Mr. Do has raised his kids to be good Catholics and to live up to his unrealistic expectations. His son Ty is abandoning pre-med to chase a less practical dream, while Linh is keeping her fiance’s background a secret. However, they aren’t the only ones with secrets in the Do family. It’s time Dad faces the truth that his kids have grown up.


Delightfully hilarious, yet mixed with great tenderness and humanism, ALL ABOUT DAD addresses the familiar theme of old world father vs. new world kids with deftness and originality. It’s a family portrait that’s sure to resonate with any family.
