SYNOPSIS

Written by Goldthwait, the story centers on Robin Williams stars as Lance Clayton, a single dad who has learned to settle in life.  He dreams of being a rich and famous writer, but has a thankless job as a high school poetry teacher.  His only son Kyle (Daryl Sabara) is an insufferable jackass who won’t give his father the time of day.  He is dating Claire (Alexie Gilmore), the school’s adorable art teacher, but she doesn’t want to get serious -- or even acknowledge publicly that they are dating. Then, in the wake of a freak accident, Lance suffers the worst tragedy and greatest opportunity of his life. He is suddenly faced with the possibility of all the fame, fortune and popularity he ever dreamed of, if he can just live with the knowledge of how he got there.
