The Class

With a title like The Class, don't be discouraged if five minutes in your eyelids start drooping and you're forced to bite the tip of your tongue just to stay awake. Those still conscious will be treated to the farfetched yet imaginative reunion of a group of estranged twenty-something's who were all students of the same third-grade class. The former classmates' lives now span the spectrum of personality traits from blue (suicidal) to green (naïve) to every other color of the rainbow (gay). Don't expect the big laughs from a CBS comedy—please direct attention to Exhibit A: Two and a Half Men. Although the dour Lizzy Caplan delivers ample funny-because-she's-hot quips, in retrospect, much like those school days, they're just not as great as you remember them.
