I really enjoyed this movie because it shows that father can raise kids on their own not just the moms and that when they do they have the same struggles we as mothers have in a single parent household. Of course it's dramatized but at least it's a start. It also shows that men aren't the only ones to run off on their kids. Not too many movies actually show this perspective. The only other one I can think of off the top of my head is Tyler Perry's 'Daddy's Little Girls'. I also think the boy is just precocious enough that it would take a dad to handle him because he sure gets into stuff but then it breaks my heart at the same time because it's all for attention that he's not getting from his mother in my opinion. I definitely recommend at least watching this movie one time. I have watched it several and my husband agrees it's a good movie.
