Twenty years after making several donations to a sperm bank--using Fonzy as a pseudonym--Diego discovers he has fathered 533 children. The now 42-year-old fish deliveryman becomes embroiled in a legal battle when over a hundred of his children sue to identify their father.
Watch all of them back to back and it's the tiny details that start to become fascinating, like the way Fonzy's version of the climax is fractionally less sentimental, how lead Garcia is more sympathetic than Vaughn but less engaging than Starbuck's schlubby Patrick Huard.

What distinguishes Fonzy is its attention to Diego’s Galician roots. As his character discovers his offspring and his paternal instinct, Mr. Garcia gives the bedraggled but compassionate Diego an aspect slightly more emphatic than his screen forebears.
