Up All Night Review: "The Proposals" (Episode 1.24)

By Adam Vitcavage at 1:00 PM on April 13, 2012

Up All Night’s steady first season came to an end last night and it was a near perfect capstone to the journey Chris and Reagan have taken since their baby changed their lives. This episode highlights what worked so well this season and most importantly the show re-writes history.  read more

Up All Night Review: "Letting Go" (Episode 1.22)

By Adam Vitcavage at 10:37 AM on March 30, 2012

This is it, the penultimate episode of Up All Night’s first season. Freshman comedies can go one of two ways. First: it could crash and burn halfway through. Second: it could actually succeed. It’s a pretty easy coin toss, but it’s one that terrifies networks. What exactly makes a show a good one? Plot to make the initial concept appealing. Acting that makes the characters loveable. Even the sets to make it look realistic and not cheap.  read more

Up All Night Review: "Daddy Daughter Time" (Episode 1.21)

By Adam Vitcavage at 12:02 PM on March 23, 2012

Up All Night is a good show. The first season has had a lot of great moments, but it’s also been littered with uneasy scenes or even full episodes. At first it didn’t seem like there would be a season long plot and then it did. Now it’s back to focusing on single episodes that don’t truly string together.   read more

Up All Night Review: "Couple Friends" (Episode 1.19)

By Adam Vitcavage at 1:14 PM on March 9, 2012

In this week’s episode of Up All Night Chris and Reagan meet Lawrence (Nat Faxon) and Justin (Ben Falcone): a gay version of themselves. Lawrence has word vomit and suffers from nerves in normal situations just like Chris. Justin just wants him to play it cool.   read more

Friends with Kids

By Annlee Ellingson at 9:49 PM on March 8, 2012

Jason (Adam Scott) and Julie (writer-director Jennifer Westfeldt) are friends. Best friends. But just friends. And definitely not friends with benefits, as they repeatedly emphasize how not attracted to each other they are. (Both beautiful people, they doth protest too much, methinks. She says he’s too short for her—okay, fine. But he likes bigger boobs? Whatever.)...  read more

Up All Night Review: "New Boss" (Episode 1.18)

By Adam Vitcavage at 12:34 PM on March 2, 2012

Two episodes ago Up All Night threw a wrench in Ava and Kevin’s relationship, but it all seemed to work out in the end. He wasn’t present during last week’s down episode, but I was shocked to discover that the character (played by a hilarious Jason Lee) was now off of the show. He was always supposed to be a reoccurring guest character, but he worked so well with the rest of the cast that I was hoping they’d find a way to keep him around in some sort of role. Alas, he’s gone and Ava is beyond upset.  read more

Up All Night Review: "First Birthday" (Episode 1.17)

By Adam Vitcavage at 10:58 AM on February 24, 2012

There are times when great shows can be annoying because the characters do something stupid just so the episode can have conflict. This was the case in this week’s episode of Up All Night. Something seemed off the entire time and I’m sorry to say that it was the second week in a row that the show failed to impress me like the vast majority of the freshman season has so far.  read more

Up All Night Review: "Travel Day" (Episode 1.16)

By Adam Vitcavage at 12:26 PM on February 17, 2012

For the first time in a long time Up All Night failed to impress on such a high level. Sure, there were laughs here and there, but it just didn’t do anything special. Guest star Alanis Morrisette, who played Ava’s former girl band co-member, was underused. Airport/bomb scenarios were shrug-worthy. Reagan’s paranoia and control-issues are finally too much to be cute and are kind of annoying.  read more
