The question, still open, is whether the writers can pack enough comic caffeine into the next 21 weeks to keep viewers along for the ride.
-
There are small funny moments along the way. [4 Dec 2006, p.39]
-
The show is all structure and no substance.
-
With too many one-note jokes and characters, insufficient barrel laughs and too much controlled chaos, "Big Day" will be lucky if it even makes it to the afternoon let alone a walk down the aisle.
-
"Big Day"... doesn't have an original bone in its carefully constructed body, which would be a pardonable offense if it were actually funny. Which, alas, it is not.
-
Big Day has no likable characters. [1 Dec 2006, p.72]
-
One of the most puzzling things about TV this year is the mere existence of this catastrophe. It is a huge, huge pile.
-
Big Day should be retitled "The Longest Day," as it spends an entire season showing us how many dreadfully unfunny complications can spoil a single wedding day.
-
The situations are predictable, the writing is unfunny and the cast is forced to overplay every scene in hopes of generating something resembling a chuckle.
-
A stinking pile of unlikely plot twists, brain-dead dialogue and cardboard characters.
-
"Big Day" is basically bad community theater with music clearances.
-
[A] laugh-free comedy.
