A catchy but irrelevant title is the first of many problems with Excuse Me for Living, which throws together a lot of superficially flashy elements that never gel in any organic way.

Like Lloyd, who plays the clinic's leading loon, "Excuse Me" is much more about making fun than making sense.

Rated: 2.5/4

Is it a comedy if the audience laughs or is it a comedy if laughs were intended, irrespective of whether they're generated? "Excuse Me for Living" qualifies under the second definition.

Rated: 2/4

There are some decent actors in the film, but their roles are small and has no real effect on the quality of the film. You wonder how these films get made, do they realize it's a bomb or think it's good. If they know it's a bomb, they probably just want to recoup their investment and move on. Which is what we should do - move on BEFORE seeing this mess!

Story is unstable and unclear where it is going.

It was cute fluff. Fun. Not much depth and Lifetime should have picked it up.
