Synopsis

The charming and still-single Joey, who has struck out on his own and moved to Hollywood, hoping to truly make it as an actor. After reuniting with his high-strung sister Gina, Joey moves in with Michael, his 20-year-old genius nephew, who unbelievably is literally a rocket scientist. However, what Joey lacks in book smarts he makes up for with people smarts – making him the best new friend his nephew could ask for.

Mjeteconer Just perfect...
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
ComedyFan2010 After the very popular show Friends ended it took only two months before the spin off Joey aired, but unfortunately it didn't have the success a la Frasier and only lasted two seasons.I have a feeling a major problem was that it was so soon. Many fans just wanted Friends 2. I have watched it long time after the ending of Friends when all the wounds were healed, and yet I felt they could have made just a bit more Friends references. They actually did a few and it was great to see so much of Joey's Hugsy the Penguin, but at the same time it felt weird that he seemed to miss more the snow than his buddies.Another thing that I think was an issue with such an early start was that the writers didn't have enough time to think of more fun and original ideas. I did laugh but many jokes seemed to fabricated and the main strength of the show at the start was that it was Joey. Which unfortunately isn't enough. There were some terrific episodes and some that totally fell flat, I also noticed quiet a few story lines that reminded me of specific Friends stories but were just not as good. And this is when it got cancelled.Towards the end of the last season I was seeing something promising and it was actually disappointing to see the show end. This mainly came from them finally finding spots for the characters in the story and also bringing an absolutely perfect character: Jimmy portrayed by Adam Goldberg. He was only 9 episodes on the show but to me he was one of the best parts of the show and who could have carried it pretty far. He also gave a great addition to an already great character, Joey's sister Gina (Drea de Matteo). Besides hose two there is another character that i loved: Bobbie (Jennifer Coolidge). She was one of the secondary characters but one of the highlights for me on every episode. Very extraordinary and greatly performed.Other than that the characters hey made were not all that great. Michael, while a good balance to the a little dumb Joey was pretty boring. Alex was absolutely bland. Not that they never had a fun line or story but for the most part I didn't care. Zack and Howard were absolutely useless.So yes, it could have been better but they didn't give it enough time to create. And I must say if they had a Gina/Jimmy spin off with some Bobby I would have loved watching it.
Harriet Deltubbo After his friends all go their separate ways, Joey leaves New York for Hollywood to pursue his acting career full time. His sister Gina buys him a nice apartment, and he finds a new roommate in his nephew Michael. Sorry, but almost every joke in this series is absolutely pointless. The only thing that keeps it afloat is the sensitivity of the bilaterally desperately needy relationship between the main characters. I suggest you enjoy the first five or so episodes for what they are and let your mind play around with the opportunities there can be to make something interesting. The real centerpiece of the series is its acting; two performances in particular stick out.
cathey-127 The show started out okay. It wasn't Friends, but it was okay. Through the first season it actually got better. Then over the second season it went down.The characters weren't as good as the gang in Friends. Friends was fun because the characters were all funny in unique ways (Pheobe's weirdness, Monica's OCD, Chandler's humor...). In Joey, Gina's the only one that's remotely close to the level the gang was on. And Joey's rarely the core of the humor in Friends. He's usually there just to show off some dumbness, his eating, and his luck with women. In my opinion, that's why putting him in the center of the play was a bad idea in the beginning. You can't be funny just by making mean jokes of people being stupid all the time. Also, it looks more sad than funny that Joey's 35 and still such a baby. Come on, Chandler became a good husband, Rachel became independent... why no change in Joey?Also, the show mainly rides on some ridiculous plots for humor. Bobbie wasn't as fun as Estelle, and Bobbie's character can't be any more unreal, but Bobbie's actually one of the funnier characters in Joey. The character development is incredibly weak, the jokes usually just come from showing off how insane these people are. And they made a terrible decision with Jimmy. The actor (same one for Eddie, as in Chandler's crazy roommate) looks incredibly annoying by default, and made Jimmy's character extremely unlikable. I mean, this is like making Janice a regular in Friends. Sure, she's entertaining, but can you stand her if she's in every episode?And I think that's when the show went down.It was kinda sad watching Friends end. I always wondered how their lives would turn out to be, especially Joey's, given he's still single. But after seeing this crazy world life that looks like a Las Vegas fantasy, I kinda agree with the people who said that it's better if we don't continue the story of Friends. It's not gonna be the same.Okay I didn't want to compare this show with friends when I just wrote this, but I can't help it... So if you just want to watch a comedy show, this is not a bad one, but don't expect this to be the 11th season of Friends.
Parthasarathi Mitra Just finished watching both seasons of the TV show Joey... Don't know whether the innate stupidity (for the lack of a better word) of the character Joey was present throughout the series on purpose or the screenplay was genuinely thoughtless. Jokes? Yeah there were some and some of the episodes were pretty funny too, but I could live without the stupid references to FRIENDS every now and then. That's a lot of negative things to say about the lovable Joey's show. I know. But the problem is that I was expecting too much I guess. Expecting some of that FRIENDS magic to take place. Well, although that didn't happen, in all fairness to the show, it should be said that 'Joey' is quite watchable, quite funny and quite okay. But if you are a FRIENDS fanatic like I am, expect nothing even remotely close to it.
