Now that's a negative review

Troy Patterson on Last Man Standing:

The producers could have created the illusion that the show is 12.5 percent less unhumorous than it really is by springing open cans of mirth at opportune moments, but the timing is off. A few of the half-decent jokes are greeted with silence while the worst are met with passionate intensity.... [Man Up] explores similar themes in a fashion that is somewhat less odious and necessarily more funny.

Sometimes you just need the satisfaction of a poison pen.

That was brilliant! My favourite bit was, "The prefatory note also asks that reviewers not reveal any major plot points to their readers, a courtesy easily extended. All of the show's plot points are exceedingly minor."

Ouch!
