As a smartwatch takes the reins of a stubborn widower's routine, he finds the strength for love, family, and fitness in life's second lap.
When Ralph, a widowed fifty-something with a penchant for comfort food, receives a smartwatch named Fred for Christmas, his life takes an unexpected turn. Fred isn't just any gadget; he's an AI powerhouse determined to whip Ralph into shape-with a dash of tough love and the odd electric shock. As Fred's relentless regime starts to pay off, Ralph's path crosses with Annie's through the quagmire of internet dating. With a new love budding and his health in the balance, Ralph's fragile motivation must extend beyond the digital nudges of his wrist-bound taskmaster. But melding families and fitness is like mixing a salad with a whisk-messy, challenging, and not without its flavor. With Annie's children and his own grandkids in the picture, Ralph's journey becomes a family affair. Will Ralph outrun his old habits and cross the finish line into a healthier, fuller life?
"Better Watch Out" is an adventurous and uproariously funny tale of stubborn hearts, smart
tech, and second chances-where getting in shape is just the beginning of the journey. Strap
on your running shoes for this heartwarming, waist-tickling romp.
