The perfect oddball couple.  A teenager and an octogenarian.  A sweet tale of two people that don't understand each other forced to work together and figure out they aren't what they thought they were.  
I loved both Tanner and Louise and how they came to understand the other.  A little bit heartwarming and a little bit heartbreaking, but always entertaining.  It is both goofy and a little nuts as these two work to solve their mistakes.  

There is never any doubt where this one is headed but it is the journey where Tanner and Louise connect and understand each other that is the gem of this story.  Part hijinks. part humor and a whole lot of touching moments made me love these characters.  Flaws and all.
