Synopsis

A bumbling Chinese talent manager travels to Los Angeles to retrieve his singer who fled to elope mid-tour. Instead of retrieving his singer, his futile attempts land him an arranged marriage with five adopted kids and an angry boss demanding his investment back. In his quest to reclaim fame and fortune, papa learns an important lesson in what it means to be a family.[3]

The film follows a plot similar to a 2012 South Korean film, also named Papa.

Cast

gollark: It should at least be possible to find actual real-world data on whether it's growing or shrinking.
gollark: The real lesson is "random pithy quotes are meaningless and should not be used for decision making or anything similar".
gollark: It seems like one of those very general quotes which can apply to a ton of situations and will probably produce inaccurate results in most of them.
gollark: Troubling.
