Synopsis

Siblings, Jayne (Paker Posey) and Laura (Demi Moore), return to the home they grew up in to care for their aging and rather short tempered father, Joe (Rip Torn). Their tetchy father is far from easy to deal with and the sisters find themselves taking a closer look at their own not-so-perfect lives while avoiding childhood memories in this hilarious and touching comedy.

Written and directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein (TEETH).
