Dad (richard grant) is going through a breakup of his marriage, while son (pacar) is just falling in love with a girl he has just met. Mom (moss) is staying with the next door neighbor (manheim), and has also met someone new. They all still lean on each other when necessary. Can they help each other get through all this? Smaller roles for rita rudner, janeane garofalo, jenna elfman. It's cute....has a strange vibe at the start, but the chemistry gets better as it goes along. In the beginning, dad seems to be channeling hugh grant, sounding and acting just like him. But he settles down after that, and the film gets better. Good, solid story, as the son teaches dad to be a playa in the dating world. And dad teaches son to get more serious when he falls in love. This is listed as a comdy. No real big laughs, but it's good. Written and directed by barra grant. So many grants... wonder if she is related to richard. Or hugh.
