Unbelievably BAD NBC sitcom
One of the MOST unfunny sitcom in my memory banks!!! Lead Actor CAN'T ACT!!!! He isn't likable on any level and seems more like a deadbeat then successful accountant or ANYTHING.As a American who's lived in other countries. I understand that when you live in places other then your homeland there can be lots of funny moments adjusting.
BUT, there's no funny moments here, some have written from the Swedish perspective it funny, COOL I take their word for it. But from this side if the pond I have to agree that I find NOTHING funny in Greg Poehler character. Lazy, self-absorbed Yank unwilling to work as a Accountant and unqualified to do anything else including learning the language of his new country!?!
One, Special Guest aren't funny,
TWO, Greg Poehler CAN'T ACT and it shows when he's next to REAL ACTORS especially Lena Olin. And I generally love anything she's in and enjoy seeing her speak in her native tongue.
The other cast members are good in their rolls and Bornebusch is very attractive, I can see a guy moving to be with her in another country, BUT.
THREE, there's no chemistry between them.
Even though it been given a second season in Sweden...
Strike 1,2,3 = you'll OUT. Time to put this show out of it misery... At least for us in the STATES...
score 1/10
