Synopsis

Harvey Middleman lives a humble life, he loves his kids, he loves his wife, and he really loves his job. One night Harvey saves a young model from a burning building and its love at first sight. Harvey then struggles to determine what he should do, seeking guidance from his therapist who's more concerned with her own problems. Comedy ensues as Harvey often breaks the forth wall and the film dose not take itself seriously at all.
