The inevitable happy outcome is telegraphed almost from the opening credits, however the characters are engaging enough to hold the viewer for entirety of the formulaic journey. A few plot elements do seem a bit of a stretch. For one, Hector Elizondo will buy the business provided the current owner is a family man, yet plans to move the business to Mexico causing the current employees to lose their jobs. For another, the natural father begs to see his little girl at Christmas, but only long enough to tell her that he can stay only for a day. Why bother to see her at all, one thinks.
