Papa (which means "Dad" or "Father") is a fun Chinese family movie from 2016. It's a mix of comedy and drama, sometimes called a "dramedy." The film was directed by Xiao Zheng.

The main actor in the movie is Xia Yu. This film was special because it was filmed entirely in the United States. The filming locations included the cities of Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Papa was released in movie theaters in China and the United States on the very same day.

What is Papa About?

The story of Papa follows a Chinese talent manager named Huang Bo Lun. He is a bit clumsy and travels to Los Angeles for an important task. His singer has run away to get married in the middle of a concert tour!

Instead of finding his singer, Huang Bo Lun gets into a lot of trouble. His attempts to get the singer back lead him to an unexpected situation. He ends up in an arranged marriage with five adopted children! On top of that, his boss is very angry and wants his money back.

As Huang Bo Lun tries to get his fame and money back, he learns a big lesson. He discovers what it truly means to be part of a family. The movie shows his journey as he learns to care for the children.
