StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

SnoopyStyle Jennifer Doyle (Jaime Pressly) is a single mother Gretchen (Dylan Gelula). She loses her high paying investment banking job and is forced to move back with her mother Maggie (Jessica Walter). The only job prospect is a waitress in her brother Wayne (Ethan Suplee)'s bar which he owns with his wife Stephanie (Nora Kirkpatrick). She reconnects with her childhood friend Dina (Missi Pyle).This is a pretty traditional single gal sitcom. Jaime Pressly is pretty good for the comedic genre. They also have some good comedic talents like Walter, Suplee, and Pyle. The situation is mostly unlikely but it's light enough to be funny. It's average without consistent big laughs. It's a good show for the smaller cable networks but nothing special or original. It's canceled after one season.

Jamie Let's face it, expectations for a breakout comedy during the summer are low, but after binge- watching the first four (21min) episodes I really enjoyed this new show and want to see more from these characters. Centered around Jaime Pressly who plays a very believable pit bull exec with anger issues and Missi Pyle who delivers as the high school co-conspirator who never got out of town, there is a lot of there there in this adult oriented dramatic comedy.Shot on actual sets/locations, it feels much warmer than the typical small budget studio shows... and thankfully the smart female oriented humor doesn't require a laugh track to tell me when to laugh! Such a great TV cast, and their portrayal of these multi-dimensional characters are each superb. The whole Modern Family "talking to the camera thing" is getting a little old and could be accomplished by more creative means, but as it's the current fad in monologue injecting I'll put up with it. The idea of epic failure and having to move back home to start over seems dark and depressing, what better place to find humor? They don't shy away from dealing head-on with the psychological and sociological stresses, or Jennifer's rat-race separation anxieties. Having Jennifer's mother be a work at home shrink allows for dialog that is neither clinical or pandering. I feel that this show has the potential to be much more than a whimsical comedy. Hopefully the studio will throw some money behind Jennifer Falls and keep it going into the fall.

RJBose What started out as an unoriginal and generally unfunny show has now sunk into abject unwatchability. The premise of an adult child moving in with a parent is well worn, and there is nothing new or original that "Jennifer falls" adds to this genre. In fact, there is nothing new or original (or particularly funny) about this show at all. The characters are unlikable and unfunny, and the scripts have collapsed into boring platitudes in a desperate attempt to substitute vulgarity for wit.A well-traveled path, instead of having Jennifer- an ostensible fired investment banking wiz- come up with a financial strategy to help her brother's bar, or otherwise demonstrate competence or generate some interest, the show lazily mimics the speaking to the camera tactic of the truly well-written "Modern Family" while the main characters merrily discuss sexual encounters "in the summer of sophomore year" (i.e. at age 15) and defecating on their sexual partner's doorsteps as adults, apparently in some sort of retribution.Jennifer has indeed fallen, and she can't get up.

vlad_dracula1983 The pilot kept me in the dark about everything,in the upcoming episodes anything can happen,i mean literally anything,nothing is clear for the viewers so you can turn the show into whatever you want to.It must be a blessing for the writers to have so many options to write about,but for the vievers we should be able to associate events with one and other,not all just the basics at least.The only thing that is clear is that there is a "fall".Its like asking someone to guess the number you had in mind and saying its between one and infinite.Show is called j.Falls,so the pilot had to be built around the fall,but instead it started with her attempt to get up,let us absorb whats happening then start building up the show.And even worse The pilot was 21minutes and 30 seconds long,which is exactly how much i've waited to laugh and eventually i did laugh,at my bad judgement to watch this so called comedy.If only it was at least a bit funnier maybe I could overrule the unclarity completely and just focus on having good time for 21 minutes.
