Ein leichter Job – wie er glaubt, schließlich ist er Schauspieler und hat bereits viele Väter-Rollen gespielt. Doch David lernt ziemlich schnell, dass es viel leichter ist, einen Vater zu spielen, als einer zu sein. Auch seine drei Kinder sind alles andere als begeistert: Der "Vateranfänger" im Hause Hobbs geht allen gehörig auf die Nerven und der Geduldsfaden ist zum Reißen gespannt.
