On 'take your daughter to work' day, Joe Scheffer (Tim Allen) gets into an argument in the Car Park with the work bully, Mark McKinny. Mark hits Joe and embarrases him in front of his Daughter and workmates. After falling into depression, unable to face his daughter, Joe figures that if he challenge and beat Mark McKinny in a fight, his dignity will be regained. From the day of the challenge to the day of the fight, Joe becomes very popular and learns various lessons that life can throw at him, which includes falling in love after his divorce. Being taught by a local Karate Sensai, and having the backing of the local community, Joe prepares for the fight in an attempt to go from zero to hero.

With more than a million titles, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected one. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre and keywords to generate an automatic response. The system produces relevant results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches.
