If The King of Queens was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

An absolute cinematic disaster.
Life’s good for deliveryman Doug Heffernan, until his newly widowed father-in-law, Arthur, moves in with him and his wife Carrie. Doug is no longer the king of his domain, and instead of having a big screen television in his recently renovated basement, he now has a crazy old man.

Laughed twice during The King of Queens. Once was a sneeze.

The King of Queens has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The King of Queens actually is?
Look, I wanted to love The King of Queens. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The King of Queens?
Just got out of The King of Queens and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: The King of Queens's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Everyone praising the The King of Queens performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
