'Shifting Gears' Review: Tim Allen Gets Unduly Revved Up for 22 Mins
IndieWireStory by Ben Travers
scrn logline
Veteran sitcom star Tim Allen revs up in a middling father-daughter comedy that stalls out after its initial promise.
beat sheet
- Veteran sitcom star Tim Allen returns to his blue-collar roots, playing the gruff owner of a classic car shop whose life gets disrupted when his daughter (Kat Dennings) moves back in.
- Director James Mangold, known for prestige dramas like 'Walk the Line' and 'Logan', seems mismatched for this lightweight, sitcom-style premise, leading to an uneven tone and missed comedic opportunities.
