Overview

Charlie and Dan have been best friends and business partners for thirty years; their Manhattan public relations firm is on the verge of a huge business deal with a Japanese company. With two weeks to sew up the contract, Dan gets a surprise: a woman he married on a drunken impulse nearly nine years before (annulled the next day) shows up to tell him he's the father of her twins, now seven, and she'll be in jail for 14 days for a political protest. Dan volunteers to keep the tykes, although he's uptight and clueless. With Charlie's help is there any way they can be dad and uncle, meet the kids' expectations, and still land the account?

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

Two middle-aged business partners stumble through unexpected fatherhood with good intentions and plenty of mishaps, learning that being present matters more than being prepared. It's an affectionate, comedy-driven take on unlikely domesticity that trades cynicism for warmth.
