I never watched this series during its original run, and I have been binge watching the series on Hulu from Season 1. It's a pleasant, fun series-I wouldn't have made it through 6.5 seasons otherwise. But the writing and storylines are consistently burdened with cliches and manufactured drama. This episode, however, is top-tier-smart, plausible, and a clear step forward in the arc of Tony snd Angela's relationship. If the writing had been consistently this good, Who's the Boss? Might have beenup there with Cheers and, dare I say it, The Golden Girls. Light, Danza, and Helmond are great actors. Here the material matches them.
I'm late to the party, but after viewing this film for the first time, I think it's remarkable. The casual tone, the fun appropriation of modern pop hits, the breezy comedy, the reworking of the plot to address women's issues-all of it is remarkable.
Camila Cabello has major comedy chops-it's difficult to believe this is her first acting role. The rest of the cast is goofy and charming. The acting and writing is schmaltzy in places, but to paraphrase one of the characters, "It's A-frican musical!"
Anyone who doesn't find it great fun when the ladies at the ball break into "Whatta Man" is too jaded for me. There's a million perfect little moments like that here, and I'm a much happier person than I was before I started watching it.
I truly don't understand the one-star reviews, unless they reflect a group project from the 2021 Incel Convention.
This movie is GREAT.

This is a typical amusing episode, but one scene steals the show: when a sick, grumpy Lester overuses the tiny "summoning bell" Sandra gives him to call Mary, she loses her mind and mutilates the bell with a sledgehammer. It's not original, but the staging and Marla Gibbs' commitment to the act of violence is off-the-charts hilarious.
