Two best friends, a lawyer and a motorcycle mechanic, are pressured by their ex-girlfriends to reveal the identity of their child's father on "Fathers' Day." As they desperately try to avoid this responsibility, they embark on a chaotic and hilarious quest, roping in a third friend to pose as the father. Their efforts lead to a series of misunderstandings and comedic situations as they navigate the complexities of fatherhood and relationships.

• The humor often falls flat, leading to a predictable and uninspired plot.
• A missed opportunity for a genuinely funny and heartwarming film.
