Tagline: Sit. Stay. Play Dad.
Two best friends-one unlucky-in-love divorcee (Robin Williams) and the other a funloving bachelor (John Travolta)-have their lives turned upside down when they’re unexpectedly charged with the care of 7-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The not-so-kid-savvy bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins (newcomers Ella Bleu Travolta and Conner Rayburn), leading to one debacle after another, and perhaps to a new-found understanding of what’s really important in life.
The film stars Robin Williams as Dan, a workaholic who’s better with numbers than people, and John Travolta as Charlie, a fun-loving bachelor who likes his life exactly like it is. Kelly Preston stars as Vicki, Dan’s old flame who springs the twins on Dan after keeping them a secret for seven years; Seth Green portrays an enthusiastic, up-andcoming employee at their sports marketing company. Newcomers Ella Blue Travolta and Conner Rayburn star as the twins. The all-star lineup also includes Lori Loughlin, Matt Dillon, Rita Wilson and the late Bernie Mac.
