Flirting with Disaster

A comedy about sex, love, family and other accidents waiting to happen.

199693 min6.2 / 10

A high-energy road-trip farce that mines comedy from family dysfunction, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglement while maintaining genuine warmth beneath the chaos.

Adopted as a child, new father Mel Colpin decides he cannot name his son until he knows his birth parents, and determines to make a cross-country quest to find them. Accompanied by his wife, Nancy, and an inept yet gorgeous adoption agent, Tina, he departs on an epic road trip that quickly devolves into a farce of mistaken identities, wrong turns, and overzealous and love-struck ATF agents.
