A by the numbers comedy that may entertain if bored enough

Rating: 2/10 (17 February 2013)

Kevin James stars in this awful comedy that reminds viewers that Hollywood can still be a wasteland of bad ideas.
James is a likable enough guy but the material here is weak, the writing and jokes are very by the books. Many of the jokes you've heard in various forms in other D grade comedies. The plus side is that it actually is a heartwarming story, it's too bad the actual comedic execution falls so short save for a few jokes. Henry Winkler steals the show in the film and reminds you that James isn't as laugh out loud funny as he should be in a film like this.
When to watch it: if it's on cable, it may help you pass the time on a boring evening.
