Bennie Upshaw (Mike EPPS) serves her six-year-old Maya daughter (Journey Christine) breakfast. He tells him that he likes it when he serves breakfast and starts pouring the syrup into ice real.
Bennie is a well-known mechanic who lives near Indianapolis with his wife. Regina (Kim Fields) and Maya Daughters, and Aaliyah (Khali Spraggins). They both worked, and they barely eroded.
But there was a lot of love in the family, and children couldn’t help anything. Regina compiled a big birthday party for Aaliyah’s 13th birthday.
Let’s say that Bennie, a man who intends good:
Well, has some lousy follow-up problems. He delayed the booking of Lotus room until the last minute, something that Lucretia Regina (Wanda Sykes) would occur. Lucretia and Bennie did not have the biggest fans of each other.
But she arranged money to help her start her car workshop. And she and her sister very close, so she and Bennie spent a lot of time insulting to insult.
Because the Regina party room wants to be ordered. Bennie finally uses the VFW hall. That her old army friends are booked for parties “You have sprung up”.
For their duck friends (Kennedy page), who discovered Jesus in prison. But when everyone gets there. Regina and Lucretia were horrified, but Aalya and her friends liked it. Even Bernard Jr. (Khali Spraggins), who owned Bennie and Regina.
When they were 15 years old, were there; Bernard has more or less cut Bennie from his life. Mainly because his father has never been there for him who grows up.
But there are complications; Tasha (Gabrielle Dennis), the mother of her son Kelvin (Diamond Lyons), threw his 13th birthday party. Yes, Bennie made Tasha pregnant when she and Regina “rested”, and Kelvin was only a few weeks older than Aaliyah.
Kelvin began walking with the wrong crowd and got into trouble. There were no thanks to the permissive catering of Tasha, and Bennie. They began to feel that the boy needed more often. But first, he needs to find ways to be two places at once.
The critical analysis of the show:
Sykes created a rise with Veteran Regina Hicks sitcom (girlfriend, unsafe, sister) and retro feelings performing intentionally. There is a need for a sitcom featuring a middle-class family that does not always serve children.
There is a reason why the show is TV-14, besides the language (the word “bad” was thrown around a lot); Bennie’s life is complicated, and the fact that he has two children around the same age. Through two different women is only part of him.
This is a level of complications that make attractive increases. But performances are lowered by jokes and tired situations. That should leave in the 90s (or, more accurate, ‘0). At the same time, it feels relatively modern to have a patriarch. Of the streaks of the sitcom having children with other women.
Or have a tense relationship with the adult children they have when they are teenagers. Sykes, Hicks and writing staff seem to sweep that in tropics that feel pretty mouldy.
Bennie had to hide that she would go to Kelvin’s party by saying she got ice? Listen, it seems Regina reluctant to accept the idea that her husband’s “baby mama” in their lives. So we are not sure why Kelvin did not roam around his father and half the sister. In a scene at Aaliyah’s party, Bennie decided to invite Kelvin and Tasha.
To see Kelvin’s party mostly filled with adults. Where Aaliyah and Kelvin talked to each other like a stranger, unlike their siblings. Of course, this is entirely in the possibility that they both barely know each other.
But it feels more like arrangements than something just a sad fact from Bennie’s life?
There was also a problem Lucretia and Bennie threw insults at each other. The sitcom tradition was as old as the TV itself. Some of his in-laws always make comments about how many main character clods. And there is always verbal back and forth.
Will we know at a point that they both feel like family with each other and (suggest!) Take care of each other? It seems like this, where there is a sight that touches between these two enemies. Then returns to humiliation like what happens.
All this is how we say that, even though a total increase in the sitcom doctor. In front and behind the camera, and has the main character with an exciting and complicated life. He wastes all with a plot and dialogue roared a quarter Century ago.
Our call: pass. Upshaw’s have a “good sitcom bone” but is very burdened with tired plots. And the dialogue only makes a show that feels like it’s stale, even though it just started.
