From Sitcom Star to Reluctant Family Guide
Patrick O'Hara's carefully planned Mediterranean getaway crashes into family obligations when his brother Greg announces a whirlwind engagement to Livia, an Italian marchesa. The wedding at Lake Como is just four weeks away, and Greg needs help with a delicate situation: his teenage children Maisie and Grant are struggling to accept their father's remarriage, still processing their mother's death five years earlier. In a moment of impulsive generosity, Patrick offers to shepherd the kids through Europe before the wedding-a decision that will transform them all. The reunion at Heathrow reveals the depth of the children's resistance. Fifteen-year-old Maisie dismisses the marriage as "a sham" while twelve-year-old Grant retreats into his gaming console. When Grant tearfully admits that Patrick's ex-boyfriend Emory's absence still hurts-"It's like losing another person we loved"-Patrick recognizes their deeper pattern: fear of emotional investment followed by inevitable loss. As they board the Eurostar to Paris, Patrick proposes "The Great European Bargain." He'll share his personally developed "Guncle Love Languages" throughout their journey. If they still have legitimate objections to Livia by Italy, he'll advocate for them with Greg. The children agree, not realizing this bargain marks the beginning of their own journey toward healing.
