Assembly-line worker and family man George (comic George Lopez) is promoted to manage an airplane parts factory in Los Angeles. George is clearly devoted to his wife, Angie, and their children, Max and Carmen, but his live-in, insensitive, difficult mother makes things complicated.

When George finally decides to approach his estranged father, Manny Lopez, his solitary journey is transformed into a family vacation and a day of reckoning for Benny.

George unknowingly commits a felony while awaiting President Bush's arrival at the factory, resulting in the Secret Service paying a visit to his home.

George is arrested for assaulting his father; Manny wants to clear the air so he drops the charges and George invites him over to dinner; on the same night Benny is bringing her younger boyfriend, Randy, over to meet George.

Angie learns that her parents are getting divorced; George gets nervous about his marriage when her social life improves.
