Laugh-out-loud opportunities are missed because of the serious drama
20 June 2022
"I Love That for You" looks goofy from a distance, a satire on TV shopping networks. With both Molly Shannon and Vanessa Bayer in the cast (and a delicious Ryan Phillippe cameo), this show has the potential to be outrageously funny as those two ladies are powerhouses in that awkward-comedy genre. So I tune in for them, and I stay throughout the entire 8 episodes to see where this takes me. There are indeed very funny moments, however I keep bracing myself for the laugh-out-loud punchlines but they never quite get there. Those moments are usually tempered down by the ill-fitted serious drama dialogue. Not to say that there can't be drama sprinkled in, considering the subject matter, but the way those scenes are interwoven with the comedy could have been executed better.
