Plots(1)
Alternately touching and wildly comic, this film follows the tribulations of a Matt Hobbs (Nick Nolte), a struggling actor who is suddenly forced to care for his precocious 6 year old daughter Jeannie, while at the same time trying to move his career forward and have a romance on the side. Though she's precocious and talented, Jeannie can be a difficult, especially now that her acting career is starting to take off. But in the interim, Matt and Jeannie have to re-build their relationship, since they both have a lot of growing up to do. (official distributor synopsis)
