Goofs

The family is supposed to be in the area of Charlotte, North Carolina. Yet when Barry tries to retrieve his baggage from the airport and gets arrested and Keith ends up bailing him out, you can clearly see that they are actually at the Sumner County courthouse, which is in northern Tennessee, above Nashville.

Quotes

Barry Bergman: [on the phone] Look, the honest to God truth, I'm down here because my mother is dying. I want you to do this for her... Yeah, it's like her last wish, something she never had... Yeah, she really wants high-speed Internet access... No good she'll be dead by then. Is there some rush fee I can pay?

User Reviews

Wonderful dramedy

Saw this film at an exclusive NYC advance screening presented by Gen Art, with the writer/director present, and I gotta say: if you've ever lost a loved one, this film will have you nodding in remembrance. If you've yet to lose a loved one...it's a good primer on how to handle it.

Great performances all around, and I liked the way the film expertly balances comedy with drama. It's a fact of life that we all have to deal with this subject sometime...and a film like this deserves attention because it's one of the few to tackle a delicate subject with grace and humor.
