Reviews
For Filmstarts .de it is “a typical family sitcom, in which every episode ends with a morally sour happy ending that is mostly conjured up out of the hat.” “The pure sitcom artificiality [would] only occasionally by Paul Donald Wight II alias The Big Show, who luckily (!) Is not good enough as an actor to tear down his role as mechanically as the other cast members ”.
Jaschar Marktanner's verdict on Film-rezensions.de is somewhat more positive : “Big Show in particular has a lot of fun in its role and shows good comedic timing, which is wasted on such dialogues. The feel-good moments such as a cookoff between father and daughter or the end of the season finale have their very own charm. "
