Jackie Chan plays an ex-CIA agent who finally meets his match: a trio of trying children.
Having retired from the spy game after putting his nemesis, Poldark, behind bars, Bob Ho has decided his next step is to marry his girlfriend, Gillian, who’s also the girl next door. But before the big day, he’s charged with looking after her three children – who all happen to despise him.
The babysitting isn’t going well, when another curveball is thrown into the mix: Poldark has escaped, and he’s out to get Bob. This fun comedy stars martial arts expert Jackie Chan and Amber Valletta as his would-be wife.
