Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Dennis and Dee’s abrasive mother has died, and the bad news is that she stiffed them in her will, leaving all her money to her humanitarian paramour, Bruce Mathis. But at least Dennis got her house. It’s a “party mansion,” and that’s how he intends to use it.
Our Take
A solidly mean half hour that leans on Dennis’s smug sociopathy, and Glenn Howerton sells it hard. The mansion party stuff is funny in a shallow way, though some gags run longer than they should. It’s the kind of episode that works fine in the background but doesn’t stick with you after. Worth a watch if you’re already on the season.
