Based on the New York Times best-selling novel by award winning author Wally Lamb. A vivid slice of 1960s life, Wishin’ and Hopin’ is a wise-and-witty holiday tale that celebrates where we’ve been-and how far we’ve come. In the small town of Three Rivers, Connecticut, we go straight into the halls of St. Aloysius Gonzaga Parochial School with Felix Funicello, a Catholic school fifth-grader in 1964, whose claim to fame is his cousin Annette Funicello, the famous Mouseketeer and teen movie queen. But grammar and arithmetic move to the back burner this holiday season with the sudden arrivals of substitute teacher Madame Frechette and feisty Russian student Zhenya Kabakova. While Felix learns the meaning of French kissing, cultural misunderstanding, and tableaux vivants, Wishin’ and Hopin’ barrels toward one outrageous Christmas!

Two and a Half Men is a guy show that sets feminism back a good three decades. Women are portrayed as either bimbonic objects of lust (Transformers’ Megan Fox guest stars as Berta’s teenage granddaughter), vengeful and retaliative (Heather Locklear as Alan’s divorce lawyer), crazy hot (Jenna Elfman as an unstable single mother on the run), or emasculating (Holland Taylor as Charlie and Alan’s mother, or, as Charlie refers to her, “Mom, the Impaler”). The charming Melanie Lynskey’s is a particularly thankless role, that of Rose, Charlie’s “insightful and disturbing” stalker, who becomes Jake’s babysitter. While Charlie’s “bad-boy act” could quickly get old in lesser hands, Sheen, in the past not the most natural of comic actors, is in his element. Charlie’s genuine affection for Jake goes a long way toward redeeming his character (and lack of it). Two and a Half Men, a People’s Choice Award-winner its first season, really adds up with a crudely funny sense of humor that is all kinds of wrong, but also smart and, at times, even sweet.
