a go again because I LOVE Gabriel and the scenes with the mom and the ones at the house are somewhat amusing and it is something to pass the time when I've already watched most of the stuff that is decent to watch and keeps my attention. I've seen the post that she blogged after she got canceled and it amazes me how much she didn't realize that people would not find all the stereotypes that she droned into EVERY second of EVERY scene that funny in this day and age! The show could have been way funnier given SOME of the actors in it, but Josh is extremely unfunny, the Maddie stereotype has just been done SO many times that it is just tiresome to watch as is the whole Trent character! But like I said, there is SO much $&@# on TV that I don't want to fill my head with that I'm relegated to watching half funny shows just to get away from overt sex, over-the-top swearing and the WAY overdone supernatural *^%#! Cristela didn't seem to realize that she couldn't take her one hour stand up routine and stretch it into a sitcom because the stereotypes would get old super fast plus she isn't funny enough for her material to keep people laughing or interested for very many shows! I'm shocked that it even lasted a whole season tho I never could find it on after the first half dozen shows or so so I'm not even sure how many were even broadcast on ABC (I think it was) back in 2014/2015!! Will somebody out there PLEASE make some decent comedy shows again with ACTUALLY funny people in them!! Where are the Carol Burnetts and Tim Conways of this generation hiding?!? Can anybody put the comedy back into sitcoms?!?
oldtvfan139 The title says it all. This show does deserve an Emmy, a Golden Globe, or any other award. People may think that this is one of those "classic" formats, but it's a more modern and fresh approach to that. While John Mulaney's show flopped (and that is weird, because it was just as good), Cristela has had some moderate success with audiences.The show is hilarious, and I mean as funny as Lucy. Cristela's mother is the usual "Negative Nancy," who usually has something to complain about or compare it to her childhood village in Mexico (always using "In my village..."). Cristela and her co-worker, Josh, are obviously into each other from the pilot, and it's torture to see them not admit it! They are friends, but they like to tease and compete against each other frequently.ABC would be stupid to cancel this show. Bring on more!!!
jebrito-129-805273 OMG we needed a show like this..... Carlos is hot,,, I also love Maria Canals-Barrera, she is a true Mexican with Carlos. when i see Gabriel Iglesias i just laugh he is a great comedian.. good luck on the show... Go Cowboys!!! I'm from Dallas Texas It will be nice if they show Dallas in the show . . . . . . . . . . The clothes on Carlos are hot he looks so good@ I will only be watching the show for him and Maria canals I'm just waiting for George Lopez to appear that would be awesome... I just don't really like that Criselda is still living at home. Mexican parents usually kick kids out at 18 with a career or send them back to Mexico. that is not really true what you are showing.
tboimov I loved the pilot. It was smart, funny, honest, and self-deprecating in places. I hope it stays this way in future episodes. As a first generation American, I could relate to many of the sentiments expressed by the characters. They expressed them in humorous ways. I am not a Mexican American, but I feel I will understand them better and feel we can relate to each other. The interplay between family members was very real, and can relay to any family, regardless of ethnicity. That too was done in a very funny way. I am anxiously waiting for Cristela's progress in pursuing her legal career. I am sure it will be hilarious, I can see many potential funny developments.
