This was a decent enough comedy as they go with a few nice cameos by Jamie Farr and Rich Little . There is a very funny character named PJ Yarborough as an loony pilot of the battered DC-3.

This first time film by Gretl Claggett, made with a very low budget, is extremely captivating while dealing with a very sensitive subject. Using children in films is always a challenge, and while this film deals with a painful subject (that none of us want to face or discuss) I did not feel that the child actress was compromised.

I never pick out movies i know nothing about but this time i did... and I dug it.

This show is absolutely perfect. It never fails to make me laugh out loud.

Pure British thinking. taking 3 celebrities and interviewing them in a mock-up pub.

I was recently a member of the studio audience at a taping of the fourth episode; I also saw the pilot episode. This is a funny show, with several talented actors who embrace their roles.

This was an example of some of the worst mugging and all-around bad acting since Plan 9 from Outer Space! The leads actually maintain a straight face throughout to their credit, but the supporting cast (every last one of 'em), are all horrendous!

"Happy Hour" is a well-acted but dated feeling portrait of an alcoholic. Far less harrowing than addiction films from "Days of Wine and Roses" and "The Lost Weekend" to "Permanent Midnight," writer/director Mike Bencivenga makes a heavy drinker and his enablers out to be genial wasters of talent until the physical ramifications become unavoidable.

Lex Medlin and Nat Faxton are both hilarious.In my opinion this show was better than the rest of the new shows the big networks brought out for the Fall season.
