For a lighthearted comedy as this is described, the subjects are quite serious, a man sees his short intense relationship with his fiancée end up on the rocks because the introduction to his future mother-in-law does not exactly go smoothly, to put it mildly.

That's a kind of flashback by the way, because in the meantime he already has a new relationship, one in which he is getting married tomorrow.

But when he finds out that his ex has just given birth to a daughter and that she wants to give the child up for adoption, he more or less kidnaps the child.

His current girlfriend is pushed aside too easily as filler and that results in a strangely unbalanced film, it is strange to see how fathers were already seen at that time as people who actually had little right to their child, while mothers were already automatically considered to have the rights.
