PUNQ

Rated 04 Mar 2013

Guy Kibbee as a hot-headed family man who needs to be knocked down a notch or two. And his wife Aline MacMahon is just the lady to do it. A warm family comedy with a lot of shouting where Kibbee almost looked like he was gonna have a heart-attack while making this movie. Aline is always the calm lady and a good counter-person to Kibbee's constant noise. This was a plain decent story carried real well by the married couple.
