Danny and Wheeler are two salesmen who trash a company truck on an energy drink-fuelled bender. Upon their arrest, the court gives them two choices: do hard time or spend 150 service hours in a mentorship program. After just one day with the kids, jail doesn't look half bad. If they can just make it through probation without getting thrown in jail, the world's worst role models will prove that sometimes it takes a village idiot to raise a child.
Latest Review
Uneven Comedy, But Good for Some Hilarity
What I loved most: Jane Lynch, the scary head mentor
What I really hated: The formulaic plot
An uneven comedy that's laugh-out-loud hilarious at times, but mostly rather blah. It's likable enough, but the loose pacing tries your patience, and the formula is painfully apparent. The supporting cast is great though, and Jane Lynch is fantastic in her randomness as a bizarre and scary head of a mentoring program.
