Mmmm... This was nice. I mean, I'm not gonna lie, some of the acting and writing is not as up to par as usual, but there were still some really nice moments.
I love Max's girlfriend's character, it just gets better and better, and even though I love and miss Haddie, I like her as the Haddie replacement. Omigosh when she wanted to watch the movie with Kristina and she put her head on her shoulder, oh man! I could just feel that moment (from Kristina's perspective - even though I've never been a mom, but maybe it's all the babysitting and/or working with teenagers).
Also Drew. I just love Drew all the time lately, and that scene towards the end where he tells his girlfriend that trying to help his sister IS his life, oh MAN. For real. Can we all just become like this, where we don't have to change our lives to help other people because helping other people is our lives?
And Amber helping Hank's daughter, that was a good scene - the first time I liked the daughter character, but I guess that makes sense. Oh but that "celebrity" game they played, that was SO well written, I totally know that feeling because I'm usually on the side where I don't know anyone famous's name or about pop culture and it feels awful. I sort of hate that game for that reason.
I guess this was the episode Joel and Julia didn't get to be on (every character this season I think has to miss two episodes so the show's less expensive).
Oh, and Max's girlfriend, gosh what is her name -----IMDB check----- Dylan, right.. when she's playing with Nora with the doctor set, omigosh she's getting so into it, and it inspired me to be better at that when I'm babysitting. I just get so bored with that kind of stuff, ugghhhh, but I need to not and start taking better interest, so that was a little moment for me.
