Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The American version of Kath & Kim, based on the wildly successful Australian sitcom, owes as much to its talented lead actresses, Molly Shannon (Kath) and Selma Blair (Kim), as to its witty premise, and the combination makes the series a lovely guilty pleasure.

Mother (Kath) and daughter (Kim) are obsessed with celebrity culture and fancy themselves celeb wannabes in their own mall-centric world. Both actresses have perfected the red-carpet catwalk, for instance, with the perfect hair-toss, which nobody but each other--and the viewer--really notices. One of the best bits about the two leads is their penchant for mangling words as they put on airs (think Archie Bunker meets Married with Children…). The malapropos alone make the series worth watching. In making some silly point, Kath declares, in her closing line: "Ipso fatso." Argument won. But if Kath and Kim are shallower than the Los Angeles River, they do have big hearts underneath--which gives the series its balance.

Extras include deleted scenes, a gag reel that's truly over-the-top, and spot-on commentary by stars Shannon, Blair, Mikey Day, and John Michael Higgins, as well as the show's executive producers and writers. A lot of talent goes into making these women so perfectly dim. --A.T. Hurley "



Product Description

Molly Shannon (Saturday Night Live) and Selma Blair (Legally Blonde) bring their comedy talents to the sassy and fashionably funny series Kath & Kim. Kath (Shannon), a foxy 40-something, and Kim (Blair), a self-absorbed suburban princess, are forced to reevaluate their hilariously askew mother-daughter relationship when Kim moves home after just a few weeks of marriage. Join them in every fun Season One episode as they aspire to be just like the pop culture celebrities they love while dealing with the more down-to-earth men in their lives. Based on the successful Australian series of the same name comes this hilarious, tongue-in-cheek look at relationships that has plenty of outrageous style to spare!

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this show so much, August 19, 2009
First I'll just say that I have never seen the Australian version, so I'm making no comparisons with that when I view this show. That said, I think this show is absolutely hilarious!

The humor in this show definitely appeals to a certain sensibility, but I totally get it (a lot of the jokes have a Will and Grace-y vibe). It's a celebration of the suburban life and all that entails (the mall, sales at the Z Gallerie, caring about Suri Cruise's latest haircut, spoiled adult children who won't leave the nest). Kath's style including her home decor (the entire episode "Home" is a nod to Kath's wonderfully bad taste), her clothes, the taste in hairstyles (the flying wedge, cough, cough), are campy and really make the show. If Manhattan was the 5th character of Sex and the City, then Kath's "style" and the world she's created using it, is arguably 5th character on this show. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but this show is almost a validation of my own sad suburban life ; )

I think the actors really make this show great. Molly Shannon is wonderful, and it's obvious the character was created specifically for her (the woman who adapted this version from the original Australian one says as much in the DVD commentary). I can't imagine anyone else playing the part. Phil is a riot and Craig's good-hearted bumbling grows on you. Honestly, I think Selma Blair probably adds the least to the show. She's not bad, but where Molly Shannon is Kath, I could see Kim's character being played by any number of people.

I could see how this show might not appeal to everyone, but for me, it hits all the right notes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love to laugh?, July 8, 2009
This show was very witty. You need an open mind, and able catch the slight humor in some things instead of always obvious humor. It's a major disappointment about the show being canceled. Had great writers. If you like this show, you would like Carpoolers. No idea if Carpoolers is on DVD yet, it only lasted a season as well. :(
