But heart and commitment mean everything. Oct 17, 2017 | Full Review… Tim Molloy TheWrap Top Critic Beneath the armor plating of punch lines beats a wounded and affecting heart. Sep 23, 2013 | Full Review… Glenn Garvin Miami Herald Top Critic Mom is the first multi-cam comedy to crack me up in a decade. Sep 23, 2013 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic Mom is one of the very few sitcoms on television... to feature characters who are not thoughtlessly affluent. Sep 23, 2013 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic It's a punch-line shooting gallery, setting 'em up and knocking 'em down, with a rhythm reminiscent of the classic Bob Newhart sitcoms. Sep 23, 2013 | Full Review… David Hiltbrand Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic Given the number of self-absorbed and annoying fathers on sitcoms, another self-absorbed and annoying mother is fine. She helps keep the party balanced. But she also needs to make the party funnier, and CBS' new Mom does not. Sep 23, 2013 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic This is the kind of show that you want to root for. It's relatable, but if there is any shortfall right now, it may be in the comedy department, because while the show is funny at times, most moments are merely smirk-worthy. Oct 17, 2017 | Full Review… Jason Tabrys ScreenRant Really, though I think it's because Anna Faris is just so damn likeable. Oct 17, 2017 | Full Review… Lauren Le Vine Refinery29 The one real failing of this show is French Stewart. Sep 24, 2013 | Full Review… Angel Cohn Television Without Pity As for yours truly, I like it. A lot. Because I laughed. A lot. Sep 24, 2013 | Full Review… Scott D. Pierce Salt Lake Tribune View All Critic Reviews (40) Audience Reviews for Mom: Season 1 Jun 30, 2014 I started watching this show because I heard Anna Faris was going to be the poster girl for the show but then Allison Janney stole the show. It pretty much felt like a one woman comedy because the only funny person was Bonnie, the rest of the cast: Single, alcoholic mother Christy, misfit son Roscoe, pregnant daughter Violet, loser ex husband Baxter, all anooyed me to death. However, I do appreciate the aspect on actually showing that addicts are humans too. I did laugh a few times so I think the show can go on for another season or two. Sylvester K Super Reviewer Mar 07, 2018 AMazing Show. Completely Underrated Keith J Dec 12, 2017 This is my favorite show right now. Maylin R Nov 11, 2017 Fantastic show! Great comedy, inspiring - witty - Dennis F Oct 22, 2017 I love how even thought this is a comedy there is still a emotional depth to the story. My favorite comedy tv show of all time. The writing is hilarious and the jokes are spot on every time. The chemistry between Anna Faris and Alison Janney is fantastic. The cast all give stupendous and hilarious performances especially Alison Janney, Anna Faris, Matt Jones, French Stewart, Kevin Pollack, and Mimi Kennedy. A+. Noah M Jun 28, 2015 It works because Anna Faris and Allison Janney sell the writing really well. Tino P Jun 17, 2015 It was okay. An easy watch. A couple laughs an episode. So good I finished the first season but not good enough to watch a second one. Kat J Aug 13, 2014 It's a bit dramatic actually. Remove the laugh track and it is kind of sad. Also, it glorifies teen pregnancy and encourages the bs side of such a relevant theme. It also overly fantasizes about the real economic possibility of this family. Eduardo B Jul 28, 2014 There are other shows out there that attempt to deal with addiction and recovery, but they're all garbage compared to this. Truly funny and dare I say original? Going to watch this show for as long as they're going to make it. Christopher T Jul 15, 2014 The stupidest thing that Chuck Lorre has done. Cheap jokes, cheap script with some interesting performances but nothing that I can not see in other place.
