Valentin is Acapulco's resident playboy, until a former fling leaves a baby on his doorstep and takes off without a trace. Leaving Mexico for Los Angeles to find the baby's mother, Valentin ends up finding a new home for himself and his newfound daughter, Maggie. An unlikely father figure, Valentin raises Maggie for six years, while also establishing himself as one of Hollywood's top stuntmen to pay the bills, with Maggie acting as his on-set coach. As Valentin raises Maggie, she forces him to grow up too. But their unique and offbeat family is threatened when Maggie's birth mom shows up out of the blue, and Valentin realizes he's in danger of losing his daughter - and his best friend.

Quotes
[In life, there are blows... harder than being thrown from La Quebrada at 6 years old. I'll always carry with me... the memory of the two great lovers of my life. The first one... taught me to be ready to face life. And the second one... taught me to face life without being ready]

Amazing!!!!!

I watches with my family yesterday and I'm so glad that we went to go see it!! This movie made me laugh and it's made me cry. The story has so much heart and originality. Eugenio Derbez really puts Mexican cinema up there. I truly recommend this movie even if you don't speak Spanish you can still enjoy this amazing and wonderful movie . The way the characters all develop through out the movie. It's really nice to see a movie now a days with a really story and this real humor not obvious played out comedy but true situational comedy. The movie has a great way to captivate you and makes you fall in love this the characters. I totally recommend this movie to anyone who loves to laugh and get taken away by a great story
