"Good Luck Charlie" Review: You're In Luck

In case you haven’t heard, the upcoming season of “Hannah Montana” will be its last. So Disney Channel needs to find its newest family hit.

And with a little bit of “Luck,” they may have just found it…

Sunday, Disney Channel will debut “Good Luck Charlie,” a show about a family adjusting to a new baby in the house. In the premiere, mom Amy (Leigh-Allyn Baker) goes back to work leaving dad Bob (Eric Allan Kramer) and the older kids to fend for themselves.

Teddy (Bridgit Mendler) is trying to have a study date with a cute guy, but when Dad screws up, she’s forced to juggle taking care of baby Charlie (Mia Talerico) and dealing with underappreciated younger brother Gabe (Bradley Steven Perry). While slacker brother PJ (Jason Dolley) tries to help his dad keep his screw-up from Mom.

The show is cute and Mendler is incredibly appealing. But the real reason to watch is Dolley, who plays the goofy brother perfectly. He’s matured a great deal since his “Cory in the House” days, and it shows as he is perfectly cast for this role.

If you’re looking for a show with cute stories, an appealing cast and something you can watch with the whole family, then you are definitely in luck…

“Good Luck Charlie” premieres Sunday, April 4th at 8:30 p.m. after the network premiere of “High School Musical 3” at 6:30 p.m. on Disney Channel…
