Shame We Are Men is so off-putting, because the cast is generally likeable, especially Penn.
-
The show is not a snarky sendup of loveless nerds or callous swingers; it’s a fairly gentle comedy about burnouts who call themselves a band of brothers.
-
These Men of no certain age and character aren't so much bad influences as terribly unfunny company.
-
Its first half-hour comes and goes without providing any further reason to hang out with these guys.
-
For a comedy, We Are Men is, in a word, sad.
-
[A] show [that] is far better cast than it is conceived.
-
What you're left with is a series that, while less repellent than the even-more-misogynistic Dads, is equally dull.
-
Of all the dumb shows you can watch on a Monday, here’s one more.
-
Run! Run fast and far from We Are Men.
-
Like the dullest of origin stories, it all seems pretty perfunctory, a series that longs to be a shaggy hangout show shoehorned into a rickety single-camera framework that may as well be called How I Left Your Mother.
-
Tepid stuff.
-
The guys behave badly in mostly cliched and predictable ways.
-
There's nothing terribly memorable about it other than the appeal of the cast members. And that was earned from previous films and shows.
-
It's the tired guys will be guys trope dusted off for one of TV's pre-eminent comic actors, Tony Shalhoub, who can't even break through the smog of mediocrity that's enveloped him here.
-
It’s hard to escape a feeling that We Are Men is really just TNT’s short-lived “Men of a Certain Age” without the ambition, and maybe with a lobotomy.
-
It's the male Sex and the City, with more shirtless scenes (courtesy of Jerry O'Connell) and way less wit.
-
Watching We Are Men made me feel stupid almost immediately and then bitter that I'd wasted the time. But maybe that's because I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the four male representatives of this series, nor hear the actors portraying them say any more "jokes."
-
The existence of this comedy, which pretends to be brash but mainly succeeds in being more offensive, unfunny and predictable than Dads, told me that we have angered the gods.
-
The cast is certainly talented enough to overcome We Are Men's shortcomings, if the writing improves.
