Hotshot Chicago real estate developer Michael (Ben Stiller) never had time for family. But when Michael's sister and her husband have a terrible accident, their house, farm, and four boys (Homer Janson, Ulysses Janson, Atlas Janson, Arlo Janson) become Michael's responsibility. He drives out to his sister's small Ohio town thinking all he needs to do is sign some papers and get back to the city, but it's not nearly that simple.
With the parents gone, the boys are practically feral. Until the family services worker (Linda Cardellini) can find them a home, their only guardian is Uncle Mike. Before he knows it, Michael is chasing chickens and providing improvised "health" classes. Desperate to free himself from inherited fatherhood, he's both surprised and thrilled to learn his sister trained her boys in ballet. Can that make them cute enough for someone else to foster?
