Believe it or not, as a kid, I was a fan of the original movie. Upon looking for something for my dog to watch in the background, while I work from home, I noticed this show on the IMDb channel. After a few minutes, I was utterly disappointed. The overall casting is not the worst, but there could have been changes to make it better. Terry Crews, Coys Stewart, Keesha Sharp, and Telma Hopkins do a great job taking on previous and new characters.

However, Essence Atkins and Teala Dunn were not so pleasant. I sensed a forced or strained voice coming from Atkins that reflects poorly or better yet, sounds corny. Aleisha Allen, known as the punctual teen who can sing, does not reflect in Teala's performance. I'll admit, even Terry Crews does not portray the same persona as the Nick from the original film.

There's supposed to be that dynamic of a former bachelor learning to be a father figure while transitioning into family values. Suzanne should ecstatic about starting a family she dreamed of, alongside maintaining her busy career. The children should be learning how to deal with a new chair at the dinner table, while bonding with their step-father through teenage matters.

As much as the show had potential, I completely understand why it has been cancelled. The jokes missed the punchlines and the storyline left the show.
