Synopsis

Henry Winkler plays Jack, a stressed-out computer salesman struggling to sell his company's defective product and overwhelmed by his hyperactive children. Hoping for peace and quiet when his wife takes the kids camping, Jack instead finds himself in a week that makes his life even more chaotic. His troubles begin when a party-loving coworker introduces him to Cherice, a beautiful but wildly unpredictable manicurist. Cherice's antics range from handcuffing Jack to the bed to baking cakes at night and evading police in high-speed chases. Her presence turns Jack's dull routine into a wild, non-stop adventure, creating a zany comedy that delivers continuous laughs.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
