Gillian (Amber Valletta) has a new potential love of her life: her next-door neighbor, the sedate pen salesman Bob Ho (Jackie Chan). However, their relationship is doomed as Gillian’s children hold a low opinion of Bob. Gillian wants her kids to be safe and happy. What about Bob? He may not be as sedate as Gillian supposes, but he intends to be so her kids will like him. His opportunity comes when he gets to babysit. However, it looks like his old job may complicate things.
With few exceptions, I am not a Jackie Chan fan. This movie is one of the exceptions. It has over-the-top acting and stunts. The story is a formula and predictable, but these people can act, and the dialog is hokey to match. You will want to kibitz.
I have only seen the Blu-ray version. Be sure to look at the few DVD extras.
