Shawn Levy finds a Father Figure

It sounds like the sort of sitcom pap that American TV networks (and a few British ones) would just jump on and turn into a highly-rated, beloved series while other, more creative shows wither and die. But Father Figure is actually a movie pitch in which a successful, established, woman-chasing bachelor steps up to his responsibility and offers to care for his widowed sister and her daughters after daddy dies.

And who better to bring us this slice o’ laugh-grabbing life? Why, that would be Shawn Levy, who birthed Just Married, Cheaper By The Dozen and Night At The Museum. Yes, be afraid.
