I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It's just an awful show. Story is different than Everybody hates Chris but it's the same theme. Don't waste your time on all ready seen stuff. Move on, you are better then this. :D

This is a cringe worthy show that only the regressive left could find funny because there is a constant barrage of racist insults towards whites and others. Now, to be honest, I don't care. All racial groups need ribbing. But I can't help but sit and watch and consider if the roles were reversed the left's collective heads would be exploding. It's interesting because it also perpetuates a lot of Asian stereotypes that, for decades now, we've been told are either not true or are simply racist to point out. Unlike something like All in the Family, where racism was treated as something to be looked down upon, it seems to be portrayed as something that is not only OK, but something that the Chinese embrace. What's funny is that Constance Wu has come down on others for being "racist" but apparently cannot see her own hypocrisy. Now, if not for the left's constant barrage over the course of my entire life of "everything is racist" this would probably be an enjoyable show. But, alas, the left has ruined the ability for people to laugh at one another or themselves (something which should be OK). Maybe, with that in mind, this show is a step in the right direction... but I doubt it.

I've just finished watching episode 14(S02) of this show "Fresh Off the Boat"–this is by far the best one of the season. It featured the mother being driven to get her son to become a doctor and discovers he's got tennis skills and happily channels her maniacal obsession to excellence to that– this is arch-typical of Asian mothers. I can see why the producers had the dad be a generic American dad (in personality) to offset the mother, otherwise it can be too over-the-top. It's typically Asian while any family can relate to it too.Cameo appearance by Billie Jean King, a tennis legend, to throw a McEnroe-esque temper tantrum when she gets fired by the mom was an absolute gem of a scene. The reference to Michael Chang of the 90's being the sole Asian sports star harks back to more recent times to the Linsanity craze in recent years. If FOTB keep to this formula, I can't see why it can't maintain a good following for many years.

This show is a fun trip down memory lane for kids that grew up in the 90's. The Asian aspect is interesting and very hilarious. I love Jessica Huang character..she is super hot..and pretty tough...and smart as a whip. The kids have great chemistry and work vey well together. The cast is perfect and I can tell they havegreat chemistry, Including the friends and neighbors like Honey. It seems they are growing together as a friend-like family on the set. I am very excited to see it coming back for a third season and hope it does even better in the ratings. I love the story lines in the 3d season so far, This is my favorite show on TV right now....Keep it going strong and bring it back next season
