Robinsons
The Robinsons: Series 1 (2005)
Sam: ★★★
Martin Freeman who was so good in The Office (UK), stars in this sitcom, which is like part-Office part Coupling (UK). I tried watching Coupling a few times & thought it was unfunny, poorly written, and neurotic. Unfortunately, that also describes The Robinsons. I’m starting to think the Brits just aren’t good at sex comedy.
Emma: ★★★
Watchable but not amazing, nor groundbreaking like The Office.

Meet Bill (2007)
Sam: ★★★
It was as if filmmakers got together & decided to make a movie as close to American Beauty as possible but different enough to avoid being sued. The movie meanders and ends badly. Still, I chuckled a few times.
Emma: ★★
Were the people who made this movie stoned? It goes on & on pointlessly & when there seems to be a point it’s something we’ve seen before.
