When Frank Beardsley (Dennis Quaid), a widower of 8 children runs into his high school sweetheart, Helen North (Rene Russo), it€s as if thirty years never passed! Helen, also a widow with ten kids of her own that include the six she and her husband adopted, feels the attraction as well. It€s no wonder they rush into marriage without telling their kids. True love can conquer all€"right? Unfortunately for Frank and Helen, the families don€t mesh quite as easily as the newlyweds had hoped. They probably should have seen the culture clash coming: the disciplined Beardsleys run things by the book; for the energetic and vivacious Norths, there is no book. Helen€s kids aren€t pleased about moving and sharing rooms with a bunch of uptight strangers. Frank€s children have nothing in common with the Norths. Since both sets of kids aren€t happy, they devise a plan to undermine the marriage and team up to plot the breakup. East meets west as the two families finds a way to work together€"in order to separate. Just when it appears that the kids have succeeded, they realize they like each other despite their differences€"they don€t want their families to split up! Can they save Frank and Helen€s marriage after they so brilliantly split them up? It€s up to Frank and Helen!
