Plot Summary

Katie Armstrong is a beautiful and vivacious young widow whose first marriage left her with three energetic, strong-willed, and thoroughly unpredictable children. When she falls in love with Grant Jordan, a dignified and somewhat reserved college professor who is more accustomed to libraries than to the chaotic energy of family life, their romance seems like the perfect second chance for both of them. Grant adores Katie and is willing to embrace the challenge of becoming an instant father to her brood.

Their elegant plans for a sophisticated honeymoon at a luxurious Grand Canyon resort are immediately and catastrophically derailed when the children’s planned caretaker becomes unavailable at the last possible moment, forcing the newlyweds to bring all three children along on what was supposed to be their most romantic getaway. Grant puts on a brave face, determined to make the best of the situation, but nothing in his academic career has prepared him for the relentless energy and creative destructiveness of three unsupervised children in a resort hotel.

The children proceed to systematically demolish every romantic moment the newlyweds attempt to create. They interrupt intimate dinners, destroy hotel property, provoke confrontations with other guests, get lost during sightseeing expeditions, and generally transform what should have been a blissful honeymoon into an escalating series of hilarious catastrophes. Grant’s patience is tested beyond anything he has ever experienced in a classroom.

As the disasters mount, genuine tensions begin to develop between the newlyweds. Katie feels guilty about the disruption while also defending her children, and Grant begins to wonder whether he has made a terrible mistake in marrying into a ready-made family. The film builds to a warm and satisfying resolution in which the beleaguered couple discovers that the most meaningful honeymoon is not about romantic perfection but about learning to become a real family together.
