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.

George and Angie invite ex-gang member Marisol to stay with them, but trouble erupts when she becomes a role model for Carmen.

Carmen's first day of school turns upside down when George misdirects his worry and concern; Max develops a crush on an older woman.

George has to hide his concern when Ernie is made team leader at work; a cosmetics saleswoman (Hilary Duff) encourages Angie to lie to her clients.

When George and Angie run into financial trouble, Benny reaches out to the second wife of George's estranged father.
