Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 2010 TV movie arrived right when 'stay-at-home dad' was becoming less sitcom punchline and slightly more normalized—though it still treats basic parenting like a heroic quest.
Director Bradford May spent most of his career on TV movies and series like 'JAG'—which explains why this feels like a very special episode stretched to 84 minutes.
