After his wife leaves him, middle-aged Ben Bingham slips into a funk and refuses to change out of his pajamas. Justin, Ben's 17-year-old son, has the cure for what ails his depressed dad: he gives Ben a makeover and pushes him out into the singles scene.

A charming, low-key comedy about a father's midlife crisis and his son's attempts to help. It feels like a warm hug, offering gentle humor and a focus on family bonds and finding yourself again.
