My Thoughts:
I first saw this movie shortly after a lot of my colleagues have been let go. In a way it hit close to home. But surprisingly I still enjoyed this movie a great deal. Also this time around I enjoyed watching it. Rating:

Synopsis: After their son Nathan got divorced, father Tom (Beau Bridges, Stargate SG-1) finally feels free to leave his wife Carol (Margo Martindale, Dexter). While Tom suddenly moves in with their daughter Debbie (Jayma Mays, Glee), Carol moves in with Nathan. Laugh track comedy.
My Opinion: I know these crazy schemes are a standard sitcome pattern but this time it just broke the show for me. Maybe it was just too early for a non-established character to pull one of these.
I barely saw the appeal of the show in these first two episodes but I would have given it a chance because compared to Dads I found Beau Bridges' dad rather funny. But this whole fake death stunt made me seriously dislike the mom and whatever the show had going for it just vanished.
