'Bent' Review: A Charming Yet Unreliable Comedy

On NBC's newest comedy, Bent, a practical single mom named Alex (Amanda Peet) hires surfer bum Pete (David Walton) as her contractor. She knows that he's bad news, that he's lazy and unreliable and that he coasts through life on his charm which, while good, isn't nearly as great as he thinks it is. Yet she still lets him into her life.
