Eddie Harris (John Lynch) is a normal dad, who loves his life, job and family. His philosophy for bringing up children is honesty at all times. They should be expected to ask whatever questions they like and get answers, no matter how embarrassing.

Unusual parents, you might think, given most squirm at the thought of explaining the birds and the bees. Their frankness backfires, however, when daughter Katie stumbles in on them making love and proceeds to tell her school all about it.

Her mother is asked to see the headmistress, who is concerned at the level of the girl's knowledge. Also, a picture that Katie drew of Eddie dressed up, is worrying. It emerges that, far from being normal, he is really quite loopy because when alone with the kids at bathtime, he plays a weird game pretending to be a mad old granny. Of course, it's innocent, but any mad old grannies out there might feel his ageist humour is giving them a bad press.

This being a drama involving the social services, it is assumed that he's not mad but a pervert. He is investigated and everyone naturally assumes he's guilty and life becomes very serious for Eddie.

The tone is too simplistic. The social services are stereotyped as the baddies - no mention of the good they occasionally do - and Eddie is painted as innocent from start to finish.

As a film, it is just about likeable, but social workers should be given more of a break next time.
