Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A workaholic with a fear of commitment struggles to reconcile his dysfunctional past during a trip back home to visit his ailing father in this comedy starring Jimmy Fallon. Christopher Rocket (Fallon) is a nice enough guy, but thanks to his troubled family history, he isn't much for making commitments. Just as his smoldering girlfriend Anne (Lucy Liu) begins hinting that she's ready for him to pop the big question, Christopher's self-absorbed father (Tom Arnold) suffers a major stroke. But the stroke may actually be a blessing in disguise, because once Christopher returns to Florida and begins building bridges with his free-spirited mother Jane (Sharon Stone), his priorities finally start coming into focus.
