A breezy, silly family sitcom stretched to feature length, coasting on broad gags and a gruff lead's comic exasperation.

How it feels: Light, absurd, warm and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Family, coming-of-age, parenthood, ambition
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
