And then there’s sporadic snow for the next several hijinks-filled days. And then the parents are drunk only sometimes when I was expecting “Arthur”-level intoxication. I mean, it’s called “Drunk Parents” (2019). And yet, like, everybody is in this movie (Alec Baldwin, Salma Hayek, Jim Gaffigan, Will Ferrell, Joe Manganiello, Ben Platt, etc.). It’s a half-assed train wreck that looks like it got slapped together over Presidents’ Day weekend, but at least it’s Salma Hayek’s half-ass.
