In his new life down South, working-class Jeff gives his own special spin to everyday little moments as he tries to help his wife, Karen (Cusack), and two sons, Matt (Osment) and his younger brother, Justin (Lipnicki), through life’s trials and tribulations. Adding to the chaos of their new home are the drop-in visits of the rambunctious, red-haired, Army brat, girl-next-door Nettie (Kathryn Zaremba, Sisters, Annie Warbucks) and Foxworthy’s larger-than-life father, Big Jim (Bailey), a good ol’ boy who knows how to grab all the gusto life has to offer.
At his new job, Jeff manages the loading dock of a shipping company, where he enjoys his work and colleagues, even though their female boss, a passive-aggressive steel magnolia, constantly challenges every Southern boy’s chivalry.
