A grumpy old man lives in his bedroom with his fishes, growls to his kids (teens) and roars to everybody else. There's no domestic servant who would like stay in that house for long. What to do? Well, kids start to search a nice woman who would like to marry their father.

Old-fashioned, but nice little comedy. Joel Rinne is good as usual, as is the other cast too. The script should have been better.
