Living with Fran (2005)

In the whirlwind world of Fran Reeves, a vibrant Jewish divorcée, life takes an unexpected turn when she falls head over heels for Riley Douglas Martin, a charmingly rugged contractor half her age. This unlikely love story sets the stage for an unusual household dynamic, as Riley moves in with Fran and her two teenage children from her caustic ex-husband, Ted. The elder child, Joshua, is a shy medical school dropout, while the younger, Allison, is a fiery high-school girl with an attitude to match. Navigating their way through this unconventional domestic maze, they grapple with their places in this jigsaw of a household, which is anything but a typical family. The generational lines blur as Riley finds himself only a few years older than his stepchildren. He is more akin to an elder brother figure, yet he stands as the family's pillar. This unusual setup perplexes outsiders, and even the household members themselves, as they tread on the thin ice of shifting alliances and brewing animosities. In this chaotic yet fascinating blend of love, humor, and familial bonds, Living with Fran explores how, despite the odds, true love can flourish and family ties can be redefined in the most unexpected ways.

Living with Fran is a comedy show featuring Fran Drescher and created by Jamie Kennedy.
