Info

Sons of Tucson is a family comedy about three brothers who hire a charming, wayward schemer to stand in as their father when their real one goes to prison. What begins as a business relationship evolves into something more complex and compelling: a family unlike any we've ever seen. The three brothers find their dad-for-hire, Ron Snuffkin (Tyler Labine), at the local sporting good store. Ron will be forced to draw on a wide array of skills and a vast bag of tricks as he steps into the patriarch role to take care of the boys of the Gunderson family. Robby Gunderson, 8, is a loose cannon who doesn't respond well to authority; Gary Gunderson, 11, is a bright and street-savvy leader who is every bit the con man his father is; and Brandon Gunderson, 13, is a gentle free spirit who simply goes along for the ride. Maggie Morales (Natalie Martinez), Robby's second-grade teacher and the object of Ron's affection, might just be the only stable figure in the lives of this quirky quartet. While Sons of Tucson is grounded in the day-to-day challenges of a single-parent home, nothing in the Gunderson household is quite what it seems. An ongoing chess match between Ron and the boys will keep both parties on their toes, as neither side can afford to give up too much power or independence.

Sons of Tucson Audience Reviews

Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
hddu10 This is a clear rip-off of Malcolm in the Middle (which I actually liked, as other posters here stated as well). Anyone who can't understand this is simply stupid. Two of the writers of MIM were behind this farce, along with Justin Berfield (whom I actually respected before this) producing it. Justin in fact proves to the world that you simply cannot regurgitate a formula (i.e. 3 brothers against adults) and expect it to work just because a previous hit used it. And sadly, Justin just couldn't resist a spot in FRONT of the camera in the last episode, playing some obnoxious neighbor who everyone is instantly supposed to revile...even though there was no set-up or motivation to do so before this episode...which means it doesn't work. With all disrespect to the brain-dead, clueless wannabe "film critic" here whom no one has ever heard of, listens to or cares about in any way, this mess could only be appreciated by someone too stupid to understand the difference between good and bad comedy.
O2D I find it interesting that the first review I read of this says that it's a Malcom In The Middle rip-off.The fool claims to be a huge Malcom fan and says he can tell they "poached" some of the writers from that show.He managed to prove he's an idiot and possibly a liar, all while thinking he was zinging this show.If he was really a fan of Malcom(or had ever paid attention to this show), he would have noticed that Justin Berfield(Reese from Malcom) was the executive producer of this show.Instead of talking about the obvious facts, he just makes up lies and feels like a big man.I have watched every episode three times and never once thought it was anything like Malcom.Thinking about it now all I can see that they had in common was that there were three boys on both shows.But then I paid attention to the show.Anyway, this was one of those few shows I watched from the very first day it aired.It's also the reason I stopped doing that.Not that I didn't enjoy the show but every time I get into a new show they start moving it around and then they cancel it.Which is exactly what happened to this show.While the premise is hard to buy into and there are plenty of plot holes, this show is really funny.They had plenty of guest stars and even tried to use Joe Lo Truglio as the wacky best friend.Unfortunately they decided to focus on the kids and Joe isn't seen much after the second episode.I won't waste time pointing out all the plot holes and things that don't make sense, there are too many of both.I will say that despite those small flaws, this is a funny show.Too bad it got cancelled.
playmkr278 I have to agree with the other two reviews that have been posted so far. I loved Reaper, I love The Loop, and I loved Sons of Tucson. There are a few other shows I loved as well and they were canceled before being given a chance. I am curious about the ratings of Survivor at this point. I would have to think they are much lower than they used to be yet they keep churning out show-after-show of fake drama.Day Break was another one that got axed early and it was only slated for 13 episodes at the very beginning. What's the point of canceling it when it is slated as only one season? Viewer outcry at least drove the network to run the rest of the episodes online as I believe the Black Donnellys might have as well.I think it is time to do more than the Nielson system. I cannot understand, with all of the other unwanted intrusion in our lives, why cable cannot just do real time ratings as well as take into account DVRs, online viewing, etc...
brennansimmons001 This show was great! What a wonderful break from reality T.V. and crap shows like the Marriage Ref. The dialog between the characters was solid and playful...even the kids are fun in this show. It didn't leave you feeling like you wasted time watching mindless television, but instead it always did it's job and left you feeling light and ENTERTAINED (something the masses have been missing for awhile now). This show would have done well if given the chance to blossom. Oh but alas the all knowing powers that be think they know what we want to see and cancel every show I enjoyed like... Reaper, My Name is Earl and Sons of Tucson. Well I hope that Tyler Labine continues to get great roles. I'll be watching and hoping they don't cancel the next show. One day the world might enjoy something other than pure garbage...what a shame
