[A] stinker of a family sitcom.
-
With Tools, there is no discernible style, or point of view, or voice, or humor that ever rises to the level of originality.
-
It’s a grindingly bad half-hour with some even worse finishing touches.
-
A mostly appealing cast is wasted in a laugh-starved show about a relentless screw-up of a man-child who has never been able to find a career path, much less make his dad proud of him.
-
Whatever made the original somewhat of a surprise success is clearly absent here, as Family Tools wastes its audience's time with stale, threadbare material that should've never seen the light of day.
-
A stinkbomb sent to critics last summer that is now getting the burnoff it deserves at season’s end.
