CGiii Comment

Nick Kroll has got to be the most uncharismatic actor out there...stick to your day job.

His dour face, his dour temperament wield a performance that can only be described as distinctly unpleasant.

It's one of those comedies - without laughs. Not-so-wry observations and vacuous philosophising...delivered with punishing apathy.

The [slight] gay story line...as vacuous and unnecessary as is the philosophising.

Kroll is not a man who can carry a film...no matter what his ego thinks.

A worn-out dud.

The(ir) Blurb...

A young, narcissistic entrepreneur crashes and burns on the eve of his company's big launch. With his entire life in total disarray, he leaves Manhattan to move in with his estranged pregnant sister, brother-in-law and 3-year-old nephew in the suburbs - only to become their nanny.
