Joe a sports writer becomes a single parent and needs deal with all home tasks and take care of little Artie.

There are many points in this movie that caught my attention such as a child growing up without father’s presence, parents that always say ‘YES’ for a child and necessity of work against necessity to leave children alone in house. Those points were wisely placed on in the movie with drastic and funny results that could easily happen in the real world.
Particularly a like it and recommend it especially because I grew up as a only child without a figure of a father.
