...sending desperate emails to a scientist who may have the cure for what ails his blood work, hope briefly flares that this movie may turn into a genuine oddity: a realistically grounded action piece.

...curriculum, which covers serious subjects like shaken-baby syndrome and postpartum depression, for the most part steers clear of touchy-feely emoting. But to kick off the class, Dubin asks the men to describe the father figure they grew up with and the kind of dad they'd like to be.

But nearly all include a desire to attain the virtues of a decidedly modern man: patience, emotional availability, anger-management and communication skills, and open-mindedness...
