More Ashton Kutcher on season 9 episode 2 of Two and a Half Men titled “People Who Love Peepholes.”
TV Fanatic: While Kutcher has grown on me slightly since last week (which isn’t saying much) the show still just feels a little off.
There were plenty of scenes in Men’s previous eight seasons that did not feature Charlie, so I’m not even just blaming his absence. “People Who Love Peepholes” just didn’t feel like Two and a Half Men. For example, take Berta.
I’m a huge Berta fan, but for some reason, they decided to give her a voiceover this week. When you’re already going through such a huge change like swapping out your main star, do you really have to change up the format on us?
Tonight, we also met Walden’s much talked about ex-girlfriend, Bridget, played by Judy Greer. I’m not convinced you’re going to find a bigger Greer fan (just check my Facebook profile picture!), but I have to say… this casting just felt off.
Maybe I’m just getting cynical, but the ages feel out of whack on this show. Alan (Jon Cryer: 46) is now suddenly BFFs with Walden (Ashton Kutcher: 33), who used to date Bridget (Judy Greer: 36).
Yes, I realize Greer isn’t much older than Kutcher, who’s clearly no stranger to older women, but Hollywood always casts younger women and they’ve made me used to it. And Alan feels way too old to be hanging out with Peter Pan (though his house made me think much more MJ).
Before I offend too many people, I’m going to bring this review to a close. I’m glad the episode ended with Alan moving back into the Malibu beach house. We got that hurdle out of the way.
Now we just need to find a way to make Walen less idiotic and more likable. Then, we need to find a better form of comedic chemistry between Cryer and Kutcher.
There will never be perfect dynamic between the Harper brothers. But we need to do a little better than tonight if this show is going to last more than the season.
