Ben Landis (Elliott) is shocked when his boss gives him the news that his job as an advertising executive is over because he makes too much money and can be easily replaced by three younger guys for the same amount. He shares the news with his two children, Lindsay (Madison Davenport), age 12, and Dylan (Will Shadley), age 8, who have many questions. Then he fires his live-in housekeeper who he can no longer afford to keep. Now in the role of Mr. Mom, he immediately begins making a mess of everything the kitchen, dropping the kids off at school, managing Dylan&#8217;s asthma attack and making cupcakes for the school bake sale.<\/p>\n<p>But Ben keeps at it and soon gets the hang of things and even finds a supporter in Miss Jensen (Sharon Case, &#8220;The Young and the Restless&#8221;), Dylan&#8217;s teacher, with whom there&#8217;s an instant attraction. However, when he&#8217;s offered a wonderful job at an ad agency in another city, Ben must decide what matters most in life, and what will be the best thing for him and his family.<\/p>\n<p>[imdb]tt1531908[\/imdb]<br \/>\n<strong>Title:<\/strong> [imdb:title] ([imdb:year])<br \/>\n<strong>Duration:<\/strong> [imdb:duration]<br \/>\n<strong>Director:<\/strong> [imdb:director]<br \/>\n<strong>Year:<\/strong> [imdb:year]<br \/>\n<strong>Description:<\/strong> [imdb:description]<br \/>\n<strong>Synopsis:<\/strong> [imdb:short_description]<br \/>\n<strong>Duration:<\/strong> [imdb:duration]<br \/>\n<strong>Categories:<\/strong> [imdb:categories]<br \/>\n<strong>Release Date:<\/strong> [imdb:release_date]<br \/>\n<strong>Filming Location:<\/strong> [imdb:filming_locations]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8421\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DadsHomeBG.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8421\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8421\" title=\"DadsHomeBG\" src=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DadsHomeBG-450x402.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DadsHomeBG-450x402.jpg 450w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DadsHomeBG-150x134.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DadsHomeBG-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DadsHomeBG.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8421\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Another &quot;Feel Good&quot; movie<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Then we turned back the clock to the good old days and watched &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0043759\/\" target=\"_blank\">Love Nest<\/a>&#8221; circa 1946. Summary: Jim and Connie&#8217;s postwar New York building troubles keep Jim from working on his novel. Ex-WAC from Jim&#8217;s army days Roberta moves in, further upsetting Connie but pleasing Jim&#8217;s friend Ed. Tenant Charley, who marries tenant Eadie, loans money to Jim to help him keep the building, money which this Casanova obtains from rich widows.<br \/>\nLove Nest is a 1951 comedy-drama film, directed by Joseph Newman, and starring June Haver, William Lundigan, Frank Fay, Marilyn Monroe, and Jack Paar.<\/p>\n<p>The post-World War II comedy features an early supporting role for Monroe. It is one of the few films Paar made prior to his television career, and the last film appearance by Fay, who had been a popular stage comedian in the 1920&#8217;s and revived his career starring in the long-running Broadway comedy Harvey. It was also the last appearance by silent star Leatrice Joy.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8422\" style=\"width: 335px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Lovenest11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8422\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8422\" title=\"Lovenest11\" src=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Lovenest11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Lovenest11.jpg 325w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Lovenest11-124x150.jpg 124w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Lovenest11-248x300.jpg 248w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8422\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Funny and down-home at the same time...
