- Nate Bargatze plays a car salesman who must oversee his three daughters—Stella Fitzgerald, Birdie Borria, and Charlotte Tucker—while his wife travels on business.
- Director Eric Appel fails to elevate the script, unable to cross what critics call the "stale" divide despite the premise's potential for family mishaps.
- Reviewers note that Bargatze's standup comedy is "edgy," yet his film performance feels considerably more restrained compared to his stage work.
- The film ultimately fails to distinguish itself among family comedies, leaving audiences with a predictable entry that struggles to resonate with critics.
