The Courtship of Eddie's Father

Every boy needs a mother... even if Dad has to marry her!

1963120 min5.9 / 10

A warm, gently comedic family story about a precocious boy's matchmaking efforts to help his widowed father find love and rebuild their family.

Although he's only seven, Eddie's got it all figured out. He wants his father, a widower, to get remarried — to the girl next door. Unfortunately, she's not one of the women that his dad's been dating.
