Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

blosnich752-1 It is a shame that this show was cancelled. It was far better than anything currently on TV today! It also introduced me to Andrew Braugher, and what a wonderful actor he is. Oh, I need 5 lines to post a comment. Here we go.Blah. Blah. Blah.Let's see if that will do???

writesromine The media blurb for this show is three college friends, now adults remain close as they work through the trials of life. Yawn, right? Wrong! This show is much more than the standard shallow melodrama we see so often during Prime Time.The journey of men who happen to, in odd circumstance, be friends. All in their mid to late forties, each character's plot line meshes with the others in sort of dense soup one experiences in real life.Terry, portrayed by Scott Bakula, is a 'think I could' have a career B movie actor. He is handsome, charming, flirtatious and egocentric.Andre Braugher is Owen, family man, good guy, and bread winner. The twist with Owen lay in his job as a car sales man at his father's dealership. Owen wants to be his father's son. Owen's father wants his son to be someone else.Joe is portrayed by funny man Ray Ramono. After his wife tells him that she needs to 'move on' Joe's painful transition from married to divorce includes a gambling addiction, re-introduction to the singles world and life without his kids.In truth this is probably one of the most brilliantly painful shows to watch next to the former ER. The three main characters have a unique depth rarely seen or accurately portrayed outside the commercial cinema. Plots and dialog are sharp, quick witted and realistic giving the backdrop of almost reality television.The three characters while each unique all face the same questions. Where is life going? Have I made the right decisions? What am I leaving behind? What have I given up? The life truth everyone of us faces is written and portray in the actions of these three ordinary men.The subtle yet realistic barriers these men face are a wonderful strong example of amazing writing. When you watch a character stumble, and you wince, a connection has been made. It tugs, pulls and in turn challenges you to think about your own life in the context. Surprising performances by all three actors warrants an Emmy nod at the very least. If you have not given this show a shot, I highly recommend it.Amy Romine BellaOnline's Prime Time TV Editor http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art4448.asp

RUKIA22 Men of a certain age is really a fantastic show.I love Scott Bakula and he was actually the main reason I wanted to see this show in the first place and I've been a fan of his ever since Quantum Leap. Scott is great as Terry and still looks as hot now as he did in his Quantum leap days! The man just shines! and is a wonderful actor. I'm liking his character more and more and he's really grown on me because at first I thought he was quite a jerk but from some of the episodes I've seen you really do feel for him I also found myself rooting for him with every episode. There are very funny moments followed by sad and that's the reason for this shows success Men of a certain age is a very special show. I really hope this show gets screened here in the UK. MOACA has been a big success in the US and has already been renewed for a second season. I love this show, and the actors in it...so real, so true, so emotional!! Well done Ray, Scott,and Andre!This show is the most "real" show I think that I've ever seen. Love this show! So true to life and very funny.

beercourt These are flawed, likable men. It is refreshing to watch three-dimensional characters on television without having to resort to "reality" shows. Drama is not a bad word - no really it isn't. There is drama in every life, and placed into perspective it can be compelling entertainment. Well scripted drama, as opposed to the emotional breakdown of a spoiled 25 year-old heiress, makes watching television a good use of time. The comedic aspect of the show is the touch that makes this show so rich. If you're expecting to see Ray Romano rehashing Everybody Loves Raymond, you'll be surprised. Braugher and Bakula turn in creditable performances as well with outstanding support from Lisa Gay Hamilton, Richard Gant, and Jon Manfrellotti. If there were anything negative, I'd say that they are overusing the cable advantage (the ability to swear) just a little. There are times when it seems that the word "shit" is in the script just because it can be. In a show about middle-aged, middle-class men, a little profanity is authentic. But, the term "mother-shit" is not authentic by any means. Men of a Certain Age validates the humanity of men nearing 50. It paints them as real people who have passions, fears, faults, desires, and a sense of humor to cope with it all.
