A bachelor dream pad overlooking Wrigley Field is home to the close-knit but usually bickering Kolchuk brothers: middle sibling Harry, a levelheaded junior architect; insensitive oldest brother Mike, whose exasperated wife has thrown him out; and kid brother Billy, a college dropout.

Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel 06/25/2019
Chicago Sons repeatedly serves up a lame joke, then chases it with another. When it comes to comedy, these brothers grim are impotent. Go to Full Review
Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 06/25/2019

Ray Richmond Variety 06/25/2019

Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 06/25/2019
