Greg's debut - he went on to make Superbad, Adventureland and Keeping Up with the Joneses. Low budget New York movie has Hope Davis and her family following husband Stanley Tucci after discovering a mysterious letter - is he up to no good? The journey exposes the complex nature of the family's relationship with each other and an accompanying boyfriend (who seems to chum up to the Mum more than the GF). They are Pat McNamara, Anne Meara, Parker Posey and Liev Schreiber. With Campbell Scott and Doug McGrath. The performances are fine.
Has a sort of road movie / episodic feel, a bit like After Hours, for example in the scene where Davis goes to help a lady with a heavy bit of furniture and finds two sisters arguing about their late mother's possessions, or an unexpected host (Paul Herman) who happens to be a fugitive for not paying alimony.
Edited by Anne McCabe (I'm Not Rappaport, You Can Count On Me, Can You Ever Forgive Me? A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood), pleasing incidental guitar score Richard Martinez, DP John Inwood.
