Although some summer releases are raising so many expectations as the autumnal or those of the mid-season , and these we will be busier than normal television necessities, the summer is ideal for catching up with the series that takes a backward or to recover classic television series, or of short duration and rapid consumption. Undeclared has only one season has 17 episodes, released in 2001. Furthermore, it is a twenty-minute comedy, which at the outset, is perfect for this time ... provided they do not have anything better to do, and unfortunately, in this case, it's easy to have it. Undeclared
is the ugly little sister and Freaks & Geeks (discussed here ) . Created by my adored Judd Apatow, the comedy can not reach or the soles of his shoes to his predecessor, which seems to be a natural extension. The reflections on the social behavior and
construction of identity as well managed with Paul Feig in "Freaks Geeks are reduced in Undeclared to a minimum. Instead, Undeclared offers jokes and situations more typical of a sitcom anyone. And the most important factor, the characters, it also pales in comparison with Freaks & Geeks . There seems to be on Undeclared an intention to do minimally interesting characters. Take for example the protagonist, Seteven Karp (Jay Baruchel), a geek happy to leave behind his life in high school and start-an idea which could have a long way, but you just missed greatly. Steven is a superficial character with little charisma, and if this happens to your character, imagine the side. Steven interaction with their new roommates is very unnatural and the chemistry between characters is conspicuous by its absence. There is hardly a shred of sense of true friendship between these characters, who seem to behave like robots in their relationships, those in charge before scanning. As a result, what we perceive is a coldness that works against the series. If the situations were not so absurd comedy, random and topical, we could overlook that. The problem is that this is not a sitcom , but behaves like one. And finally, if the characters do not engage, and plots and gags are in their best, mediocre, inevitably wonder if Apatow was wrong choosing to tell this story format. Or if you simply made a mistake by taking the project to the FOX. Undeclared
is therefore more American Pie that Freaks & Geeks and any of the Apatow film productions. The parade of familiar faces confirms the dependence of an ever growing number of fetish actors to develop an image of authority that has consolidated in recent years. In Undeclared, in addition to Seth Rogen as one of the protagonists in "Freaks Geeks was a secondary little presence, "Apatow Jason Segel uses, just gaining more prominence, to the detriment of the series, and other freaks and geeks as Samm Levine, Busy Philipps, Martin Starr and David Krumholtz -all seen in Freaks & Geeks . Some of these players continue to appear in Apatow productions, forming a large family that has branched out, reducing the six degrees of separation to just one-and extending to the charges of production, Greg Mottola directing a few episodes. And therein lies one of the few attractions of Undeclared , in recognition of these actors, which almost always interpreted eccentric characters and hopefully, more fun than the players.
is not easy to find, but there are several positive aspects that make Undeclared a remotely pleasant viewing. As I said, some secondary characters pose great successes in casting rather unfortunate. In episode 1.07, "Addicted", Will Ferrell plays a thirtysomething who has not achieved anything in life and is dedicated to making
within 24 hours of academic work for the university, also read nine books a week. This episode introduces a degree of reflection which vanishes like a mirage, but it works while it lasts. Loudon Wainwright III-yes, the father of Rufus and Martha "is another hit series. Wainwright excels playing the father of Steven, a man in full midlife crises that found in Steve's roommates in college life and a means of rejuvenation. Finally, Tina Ellroy stands, played by Christina Payano, would not return to action after Undeclared - dorm mate female protagonists. Tina is a typical case of character-bulk just gaining prominence in his own right, and on balance, she is the protagonist of the most successful comic scenes of the series as the musical battle with Rachel after spending el día escuchando la misma canción. También se pasean por la serie actores que más adelante ganaría notoriedad televisiva, como Amy Poehler, Jenna Fischer o Tom Welling, pero sus intervenciones son esporádicas en el mejor de los casos, e insoportables en el peor -como la habitualmente genial Poehler.
Por lo demás, Undeclared no supera las expectativas tras haber disfrutado de una maravilla como Freaks & Geeks . Con excepción de algunos episodios -como el 1.05, que eleva el nivel de calidad y bizarrismo, quizás gracias a estar dirigido por Seth Rogen- la serie deambula entre la intrascendencia y la estupidez de tramas episódicas que no llevan a ninguna parte -Lizzie putting wicks, Steven leaving it to religion after hearing a sermon, Ron and Lloyd investing in the stock market online, and a long frame etéctera flowing into each more ridiculous scenes. At first glance, Apatow seems willing to have fun and entertain the audience, without any pretensions. However, after watching the last episode of Undeclared , one wishes that there had been a little more pretentious, or that he called his friend Paul Feig to throw him a hand. If you want to see Apatow's work in full, or if not has nothing to do, something almost impossible, the viewing of Undeclared is justified. If not, it is better to act as if never existed, and enjoy Freaks & Geeks or Superbad.
