Review: A single image from the film doesn’t add much to the narrative, it doesn’t tell the viewer anything except maybe that it’s a big screen adaptation of a television series, and the lead actors aren’t going to sell a film like this.

Trailer Rating: C

Review: Whether or not the film wants to be a comedy, it doesn’t have enough on display in the trailer to make that judgement. It seems like an oversimplified feature about a father trying to ensure his son’s happiness without any clear plan of how to achieve that. And for having two ostensible sitcom comedians on tap, the end result is largely unfunny and without a driving inspriation.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
