THE PLOT THUS FAR
The Malibu beach house men have matrimony on the brain in Season Ten. But where the heart (or other body part) is concerned, even the most honorable dude can screw up. Billionaire entrepreneur Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher) extends an extravagant proposal only to indulge in a fling with a stalker before finding true love under an assumed identity. Nebbish housemate Alan Harper (Jon Cryer) decides life with his longtime girlfriend is better with her than without, then gets caught in an internet scandal with his super hot ex-wife. And newly enlisted man Jake (Angus T. Jones) pops the Big Q to a tattoo queen twice his age, then decides he likes her daughter better! It’s just what dudes do while under the influence of testosterone, women’s wiles, and Berta’s occasional pot brownies. Catch the hilarious contact high on all 23 manful episodes.
WHAT WE THOUGHT
“Two and a Half Men” has been on the air for ten years? How in the hell does a nation let that happen? Much was made over how terrible last season became, but it’s not like CBS is ever going to gut their cash cow. Hell, it took three consecutive shit seasons before FOX put House out of our misery. Miley Cyrus shows up in some episodes here, but she’s still going through that awful butch haircut phase. She’s a pretty girl that likes smoking Salvia, America wants to like Miley and Molly. Just let us.
Sheen brought out the best in the supporting characters, while Kutcher seems to be one of many, which leaves the show without a lead character. Without Sheen, Alan, Jake, and the rest of the cast are rudderless and though the same writers are still providing the lines, the show is flat, unfunny, and impossible to watch because it is so bad. If this show had been pitched with Kutcher instead of Sheen, it would have never become a TV series. Nevertheless, that’s where this season went.
The DVD comes with a featurette and gag reel as the special features. The A/V Quality is strong with a supportive transfer and a Dolby audio track. The Dolby track doesn’t get much back channel action outside of the few major slapstick scenes. In the end, I’d recommend a purchase to fans.
