Product Description:
Kevin and Jamie are two roommates. Kevin is irresponsible and sloppy but compared to super-slob and slacker Jamie Kevin looks almost anal-retentive. While both are content to wallow in their immaturity Kevin must contend with his girlfriend Sarah's attempt to 'improve' him. Jamie is always ready to provide immoral support.System Requirements:Run Time: 780 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 826663104042 Manufacturer No: D4D10404

Retrosexuals are back, baby, and between 'Man Laws' and Rob Schneider's unaccountably successful film career, this short-lived 1996 Americanized remake of the popular Britcom should behave much better on DVD than it did in the Nielsen ratings. Schneider stars with Ron Eldard (ER) as Jamie and Kevin, childhood friends and roommates. Jamie puts the 'id' in idiot with his Kramer-like body spasms and double takes whenever in the presence of a hot babe. He's the slacker type who uses underpants as a coffee filter and endangers an impending job interview so he can surreptitiously rummage through the belongings of his beautiful new neighbor who has unwisely given him her keys. 'First impressions can be unfair,' she tells him, 'but you really seem like a jerk.' That's an understatement. Kevin has a slightly more evolved attitude toward women (in the first episode, he queries whether sex is still consensual if his partner falls asleep during it). He at least has a girlfriend, Sarah (Justine Bateman of Family Ties). While the pathetic Jamie struggles just to get to first base, Kevin wrestles with his commitment issues. The situations are predictable (in one episode, Jamie pretends to have a child so he can date a single mother) as are many of the jokes. 'They're tire models,' Jamie states in one episode during a disastrous double date. 'They're used to being rotated.'). But you've got to admire Schneider's steadfast commitment to his rude muse without regard for audience empathy.
Eldard and Bateman departed after the end of the first season, but hold those jumping sharks. Schneider took top billing and welcomed a new and equally stunted roommate, Steve (Ken Marino). Both were well matched with female foils. Dina Spybey, who has a young Goldie Hawn's ditzy charm, enjoys an expanded role as Jamie's neighbor, Brenda; Jenica Bergere is Steve's new girlfriend, Katie. Men Behaving Badly may not rank in the 'Must-See' pantheon, but especially for Schneider fans, it makes for great boys' night in viewing. Beer, chips, and supermodels not included. --Donald Liebenson

Rating:  - Rude, Crude and Obnoxious
The title says it all but I love Rob Schneider and will watch anything with him in it.Don't you just hate it when your enjoying a series then they [networks] decided to change [get rid of] actors and put in an actor or actors they think is best for the show. Here is an example of it here after the end of season one. Justine Bateman was a good actor for Rob to play off with and they should have written more stories around them but didn't.If you have a few extra bucks burning a hole in your pocket...pick it up.
Rating: - It's a Man's World
I bought this show (known to me as It's a Man's World) based on a few hazy memories. I had forgotten how funny the show was. The first few episodes had me in stitches.
You can basically look at Kevin and Jamie as a couple of irresponsible losers, or as two men who decided they want to get as much fun out of life as they possibly can (there are often some hiddens pearls of wisdom in this show).
Unfortunately the show had a huge problem with inconsistency. Apart from Jamie, Kevin and Sarah the first season has an unstable cast, it is about halfway through the season that Brenda is made a regular. It is this time that the humour starts to ease off, though the three main characters easily carry the show with their interaction.
In the second season Kevin and Sarah leave to be replaced with Steve and Katie. The inconsistencies take over (the set seems to change every episode, as do character backgrounds) and you are left waiting for the comedic 'moments' instead of constantly laughing. Basically it feels like you're watching Friends.
But this set is worth it for the first season, especially the first episode, and the second season is worth seeing. It does feel overpriced, there are no extra features at all (not even subtitles) and I feel that a commentary episode or featurette would have worked well.
Rating:  - I love this show
I used to watch this show when it was on the air and I loved it. I thought Rob Schneider and Ron Eldard did a great job and I was really sad when it got cancelled. It used to be my favorite show. I am so excited that it now on DVD and I'm really looking forward to watching it all over again.
This show is not for everyone and you really need to appreciate this type of comedy to get into it. I still remember some of the great lines from this show and wondered if it would ever be available. I just got the DVDs and since my husband has never seen it, I'm looking foward to introducing it to him.
Rating: - Absolutely hilarious!
I watched these on TV 10 years ago and couldn't wait for the DVD. I laughed my behind off on every episode in the first season. The second season with the departure of "Kevin" and "Sarah" is not as good but still funny and worth watching.
Rating: - Great 1st Season, OK 2nd Season
This show is genius and was one of my favorites. The characters and writing was hilarious. Rob Schnieder was the star of the show, but when Ron Eldard and Justine Bateman left the show after the first season he missed the great chemistry he had with them and the show suffered. The replacements didn't have the same talent level and it felt like Schnieder was trying too hard to make up for it.
"Jamie, let me ask you something, okay? If a couple, say like Sarah and I, have a cooling-off period. What does that mean?"
"I'm sure it varies from relationship to relationship, but for me, it means you're shot out of a canon into a sea of FLESH."
"Well, apparently, Sarah agrees with you."
