However, the situation only gets worse as a desperate man who had been contemplating a bank robbery robs the robbers and takes the man and the kids hostage in their van as his truck is blocked by an armored car.

This was such a funny movie! So the dad in this movie is a "work dad" always having important meetings & etc. But his wife is sick and can't drive that seems carpool, so what was supposed to be a 20 minute pick up the kids drop them of at school turns into a robbery/hostage chase with the most polite criminal ever. He (the robber) doesn't want to resort to robbery but he feels it's necessary when his business (a carnvial) is running out of money. All the kids end up thinking he really wants to be good but cant. And the dad just wants to go to his super important meetings and drop the kids off at school. It all works out in the end though, so you'll just have to watch the movie (😀) Good for a family night movie, jokes for everyone. Thanks for reading -Ajg15
