Dad's Week Off (1997)

3.3/10 • 95 min • Comedy TV Movie

Overview

Henry Winkler stars as Jack, a stressed-out computer salesman who can't sell his company's defective product and can't take any more noise from his hyperactive children. Jack looks forward to peace and quiet when his wife volunteers to take the kids camping - what he gets is a week that drives him even crazier! Jack's troubles begin when a party animal co-worker introduces him to a beautiful but wildly unpredictable manicurist named Cherice. When Cherice isn't handcuffing Jack to the bed, she's baking cakes in the middle of the night or eluding the police in high speed chases. Cherice turns Jack's dull, ordinary life into a wild non-stop adventure - and a delightfully zany comedy that will keep you laughing from start to finish.
