His house is an eyesore and a disgusting crop of weeds is in possession of its lawn and backyard. The car he drives is more than two decades old. Its engine misbehaves, its rusted tailpipe belches horrible black exhaust, its tires are bald, and its body is scraped and dented. The house and car belong to Dudley Andrews.
Why does this intelligent, talented man live as if he is down to his on his luck?
The answer is divorce.
Yes, Dudley is burdened by all the alimony and child support he must pay.
Despite having to shoulder the responsibilities of caring for all of his ex-wives and a half-dozen children, he wants to marry again, this time to the mother of his most recent ex-wife. Some might call him an incurable romantic, others might consider him foolish, but whatever they think of his desire to marry again, no one can deny he's a charming, well-intentioned man.
Divorce isn't a funny subject, but Dudley has a sunny disposition, rarely broods, and continually generates plenty of humor and lots of laughs.
