Cheers (1982–1993)
7/10
Belongs in the past
24 January 2019
Watching in 2019, this nearly 30 year old show does NOT age well. Every episode is riddled with sexism and ignorance, insulting any woman viewer. It's tough to watch as the only two "strong" female characters (one woman just replacing the other in the series) fall prey to every prejudice and stereotype about women, despite acknowledging them prior. It has great qualities of an amazing sitcom, and it truly was one in it's prime, however it does not translate to modern times and is perhaps one of the more offense older sitcoms.

Extremely mediocre
20 November 2012
The person I find most to blame for this movie is the casting director. Alexis Bledel and Justin Long should be in no other place but the present as neither can be taken seriously as a time piece actor/actress. This movie looks like it was strung together in 3 days. The settings, plot, dialogue and actors are extremely mediocre, or in the case of Justion Long, just horrible. Their are tense moments but if you don't cast a movie correctly, it won't be taken seriously. I honestly just cannot express enough how Mr. Long could never in his life pull off a time piece. He most assuredly did not prepare for his role (which you need to do for a time piece) nor did he bother to learn his dialogue or the overall plot too well. He has a small part in the movie but his sheer presence completely ruins it.
