This sequel picks up as the newly formed family of Nick, Suzanne, Lindsey and Kevin move from the city to the suburbs in the pursuit of an idyllic life. A renovation leads to chaos, however, as Nick clashes with the eccentric contractor, Chuck Mitchell Jr. (John C. McGinley), who bonds with Suzanne and the kids.
