Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
traverb1213 I really like season 1. It was funny. Yes, it was really, really weird also, but it was funny.Season 2 - you just really hate 3 of the 4 main male characters. I mean, you watch a bunch of male characters that you like die, and these other three you just really, really hate and they won't die, they don't die. And they won't go away. It's just not fun.I still like Roo and EJ. I'd like to see these two actresses in other things.Sort of like Soap. Seasons 1 and 2 were great, and then it just all fell apart.
phantom_pixie Most people in these days knows that one girl who (inspired from an array of television series regarding woman liberation) sleeps around with random guys and never think of them again. Roo is one of them. a 29 year old single girl who has a nice job in marketing. Her life turns upside down as she finds out that an old boyfriend have died. Remenissing with her friend EJ, she doesn't remember much about him, other than being bad in bed. Against better judgment she attends the funeral and the wake. Using the opportunity to try and hook up with another old fling. When that one also dies Roo embarks on a journey to track down her exes, and find out that they all die in the order she slept with them...The cast performs brilliantly, more so in season 1 than season 2, but still great performances. Abe Forsythe is doing a great job directing and acting. Television and movies haven't been funny in a long time. Todays market seem to be more slapstick and toilet humor, so it's refreshing seeing some black comedy that is both well written and executed.The series is a great commentary on sex, and our generations failed attempts at handling any drawbacks. It's all fun and games... until that one day, when it isn't.
Stuffed101 "Laid" is exactly what Australia has been waiting for. A sitcom that is actually funny, witty, well acted and full of fire. In a dry comedy not too distanced from "Black Books", "Teachers" and "Coupling" Laid's protagonist, Roo McVie, navigates one of the strangest and most hilarious situations imaginable.An excellent piece of television "Laid" easily eclipses all of the sitcoms for the year so far...watch out Britain! The first episode definitely captures your attention but the ones that follow draw you in to a world of humour so quick and dry that you wont want it to end.It would be very easy to fall off your chair for laughing too hard...and this is experience talking.Definitely worth a squiz and if that's not enough to get you hooked I don't know what is.
mcravener A first review of this Australian series, which I feel deserves some attention after seeing the first episode: "Laid" is situated in an environment something like The Office, but with more of a protagonist focus. The series is about Roo, a 29 year old single girl who works at a product marketing firm, desperately searching for Mr Right and the situations she finds herself in by doing so.Roo is an offbeat kind of person, never quite fitting in at work, never quite sure if what she says is totally off the wall or if it is the current acceptable way of thinking.The humor is very on the mark and quite racy compared to the more normative and streamlined US TV series, and the main character Roo (Alison Bell) comes off as both real and also very funny.So hoping that the series keeps its format...8/10
