Romance is Dad
Mikey and Drew are away for a romantic weekend in a fancy hotel. The first weekend alone together since the birth of their two kids. A bag mix up puts a dampener on proceedings, so Drew, thinking on his feet, tries to come up with a way to keep the romance alive. A comedy of errors ensues.
