Alcoholic former writer Morgan Freeman befriends lazy dog, woman and three daughters next door. I'm glad he moved in, because I'm not sure the kids would have had a very good time over the winter, when everything closed. Also the eldest daughter should have been allowed to see her dad, surely. But where are my manners? Virginia Madsen is the neighbour, and the girls are Emma Furhmann, Madeline Carroll and Flora O'Neil; with Kenan Thompson (the nephew), Fred Willard (neighbour), Ash Christian (Carl) and Kevin Pollak (agent).
Well, entertainingly written by Guy Thomas (and, apparently, with uncredited help from Reiner and Andrew Scheinman) but with too much sprinkling of Hollywood sugar (particularly in the music department). 'Mrs. O'Neil.' 'Mr. Wildhorn.'
