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.
