Press
Robert Popper's family comedy comes to an end with the Goodman boys finally bringing their girlfriends over to meet mum Tamsin Greig, yet not without a typical dose of drama and predictable gags, especially as theyre both called Lucy. There's glass in the soup, unexpected arrivals and embarrassing anecdotes galore.
