About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a warm, sometimes messy mix of laughs and tears about family, second chances, and romance, similar to Daddy's Little Girls; Not for you if you dislike broad humor or sudden melodrama.
Pros: heartfelt family themes; funny Southern antics; uplifting tone | Cons: uneven mix of comedy; heavy melodrama stretches; some tacked-on moments
