Once it settles on a tone, after gradually moving from 'gentle family comedy with some light improv' to 'heightened live-action Simpsons episode', this is generally very funny. Ferrell and Poehler work well together, and even Mantzoukas whom I usually find irritating stays on the entertaining side of manicly abrasive here. Probably the main issue is that the narrative and supporting cast are rather ill-defined, but the comedy generally makes up for that.
Rating: Good
