Generational culture clash fuels Andy Fickman’s family comedy, pitting Billy Crystal and Bette Midler’s old-school grandparents against modern, helicopter-parent neuroticism. The humor balances slapstick with sincere generational friction, maintaining a crisp studio sheen that allows its seasoned comedic leads to trade sharp one-liners. Lintz enters the fray as Ashley, offering an energetic, grounded presence amid the chaotic household antics. Filmed during the height of her early recognition, her role here demonstrated an intuitive comedic timing and light touch that contrasted sharply with the harrowing dramatic survival roles defining her television beginnings.
