No, I’m not gonna get cranky just because the Sweet One made me watch the craptastic Joe Millionaire last night (we’re down to one TV while the bathroom remodeling is done). Though that was painful.
This crank is inspired by the geniuses at Paramount. They apparently are just about to sign Tim Allen to star in a big screen take on ’50s TV sitcom Father Knows Best. You remember, the one that starred Robert Young as the dad and Jane Wyatt as the MOM, who have three kids already (Betty, Bud, and Kathy). But the studio jizzbots are apparently working on a script in which Dad is single and has a son who enters him in a Father of the Year contest under false pretenses. The essay, of course, wins and Dad is going to spill the beans as a lesson to Junior. Until he meets the judge, who just happens to be his perfect potential wife. Hijinks ensue. Hilarity, well that’s another thing entirely.
Ben Stiller as Starsky or Lucy Liu as an Angel is one thing, but please, let’s at least find a story/structure that comes within the same lightyear as the original if you need to use an existing name as a cheap way to sell your movie. Pretty please.
