The protagonist was originally proud of both life and career, but after his wife gave birth to a daughter, everything changed. He threw the child to his father for work and caused his dissatisfaction. In desperation, he had to take the baby to the press conference. Changing diapers made him clumsy and messy, and because his daughter’s crying caused confusion, he verbally abused Will Smith in front of reporters and colleagues. He lost his job for this reason. The experience of seven years of obscurity and inability to set foot in the industry allowed him to establish a close and deep relationship with his daughter, until an excellent opportunity might bring him back to the long-awaited work stage again, but the strong opposition from his daughter and his perseverance Persistence created a gap between the two. Of course, at the end of the film, he gave up the opportunity to interview and rushed back to the town to participate in his daughter's drama performance, and staged a drama that everyone liked.
This old-fashioned story does not fall into the preaching gimmick, but creates a family relationship between father and daughter in a relaxed atmosphere. It is rare to get rid of the low-level interest of American comedy movies, and the details are more real and warm. Although the plot does not have ups and downs, what is interesting is that the story between father and daughter seems to interpret the allusion of "suffocating one's strength and losing one's horse, knowing not good fortune", but the expected conflict seems intriguing. The protagonist wanders and suffers between the trade-offs of gains and losses, and finally made up his mind to choose to concentrate on enjoying the days of having a daughter. "Because you are the only one for me." This concluding sentence reveals the indelible and irreplaceable status of family relationships. It is also a manifestation of the theme of the film. The daughter's interests are always at the forefront. This is the power of father's love. It is worth mentioning that Will Smith played himself in the film, but compared to a simple cutscene, his appearance in just a few minutes has a vital impact on the protagonist’s life. It seems to have affected his future life, but it seems unreasonable but natural. When talking about his children, Will Smith, who showed another side, made people see the happiness of being an ordinary father. Of course, as the heroine, the little girl is also very likable, and her skilled acting skills will inevitably make people optimistic about her future stardom, but as far as the film itself is concerned, I always feel that the title is a bit of a scratch. In fact, the father is between the daughter and the daughter. The struggle between personal ideals is the real topic.
