Lawrence "Larry" Valentine (Kevin James) and Charles "Chuck" Levine (Adam Sandler) are veteran FDNY firefighters. Chuck is a sexual deviant while Larry is a single father trying to raise a "tomboy" daughter Tori and an effeminate son Eric (Cole Morgen). Larry, being distracted by his sadness and obsession over his wife's death, fails to change the primary beneficiary of his pension from his wife to his children within the deadline. His only option is to marry someone, but he finds no woman whom he thinks can be trusted with the charge of his children.
