I ALREADY TRIED TO RAISE A KID ONCE. IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.

Warning: Spoilers
Oren Little (Michael Douglas) is a successful Connecticut real estate agent wanting to sell his $5.8 million dollar home for $8.6 million. Being an old white guy he makes politically incorrect statements without knowing he is offensive. He lives in a converted apartment building that he also owns. His wife has passed on years ago, but he has trouble moving on creating a rough exterior. Like most people in Connecticut, he dreams of living in Vermont.

Leah (Diane Keaton) is his neighbor, lounge singer. She too has issues in dealing with a lost spouse. (Guess where this goes.) Out of the blue, Oren's long lost , former drug user son Luke (Scott Shepherd) shows up. He is going to spend a few months in prison and needs Oren to look after his 10 year old well adjusted daughter Sarah (Sterling Jerins) named after grandma, Oren's wife. Oren refuses but gets stuck with her anyway as she becomes a project for both Oren and Leah.

The film is formula. The on screen chemistry is hit or miss and doesn't seemed to be operating on all cylinders. There weren't any heavy Puffs' moments.

The take away for guys is that after sex, women require 10 minutes of cuddling...try not to get caught looking at the clock.

Parental Guide: No F-bombs, sex, or nudity. Implied sex. Sex/drug references.
