50 million people used to watch him on TV. Now he washes their cars.
In the 1970s, Dickie Roberts (David Spade) held the keys to success as a child star with a hit TV series.

Desperate to revive his acting career, Dickie tries to audition for a role in Rob Reiner’s new movie but the director doesn’t believe Dickie is normal enough to play the part.
Determined to get the role, Dickie hires a “typical” family to give him the real-life upbringing he never had. But once Dickie moves in, the family’s life becomes anything but normal, as Dickie unleashes his wild inner child… and learns in the process some unforgettable lessons about fame, fortune and true family values.
