The joy here is watching Grammer and Lawrence trade barbs (and there are a bunch of them).
While Jackson will feel some genuine hesitation and wariness about Grammer's pit-bull personality, it doesn’t feel yet like the chemistry between the actors has fully developed.
There is great chemistry between old pros Lawrence and Grammer, even if the scripts are spotty and feel about 20 years old, same-sex marriage references notwithstanding.
Kelsey Grammer gives his pompous-windbag act another whirl, this time opposite Martin Lawrence on the predictably old-school comedy Partners.
The goal of establishing them as a mismatched pair in the pilot (written and run by sitcom veterans Robert L. Boyett and Robert Horn), as well as a subsequent episode, proves stale and weakly defined from the get-go.
Some of the jokes are criminally bad, the supporting characters are tired tropes, and Lawrence seems to be dialing it in.
Get past the genuine awfulness of this--and it is awful--and a strange melancholy begins to settle in.
