"The Ball's Moccasins company is cash poor, and character rich. Make that characters rich -- the oddballs and eccentrics that efficiency expert Erroll Wallace (Anthony Hopkins) meets when he comes to rescue the family-run enterprise. With his charts, stopwatch and clipboard at the ready, Wallace aims to streamline this, maximize that and turn the business around. But can a bunch of cuckoos run a factory like clockwork? And if Wallace is so crisply efficient, how come his homelife is such a mess? As this warmhearted laugh-getter reveals, the answers are not so much by the numbers as by the heart. 'A deliciously charming comedy!' – Susan Granger, WICC."--Container.
