    I dont care anymore... hide show

    Okay let me reveiw the plot as quickly as I can. Hillary is asking about sex, Larry gets a morbidly obesse girlfriend. Bad jokes flow forth like water over Niagra Falls, idiocy is filling the episode. And Kenny [worst actor ever] tries to break up Larry and Marla... boring very very boring.

    Needs improvement! hide show

    Bellow average. While "War At Home" is usually filled with some great irreverent humour this episode was just plain dull. Just a bunch of scenes about a father with an unhealthy obsession over his daughter's virginity filled with those not so funny awkward moments. Michael Rapaport's character is turning really annoying really fast. The only funny thing was Kenny. That is one funny dude that takes every opportunity he has. Give him more scenes. And the younger kid. Get rid of Hillary and give these two more relevance. I'm sure the show would improve a lot. As to the episode this wasn’t good comedy or that interesting.

More Notes
  • Marla: Larry, this relationship is the most important thing that's ever happened to me.
    Larry: All right. Fine, I...
    Marla: No, let me finish. Look, I know this is gonna sound totally dorky, but I was so nervous about going out with your family, I got no sleep the night before, and then at the play, ya know I ate a little candy, and well, I just crashed.
    (Cut Scene)
    Candy Vendor: Excuse me, a little candy!
    (Cut scene ends)
    Larry: Oh, God, that makes total sense. I get nervous when I go out with my family, too, and they're my family... []
  • Dave: When it comes to raising kids, everyone has an opinion. Let 'em cry, don't let 'em cry. Let 'em watch TV, don't let 'em watch TV. Spank 'em, don't spank 'em. But the one thing that everyone agrees on is, sooner or later, you have to trust them and hope you raised them right. I'm totally screwed. []
  • Dave: Where you been?
    Vicky: Oh, I was just talking to Hillary.
    Dave: All this time?
    Vicky: Yeah.
    Dave: How long does it take her to roll her eyes and tell you to get the hell out of her room? []
