I wanted to like this but couldn't


Too bad, lots of great actors and production value but not even Jim Gaffigan could save this disaster of a film. The characters are not relatable, and most jokes fall flat in this total misfire. Poster and title are strong though. It will probably trick a few people into seeing it. Alcoholics trying to be parents is actually a pretty funny and relatable concept at face value.

The script needed a rewrite.

Yeah, the jokes/situations are just not funny.
I looked through the writer/director's list of past works. None of them were or looked appealing. Wonder how this got greenlit.

The scene with Will and Colin was funny.
