Plots(1)
They say, like father, like son, but for Abe (King) and Abbie (Crystal) Polin, nothing could be further from the truth. Abe is king of the Hollywood extras. As an actor he's an expert at being a face in the crowd. His son Abbie is a respected NewYork heart surgeon who's always felt like a bit player in his father's life. When Abbie suffers a mild heart attack, he decides it's time to mend family ties...or break them altogether. So he heads out to Hollywood, where his efforts at reconciliation lead to hilarious consequences. (official distributor synopsis)
