TV Review: Two and a Half Men - "What a Lovely Landing Strip"


Season 9 - Episode 11
Comedy Central (UK)

It took a while for Ashton Kutcher and his Walden Schmidt character to settle into Two and a Half Men, but now, at the midway point of the season, the episodes are consistently funny. As I've said before, Two and a Half Men has never been a classic comedy, but has always been funny. This year, it did take a few episodes, but the last few really have been funny, and this one was no different.

Walden wants to show his new English love interest Zoey that he's finally over Bridget by signing his divorce papers in front of her. After taking Zoey to Mexico on his private jet and getting her daughter into a prestigious private pre-school, she falls for him. And then Bridget comes back, wanting him back. The show is a vehicle for Ashton Kutcher to be almost naked on TV at the moment, which I'm sure the ladies aren't going to complain about, and this scene really worked. As did Bridget going crazy, driving her car through the wall of the house and taking stalking advice from a welcomly returning Rose. This episode probably had more laugh out loud moments than any in the past three or four seasons, and that can only be a good thing.
