The Altman siblings lose their father and go back to their childhood home for a week. Judd (Bateman) had just found out that his wife was cheating on him with his boss played by Dax Shepard. He is in a bad place when he gets word of the death of his father, and goes back home to spend a whole week living in his childhood home with his mother and siblings again. His sister Wendy (Fey), brothers Paul (Stoll) and Philip (Driver) are a little crazy put all together. Wendy is married to a complete jerk off named Barry and she has two kids with him, even though she is in love with the boy next door Horry (Olyphant) but he had an accident which left him brain damaged. Paul and his wife Annie are trying for a baby but even with all the treatments they have had no luck.
Philip is dating his therapist played by Connie Briton and it does not end well. He is a young playboy who just screws up all the time, and she is a put together older woman. The relationship goes south when Philip cheats on her with this girl he use to date, and she leaves him telling him that she needs a man and he is a child. Judd finds out that his soon to be ex-wife is pregnant with his daughter and he has to deal with that on top of his insane family problems, and his father's death. All these events do not really sound like they would be funny, but that is the talent of writing at its finest because it was pretty hilarious.
I recommend this movie, and suggest that you do not watch it if this kind of humor is not for you. There is that message of live everyday the way you want to live it, and be proud of who you are. I really enjoyed it and hope that if you watch it that you will like it as well. Thank you so much for reading.
