The reviews are in for Men of A Certain Age, and they appear to be positive.
If you haven't seen the three thousand, four hundred and sixty two commercials heralding it's arrival I'll give you the download.
Three "men of a certain age" (that would be pushing 50) lifelong friends, each burdened with some form of midlife angst parallel play.
So what are the issues that these three menopausal males are, thus far, encountering?
One is overweight, but not dieting; one is chasing sweet young things and is not embarrassed by it, and the third likes big breasted women, gambles but (redeemingly?) pines for his ex.
It's either the younger male version of the Golden Girls, or the older male version of Sex and The City. It's about time, don't you think? A peek into the psyche of the male. Something, that the Sopranos gave ua glimpses of…but murder and mayhem does, you'll agree, gets in the way of touchy feely.
I've been wondering what diet the overweight one will ultimately decide to go on, and whether that will be the newest fad diet for other chubbette men. But, mostly am eager to see how Ray Romano evolves these three characters and whether their male mid life stories unfold with a balanced amount of testosterone and sensitivity.
Stay tuned.
