Promising & Plenty Of Laughs

I had to write this after seeing the only other review describing it as 'Homophobic', something it certainly is not.

The McCarthys are a close knit Boston family who love sports, except for Mother and one of the three sons (there is also a daughter). the son in question is gay, but it is never presented as a bad thing. His family are in fact very supportive, even if their support is at times naive.

This is pretty much a standard family based comedy with plenty of laughs and good performances. The family are lovable dopes in the main, and the whole thing is harmless and often laugh out loud funny.

It may well be canceled (you never know these days) but it certainly won't be because some ignorant people think it's homophobic, thankfully.
