...unwanted attentions from men and battle it out on the dance floor with the Wilsons’ archrivals, the Vandergeld sisters (Jaime King, Brittany Daniel). They unabashedly spoof hotel heiresses Paris and Nicky Hilton, complete with miniature pet dog and sex video, in a hilarious but utterly contrived plot...
...redemption of a long-estranged parent is hardly a novel plot in contemporary cinema; it has congealed to the point where every hug, tear and clumsy montage seem carefully choreographed. Refreshingly, Around the Bend reveals an organic push and pull that approaches the mostly shapeless narrative of real relationships that is only reinforced by the subtle performances of popular screen legends Christopher Walken and Sir Michael Caine...

(The guy-gal thing again; networks run scared from shows that ask for a commitment.) And it's a show with all-female stars that sets its drama on the home front, whereas Cold Case, Alias and Crossing Jordan star individual women in law-enforcement (read: guy-friendly) roles...
