Writer-director Hallie Meyers-Shyer wrote the title role specifically for Michael Keaton

Andy Goodrich's life is upended when his wife enters a rehab program, leaving him on his own with their young kids. Goodrich leans on Grace, his daughter from his first marriage, as he ultimately evolves into the father she never had.. "I wrote it 100 percent with him in mind," she said, "to the point where if he had said no, I would have buried it and myself in the backyard.". The box of "Cinnamon Toast Crunch" keeps turning 180° during the breakfast scene..

Andy Goodrich's (Michael Keaton) life is upended when his wife and mother of their nine-year-old twins enters a 90-day rehab program, leaving him on his own with their young kids. Thrust into the world of modern parenthood, Goodrich leans on his daughter from his first marriage, Grace (Mila Kunis), as he ultimately evolves into the father Grace always wanted.The story is not just about Keaton growing into being a father, it&# 39;s about him growing every time life throws him sideways. I guess the whole story, with negative event after negative event coming at him from all sides, tearing at who he is, is about him fighting back quietly and stoically and overcoming everything life can bring that's dark. He improves himself into a version that multiple people can love, and he finds what is really important in life instead of spending all of his energy on work.

Vivien Lyra-Blair as his daughter Ellie deserves a major shout out for her great performance

Keaton's performance is brilliant and justifies the writer and director's (Hallie Meyers-Shyer) decision to write the film for him. He is ably backed by Mila Kunis who proved she can do serious acting as well as the comedy she is well known for. She's been around for several years now and she just keeps getting better and better.All in all a great film which says to me "Don't ever give up. Always strive to overcome and move forward." Most of us over a certain age already know this but it's great to have a reminder, and it's one done so cleverly and emotionally.

A thoroughly enjoyable film with great performances by everyone and I gave it a 7
