However, his personal life is a mess, his father is dying, his ex-kids are not the brightest kids in the world, and his wife isn t fond of him. Trying to cope with all his problems, Dave attempts to make his father proud before he dies, tries to help his kids become better people, and try to get back with his wife. Sounds easy right? Not a chance.
