The story is set in a small town/suburb outside NYC. A couple have a foster kid high school boy who is gay. The foster kid and his "bi curious " buddy witness a murder, a lot of contrived drama unfolds from there.
The above couple are lady cop and guy shrink. The Mom cop is also an incessant "rhymes with witch". She is constantly narcing the kid about everything. "where are you going who are you calling where were you ?" " Poker night was our alone night BOO HOO" Someone has to tell this chick to just LET IT GO !!!!! let it goooooooooo......
The shrink Dad is trying to be cooler, BUT he is constantly differing to her. In addition, he is shown to be madly in love with her, which makes no sense because she has all the charm of a middle aged school marm, and half the sex appeal .
Everybody seems miscast. The shrink hubby is an alpha looking dude playing a beta, the Mom Helen Torrance character is a plain Jane playing a leading lady, and the "macho conflicted moto crossing "bi" kid has dyed blonde hair and a smiley smiley mugg reminiscent of David Bowie. It's all so confusing. Even the obligatory mixed race chic looks white, but with a brand new fright wig....
The cliche villan- pedo looks like a male model? etc..,etc..
I watched most of it, the way you would finish a big mac and fries , the whole time thinking it was junk. This might be done well as a spoof: one that had a lot of slap stick with the Helen Torrance character as recipient. Would it be too much to ask if her character got rubbed out in the re do?
score 3/10
