An explosive comedy, by the author of I really like what you do. Definition: Weapon of mass destruction with dreamy measurements, "babysitting" your children during the holidays. Put it there with a neurotic mother in full "post-natal" depression, a father who is in his midlife crisis, a friend of the heavy flirtatious incorrigible family and note the damage: An explosion ... of assured laughter.
