| 2 out of 5 Js in QUIET Rating System |
Billed as a comedy, like many flicks we find out it's really drama with some comedy. Dramedy should be a legit category and this would fall into that. Aidan Bloom (Zach Braff) is examining his life after pursuing his lifelong dream of an acting career. His wife Sarah Bloom (Kate Hudson) carries the family financially in the job she hates. Because of fiscal reasons, they have to pull their two kids from Jewish private school. Instead of public school, Aidan is going to give a shot at homeschooling. Why not? Humorous exchanges with his trailer living gamer brother and his dying Jewish father lend for some laugh out loud moments. With that being said, this is most assuredly a renter when it hits OnDemand which will probably be sooner than later.
