Console best movie i've ever seen.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Scaly Bonniventure Traffic light is about three men who have different relationship lives, and each one is supposed to represent one of the three colors in a traffic light. The green (always on the go, I guess) is Ethan a bachelor played by the guy that goes to America to get laid in Love Actually. I guess because he never settles down he's green, even though you could just as easily make the case that because he doesn't move forward in any of his relationships he's red, which is a perfect example of why this metaphor is contrived. Yellow is the guy moving in with his girlfriend (taking things slow, maybe?); his actor is best known as the guy on New Girl that says "White Guy Power". And Red is the married with child guy, played by Roy from the office. I wouldn't hold a show strictly it's casting choices unless the actors clearly can't relate to their script, which, in this case, they absolutely cannot. The traffic light "metaphor" is pretty obvious, yet they still feel the need to have a character literally explain it word for word at a *memorial* for... Someone barely featured in the show. It's supposed to be a twist that we find out a character mentioned *once* in the pilot is dead at the end... Literally could not believe how poorly half-assed this attempt to create a sentimental moment is. The memorial scene is so far out of the narrative of the show that it just reeks of a producer going to the writers and saying "all comedies nowadays have *sentiment*, write some in or you're fired". All a viewer can do is stare and ask, " why?" This dead character is not brought up again.The humor is pitting gender stereotypes against each other, featuring the relatable plight of "I love my wife, but I want to hang out with my friends and have *man time* and I don't know how to ask for it!" In basically every episode. The humor is entirely predictable, though, to be fair, there's at least one witty one line in each episode. The situations of this "sitcom" are *so* believable that they're... Not funny at all. Neither are the actors, neither is the show.
kirannv-126-154903 awesome-st show.. make more TV shows like this or definitely another season i cant believe its over.. totally funny and catchy make sure you don't miss out on watching it best new TV show, these guys are funny. its pretty well thought out i must say.. good way to spend your time. hated waiting for the next episode to come out but was so excited when it did. I'm only 19 and loved it ! loved what they did with the traffic lights and stages of relationships is pretty epic.. so relaxed yet intense.. i had to write a review so people will send time watching this because i reckon its totally worth taking 20 minutes out of your day to catch up and just relax.
intelearts Traffic Light based on the hugely successful Hebrew hit Ramzor about three guys, one married, one in a live-in relationship, and one a player, is not bad per se, but I can't really love the idea of guys who constantly talk ALL THE TIME to each other - friendship is one thing - being pseudo-girly is a bit much.When its truly sarcastic it's laugh out loud funny, but the conversations are too much, though situations are good and occasionally this show delivers stunning one-liners, but the payoffs are few and far between.All in all if your over 30 it will make you smile wryly but it probably won't be the show you're going to want to become your absolute favorite.
mikealike The show is uncomplicated and funny. So far, the lines have not had fake, awkward moments, and the dynamic of the actors is good. I like the easy action, and the cheerful vibe that these episodes so far are sending out...We have three buddies, one of them married and having a child, one with a just-moved-in girlfriend, and the other having short term relationships. They talk about whatever happens in their everyday lives and try to sneak a thing or two pass their partners, but without being douches. They manage somehow not to be boring either. The girls are also OK, not the main characters, but the permanent ones are well-drawn, and attract sympathy.It's more a "relationships in the city" sitcom, but the dialogues and the friendship thing do remind of the SITC series. The writers have experience in good-rated comedy shows, so that explains it. Actually, this here Traffic Light is the American version of an Israeli sitcom, Ramzor,created by Adir Miller. On the other hand, Bob Fisher co-wrote Wedding Crashers, which had the same guys-talking-about relationships-without being too nasty air.I hope they manage to keep this one going well, and not make artificial efforts to pump it up. The latest sitcoms on TV are following a "forced" tendency, that I cannot yet put into words, but I do not like. This one is not in the same batch.
