In this family comedy from the late '80s, we follow the misadventures of an overprotective father named Doug, who has dedicated his life to raising his three daughters. However, his quiet routine is shaken when his teenage daughter, Katie, transforms into a beautiful young woman who begins to attract the attention of boys. After a trip to a spa and a radical makeover, Katie gets ready for a big prom, which leaves Doug on high alert.
With his paternal instincts in overdrive, Doug tries to control every move his daughter makes and protect her from the boys who are interested in her. This is where the comic chaos comes into play: from disastrous dates and a series of ill-fated suitors to a carefree heartthrob who might lead Katie astray from the path her father has planned for her. As Doug attempts to cling to his role as a controlling father, he finds himself caught in a series of hilarious misunderstandings and embarrassing situations that push him to reevaluate his relationship with Katie and his own ability to let her grow.
The film not only explores the funny and often absurd challenges of parenthood but also delves into generational struggles, the love between father and daughter, and the inevitable process of letting go. All of this unfolds in an atmosphere filled with laughter and a distinctive '80s style.
