Loving but irresponsible dad Daniel Hillard, estranged from his exasperated spouse, is crushed by a court order allowing only weekly visits with his kids. When Daniel learns his ex needs a housekeeper, he gets the job -- disguised as a British nanny. Soon he becomes not only his children's best pal but the kind of parent he should have been from the start.

VIBE

A boisterous, heartfelt ride that balances laugh-out-loud physical comedy with poignant family drama. It feels like a warm hug, albeit one delivered by a whirlwind of a character, exploring the lengths of parental love and the complexities of identity with a genuinely sweet and often uproarious touch.
