This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Plustown
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
pai-rai
this original mid season replacement is much more than it looks like. the cast works really well together. it's part high school sitcom, part snl sketch and part family sitcom. not surprising, seeing as bill lawrence is an ep on this show. an outstading performance gives meloni, a perfect fit for the rugged, one liner-slinging dr cox-ish tough love guy. a father i can really relate to. doctor (i work in radiology too), ex military, libertarian. the music department does a good job and the single cam perspective gets used without any issues on my behalf. not much more to say, i hope it comes back with slightly stronger writing, the episodes so far are pretty much isolated from each other, so i'm not sure if that even should change. i never cringed at any dialog, which tends to happen with bad shows, but this is not a bad show! and guess what: it's not trying too hard to be 90s, it just subtly is.

Jack Dunlevy (Christopher Meloni) is a military dad who is now the stay-at-home dad. His wife Joanne (Rachael Harris) is going back to law school. The daughter Rachel (Claudia Lee) is popular, argumentative and a little dim. The son Frankie (Connor Buckley) is struggling with his raging hormones. And his two idiot friends don't help much either.This is a try and true formula of nostalgic family sitcom. There isn't anything new here and nothing particularly original. The father is angry, domineering and usually right. Christopher Meloni is not well known for his comedic skills. He does some comedic acting every once in awhile. He's better as a serious dramatic actor. His comedic characters usually have a hard edge. This is no exception. This show started slow, but it's a comfortable familiar watch. It got canceled after airing 6 episodes.

If you've watched That 70's show I don't think will manage to like this poorly acted remake. You can practically see all of the same characters (the foreign looking, the mysteriously wise, the authoritarian father, the loose sister, etc), but none of the same "chemistry" (I don't really know how to say it better). I'm a 90's kid, this show should in theory work for me... but it doesn't. It does have some interesting writing going on, but the actors really fail to deliver, specially the young ones. I don't say cancel this show, but I won't recommend it to any of my friends, at least not this (first)season.

Finally a new TV show that combines various facets of old fashion simple humor we all wished we were that open about in family situations with current bold humor on things parents deal with everyday when raising children.Its been a long time since I've enjoyed a show and actually laughed throughout the entire episode. Most shows today are either about zombies, crime, vampires or drama. I am a fan of TV shows that make you laugh and relax, not the types that make you tense and tired.The actor that plays Jack is great, he has always played serious roles and this new father role is perfect for him. Great show.
