Sure, you'll get some easy laughs, but no originality.
[The] clunky scenes work thanks to the exceptional cast. These actors can sell anything. Almost.
There are a few successful jokes here and there, and some able physical comedy involving Bornheimer and Gathegi, but those moments get lost in the shuffle of predictability.
Instead of trusting this foundation and these actors, though, Family Tools seems to feel it must make every situation and interaction so outrageous it turns the characters into cartoons.
A mostly appealing cast is wasted in a laugh-starved show about a relentless screw-up of a man-child who has never been able to find a career path, much less make his dad proud of him.
A stinkbomb sent to critics last summer that is now getting the burnoff it deserves at season’s end.
