Movie Background

Flirting with Disaster

An adopted man and new father named Mel Colpin resolves not to name his newborn son until he meets his birth parents, embarking on a cross-country quest to locate them. He is joined by his wife, Nancy, and Tina, an adoption agent who is both gorgeous and inept. Their epic road trip quickly spirals into a comic maelstrom of mistaken identities, wrong turns, and overzealous, love-struck ATF agents.
