Laird invites Ned to go out for a walk and he ask Ned for his blessing to propose to Stephanie. Ned say no. Laird promises to win him over so that he can get his blessing, but he also asks to keep it a secret from everyone. Whole film Ned and Laird are quarreling and arguing and in the end Laird makes a marriage proposal and Stephanie says no, because she's just not ready to get married, but she still wants to continue dating Laird. Now, about my impressions A couple of funny jokes. A lot of vulgar jokes. They made funny trailer to lure people to the cinema. So, don't fall for it. You've been warned.
