83Everything [Kirstie] Alley's Fat Actress should've been: warm, warts-and-all self-satire. [31 Mar 2006, p.58]
-
80While this sort of thing has been done before -- "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on the high end of Hollywood self-referentiality, and the nasty, brutish and short-lived "Fat Actress" with Kirstie Alley on the low -- it has been done here exceedingly well.
-
75[A] very witty, sometimes brilliantly insightful hybrid sitcom.
-
70She creates an appealing character despite all the preconceptions, many of which are acknowledged and dispensed with in the first few scenes.
-
70The writing is pointed, the direction tight. But what really makes it work is Tori herself, light, bright and vulnerably likable.
-
63As Hollywood comedies go, "So Notorious" is better than "Fat Actress" or Lisa Kudrow's "The Comeback," but not in the same league as "Curb Your Enthusiasm" or "Entourage."
-
60She's turned what assuredly were hurtful years of feeling like a show-biz freak into friendly TV fodder that relieves viewers of the need to point while they snicker.
-
60This is up-to-the-minute celebrity kitsch--zippy, knowing, and joyfully hollow.
-
60This is a pleasant, farcical romp through the familiar terrain of obnoxious roommates, dating mishaps, and Hollywood sets.
-
50It's like Lisa Kudrow's Comeback without the satiric contempt. [10 Apr 2006, p.35]
-
20The biggest problem with "so noTORIous" is that the laughs, when they come, are few and far between.
