When Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid) a widowed and self-absorbed professor falls for his attractive former student (Sarah Jessica Parker), his all-too-predictable life suddenly turns sunny-side up. That is until his freeloading brother (Thomas Haden Church) and his sharp-tongued overachieving daughter (Ellen Page) speak up, making chaos the word of the day. Delight in the clarity, comedy and conundrums of the lovable yet dysfunctional family in this lighthearted comedy.
