The woman left her thinking alone about the idea of the child she gave birth to a married man. The woman is trying to find a perfect husband for her and her baby Mickey. Micky may have a good idea about James the taxi driver who turned into the right babysitter. Maybe Micky is right and will take all the tricks that a child can think of to convince them before it's too late. He seems to be fully aware of who will be a real father.
This flabby comedy ... deserves only one thing: to fall on its fat one.
