White's Lies

Ben Andron’s comedy is like a 1980s sitcom minus the heart. Tuc Watkins is a shameless playboy whose mother (Betty Buckley) wants him to settle down, initiating a chain reaction of zany Three’s Company–style misadventures. Despite enjoyable slapstick turns from Peter Scolari and Rena Strober, the action is equal parts predictable and absurd, amid an endless parade of one-liners.—Pamela Newton
