Hey! Hey! I saw you watching this! You're not supposed to like it! You're not supposed to laugh at it! It's got the wrong politics and... ... yeah ok, the bit is over. The fact is it really doesn't have any politics in it, it's just about a decent father and his family, and it's about a macho man surrounded by women trying to relate to them and done respectfully. Which is actually probably why you're not suppose to like this. But who care's it's funny and its politics free, so much so that the only politics in it are projected. So, Kudos, it's worth a watch
