Director: Marshall Herskovitz
Cast: Danny De Vito, Robert J. Steinmiller, Miko Hughes, Gary Sinise
A sympathetic but sentimental drama comedy about a widower who tries to raise his two sons. He faces many challenges, and all of them are not ironed out, which is refreshing. Steven Zaillian scripted from Dan McCall's novel. Marshall Herskovitz made his name as the producer of Thirtysomething on TV, and this is his directorial debut.
