About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an easygoing, 80s-style role-reversal family comedy with lots of domestic mishaps and a charming lead, somewhat in the spirit of Uncle Buck; Not for you if dated humor bothers you.
Pros: likable cast; quotable jokes; light family fun | Cons: dated stereotypes; uneven laughs; predictable premise
