How I Met Your Mother Audience Reviews

Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

yaaseenvalli Even though I got round to watching all of the episodes of HIMYM pretty late on, I was always aware of the show because I'd see it on TV but never pushed myself to watch it all from the beginning to the end, and I can now say that it is one of the best TV shows that I have ever seen, it really is as barney would say, AWESOME! Honestly, there aren't enough adjectives to describe how great this show is. It has everything, countless laughs, witty jokes, the relationship between the characters is amazing and the casting couldn't have been better, and it has a little bit of emotional bits every now and then which is needed I suppose to keep things into perspective.Overall, I can say this show is LEGEN... wait for it... DARY!!!

kunalrohit-23360 Why? Why? Why did I watch this show? There's nothing unique in it. Overacting is main thing that is the worst about this show.Well, there are certain bunch of people who compare this show with FRIENDS. I mean yes it has humor but nothing compared to FRIENDS. Although you may find that few scenes, sequences, characteristics and even dialogues are same as FRIENDS.Now let's talk about the characters. All of them has done great job on overacting, except Barney Stinson (payed by Neal Patrick Harris). I mean yes, he's doing overacting here but his characters rules that out. If you really want to watch this show, watch it for Barney Stinson only. Rest of characters are the worst.I'll go re-watch FRIENDS over this nonsense.

friekie6 This show has a lot of issues, with the main character Ted just barely being the worst. He's obsessive when it comes to Robin, in an unhealthy way, and every other relationship he's had since meeting her have ended because of this obsession. It's hard to meet 'the right one' when he won't allow himself to forget Robin. Luckily the writers had a solution for that when it came to the actual mother: kill her off. In a 15 second scene where they don't bother to explain what's going on (because, let's face it, Tracy actually looks healthy lying in that hospital bed), they completely destroy everything they've worked up to for years just so Ted can finally be awarded for continously screwing up everything in his life for a woman whom he finds too independent and who's never wanted kids. Guys, just because she comes to visit him & his kids to have dinner, does not equal wanting kids. If she wanted kids, she would've had them with whatever guy came after Barney.Now that we're at Barney: Whatever the writers were thinking, it wasn't anything good. They wanted a womanizer and instead created a monster with daddy issues so deeply disturbing that not even marrying Robin could get rid of it. Because of course there was a divorce and he's lost all his hope in love because of that. Like, dude, go see a shrink you don't bang in the end. The many conquests achieved through ridiculous lies may seem funny if you look at it superficially, but even then it's just a way to portray how stupid women can be and how easily they're seduced if there's a 'hot guy' involved. To anyone who thinks that Barney is the way to treat the other sex: don't ever talk to the other sex.Honestly I could go on and on about the problems with each individual character, but I'll leave you to rewatch the episode where Robin's ex-psychiatrist shares what he thinks of the group and leave it at that.If you believe in true love and romance, I highly suggest you don't watch this show. Unless you want to get an idea of how to turn love into a disturbing obsession, then go for it of course.

ymunoz1989 This is definitely one of the few that I love. This show is hilarious. It's a fell-good type of tv show. Are you feeling down? Have you had a rough day? If so, watch How I Met Your Mother. I'm sure that will bring your spirit out. Lol. Seriously, though. This show is rather quirky and sometimes a bit unrealistic, but don't give up on it. Trust me. Keep watching. It's a good show. Barney is the funniest, Lilly and Marshall are the cutest, Ted is a sweetheart, and Robin is something else (in a good way). It doesn't end how you expect it to. I definitely reccomend.
