Tommy (Tim Allen) has just been released from prison after spending three years for video piracy. He's stuck staying with his sister Viki and her family (Sigourney Weaver, J.K. Simmons) who's desperate to keep Tommy from his old running mate bad influence Gray (Ray Liotta). Viki has told their mother that Tommy was living in France with a whole ridiculous story. Tommy's parole officer is Angela (Jeanne Tripplehorn).
Tim Allen directed this script which probably speaks to his own personal drama. However the comedy is mostly unfunny with a serious side of anger. There is a mean spirit to this movie and to the character. The laughs aren't there. I didn't like the character. If Tim Allen wants to use his past to good use, I think a serious indie about his jail time would work much better.
