The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

I tried watching several episodes of this very unfunny, unedgy show. The characters, with due respect to the actors, are plastic and without form. FreeForm should cut its losses and send 'groan-ish' to that large tv series junk pile.

I like Black-ish, but I think this spin-off is extremely bad.
The show is trying too hard to switch the character of Zoey from a super popular high school queen to a dork-ish college girl. She is exaggerating everything around her.
On top, the themes being treated such as drug addiction are superficial and are not consistent throughout the show. In one episode Zoey is a bad girl who doesn't respect her new friends, on the other is a drug addict, now, in the third episode it seems that she has fallen in love after kissing a guy. Instead of the writers creating a complex character, they are creating a new uni-dimensional character every episode. Don't waste your time on it. Go see Freaks and Geeks or the 70s show instead.

Two episodes in and Grown-ish is just bad. The narration works on Black-ish, but not here. The whole Breakfast Club thing might have been interesting to discover on its own later in the season when it made sense, but the narrator comparing the cast to The Breakfast Club at the intro made me think that none of the writers have seen The Breakfast Club.Like the show A Different World (Lisa Bonet), I think Grown-ish will do better with out the cross over character focus. Right now it's just trying too hard to be too much in twenty two minutes per episode. The heavy subject matter that they're trying to cover - like apparently rampant substance abuse on campus - seemed to be handled with indifference. It wasn't really funny and you can see every "very special episode" of 80's television heading your way, but it's taking multiple episodes to get there.Right now, the biggest problem is that the lead character/narrator is the least interesting one of the bunch. Her roommate seems to be a much more interesting character. The writers should have taken a page from A Different World and focused on the ensemble. Hearing about the ensemble as narrated by a boring lead isn't that interesting.
