The description of this film is all wrong!

The description on the back of the film says this is a film about love & sex & rediscovering spouses.
Nary a mention of the actual main father-son part at all! I had seen this film before I bought it, so I knew what it was about already & liked the movie, but what a misleading plot summary.

"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

I thought it was odd how there wasn't a single clip of Calvin in the trailer. Seeing as how often he appeared on screen. While romance is a factor, the film focused more heavily on Russell's life as a single father. But you wouldn't know that from what they presented in the teaser.

Hell, the title itself is a reference to Russell's relationship with his son.
