It's an amiable show whose main purpose is to give Prinze a place to be amiable in, and it does that well enough, when it isn't straining for laughs or wandering too far from the path of probability.
-
[A] bland sitcom. [14 Oct 2005, p.142]
-
Freddie is a series of collisions -- between generations, sexes, ethnicities and perhaps most of all between youthful Latin macho and imperious Latin matriarchy in the struggle to rule the house.
-
Cynical, randy, derivative and as wearily familiar as a cup of cheap joe, "Freddie" is also expertly cast, acted, written and directed.
-
The new premiere isn't horrible, and it shows some promise.
-
[A] bland, formulaic family comedy.
-
This guy has a great personality. Building a likable sitcom around him ought to be a no-brainer. So why haven't they done it?
-
The big problem is Prinze himself, an actor whose work has shown much charm but not much range. Here, even the charm is missing as he dwells on every joke and gesture.
-
The best aspect of "Freddie" is that it makes an earnest attempt to depict a loving, supportive Latino family. You want to spend time with them, but only if the writers put as much sizzle into the scripts as Freddie does in his beloved recipes.
-
A fairly pedestrian comedy that needs all the studio-generated laughter it can muster.
