About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a warm, ’90s family comedy about a kid adjusting to a new parent figure, with light slapstick and simple lessons, like First Kid; Not for you if you dislike corny subplots or dated cultural material.
Pros: sweet family message; strong cast chemistry; ’90s nostalgia | Cons: corny club material; ill-fitting side plot; uneven humor
