Joe is a shy father separated from two, who dreamed of becoming a professional golfer but now has a party supplies store, Owen works in a job he hates, in a car sales company owned and operated by his father. Terry is a part-time actor trying to restore his former glory. Friends trying to maintain their friendship.
As one might expect from Romano, a fast moving mix of physical comedy and wry dialogue articulate this friendship, revealing its complexity and its depth.
I'm sure it's tempting to look at the cast of Men of a Certain Age and say Romano has no business acting in a drama opposite Andre Braugher and Scott Bakula. But Romano will sneak up on you, and the show might, too.
Men of a Certain Age shows terrific promise on a network whose two other male-dominated series -- Leverage and Dark Blue -- are mostly about springing into action and random wisecracking.
