Up All Night has begun its second season this year in September. Even though there are a few plot twists and a new character, the show starts off to be pretty boring. Throughout the show, it is very unexciting with a few interesting moments.
The show kicks off with Reagan, Chris, and Scott (the newly added character) talking about remolding their bathroom. Reagan, played by Christina Applegate, is skeptical about having her brother Scott, played by Luka Jones, remodel her bathroom. But Chris, played by Will Arnett, reassures her and makes her feel like she needs it. Then to add a plot twist, Ava, played by Maya Rudolph, comes in with news that The Ava Show is cancelled. This news sends Ava and Reagan into a panic; they question what they should do with their lives now that they have lost their jobs. While panicking, Reagan finds her baby Amy's binky. When she found this, she realizes she wants to stay home with her baby. She feels as if she is missing out on her baby's childhood by working. Ava takes this as her and Reagan breaking their partnership because they won't be working together anymore. Next, Chris decides to stop being a stay at home dad and get his old job back as a lawyer.
Ava is taking Reagan's choice to stay at home really difficultly. She goes over to Chris and Reagan's house to have Chris help pick out her outfit for her new job interview. She does this to make Reagan think she doesn't need her anymore and to make her jealous. Reagan realizes this but still rushes to try and save Ava from her wardrobe malfunction at her interview. Ava refuses her help and ends up tanking her interview; she blames Reagan for her mistakes. At this point, the two decide not to be friends anymore.
Chris has his first day back at work and doesn't like it. He misses being home with Amy all day. Then, Chris goes with Scott to his work and sees how horrible Scott's boss is. Finally, Chris comes up with the idea of him and Scott starting their own contracting business.Reagan and Amy's feud continues until they see an old photo of them together and remember their good times. They realize they can't live without being each others friends, and ultimately decide to become friends again. And, they realize that they were never really mad at each other, they were just mad about their show being cancelled.
The new season of Up All Night has added a new character and sent the show in a different direction by cancelling the Ava show, which was the main plot for season 1. The normally funny show was quite boring to start off with. There were few exciting moments, but luckily Ava saved the show from being completely unwatchable. With her witty and humorous comments, she lightened the mood of the show and made it a little more enjoyable. I look forward to seeing more of Ava and will continue to watch the show despite it's rather uninteresting start.
This review does a good job of explaining the back round of "Up ALL Night". All the pictures are clear and show a good image of what the show is about. The links are also helpful because if you click them they come up with reliable websites and get good info on them. She did a good job at telling the reader what had happen in the show play by play and its easy to follow. Also she gave some comments mentioning how the show was good but mostly bad in her opinion.

I like your use of vocabulary choices in the article. Also, I liked how your pictures were closely related to the show. You could have used captions to show what the relationship between them and the show. I liked how the article flowed nicely. The mechanics and grammar are good.

This is the best article I read today. It includes everything that it should, pictures, links, and a clear summary of events. The picture of Chris with the baby holding the hammer really helped illustrate his character in the show. There were no grammatical errors that I noticed and the whole thing flowed together nicely. I also like that the links go directly to the show site on NBCs website.
ReplyDeleteFor the most part it seems like all of you grammar is correct. The way you keep the review flowing and on track, keeps the reader with interest.One thing i did notice is that if you had used captions to connect the show better.Although that seemed to be the only minor mistake in the review, it turned out to be a spectacular overall review.And lastly, your pics+the background gave a superficial creativity.- Baltazar Calvillo
ReplyDeleteAwesome review, Brenna! Very good explanation of the episode. The tone and connection to the reader was very strong and it held my attention through the entire article. No spelling, grammar, or punctuation mistakes! The pictures and links worked very well. Very appealing to look at and read. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI think that it was good that you stated your opinion right away so that the reader would know what your thoughts were throughout the review. It was a nice change to see that someone wasn't afraid to say that they didn't like the show because most people would usually say that they like it even if they didn't. You gave a good recap and I was able to follow along pretty easily so that was good. Also, the flow of the article was very smooth so it was really easily to follow. You did a good job with grammar, opinions, and tone and I think it was a great review.
