12Big Shots is a big waste.
-
50Jon Harmon Feldman’s naughty script doesn’t develop much chemistry among the guys.
-
70A light-hearted, comedic drama about four wealthy guys with women troubles and work problems.
-
10Big Shots is an extremely unflattering showcase for these actors, particularly McDermott, whose overacting as the show’s bad boy puts the mug in smug.
-
37The problem with Big Shots is that the men don't sound like anyone at all, male or female.
-
50Terrific cast, some fun, but overall the writing is often as dead as Walter.
-
10It's just awful.
-
25The worst offense is that it seems to have been pitched as the male version of you-know-what without any real interest in speaking to the notion of what it means to be a man or, if you'd like, what men think, feel and say.
-
10Big Shots, an obnoxious waste of time that's likely the season's worst new show.
-
0I'd prefer you'd forget that one, and in coming years, I'll bet stars Dylan McDermott, Christopher Titus and Michael Vartan will hope to forget it, too. It's not worth your time or theirs.
-
80Big Shots matches affecting characters with genuinely funny stories and dialogue.
-
10Feldman has created a quartet of rich guys so insufferable, self-centered and whiny that they make the men of feminist masterwork "The Golden Notebook," or even "The Nanny Diaries," look positively heroic.
-
10There's nothing funny about tonight's Big Shots.
-
40Big Shots tries way too hard to be shocking and raunchy. The actors resemble kiddies at school trying to impress one another with the latest naughty word learned in gym class.
-
30When all is said and done, the series feels less like Wisteria Lane than "Stand By Me" channeled through Danielle Steel.
-
0No matter where the goofy "Desperate Housewives" goes, it's not into the toilet, which is where Big Shots spends its time both literally and figuratively.
-
50Big Shots isn't brilliant. And despite that attractive, well-matched male ensemble, the so-so series premiere lacks sufficient creative zing.
-
38It suffers from too much gloom and glam.
-
30We're all for handsome guys exploring their feminine side, but we want posters of them holding babies, not being them.
-
60Shots has some potential. The leads - Michael Vartan ("Alias"), Dylan McDermott ("The Practice"), Joshua Malina ("The West Wing"), Christopher Titus ("Titus")--have chemistry, and there are some funny lines and situations.
-
60One of television’s rare examples of successful farce.
-
The hunk quotient is pretty high. But that doesn't overcome the fact that the show is dumb and uninvolving.
