Feel like i've just watched my life!!


Just watched this movie on Netflix.. and being
A single dad to a 4 year old little boy there was more than a few coincidences to my life.

Any single parent should watch this!
I complete understand and saw myself in vince vaughans character which at times was frustrating to watch as he comes across as a very dismissive father to his son... it did remind me of myself and that maybe I need to have more fun with him.
Everyday I struggle to further my career because of the guilt I feel towards my son missing out on my time. I work full time but we only just manage.. but I guess the time I spend with him is more important than a great career/money.

I also wanna say that the little boy that plays Calvin is fantastic in this film..
made me get out of bed and give my own son a hug as he was sleeping.

Anyway... sorry for boring you all!!

Not boring at all bro. Just be the absolute best dad you can be at all times (with no exception)and you don't have to feel guilty at all. :)

Furthermore, this is such a great movie and I think a lot of people can relate to this movie.
