Comedy, 2010 (Rated PG 13)
Tim Allen plays Tommy who is fresh out of prison and looking to make a new start that does not involve crime. He moves in with his pathological lying yet extremely caring sister, reports to his probation officer, and gets a job in a fast food joint. Trouble tries to find him by way of his old buddy Gray (Liotta) and he does a good job of resisting until he becomes frustrated when his cagey past continues to follow him and ruins his fledgling romance with his attractive probation officer. Can he stay on the straight, narrow and continue the struggle to play it straight or will the lure and the money of his old way of life call him back.
- I'd never heard of this one but it was pretty funny from start to finish. Tim Allen is great as a not so rough and tough ex con and Sigourney Weaver does a great job playing the role of his protective tough yet sensitive older sister.
- There are funny moments throughout the film and it leans toward a somewhat cliche story line but it's a light hearted comedy so not only did I expect that but it was done well enough that I also enjoyed it.
