Falling from Grace

Rock star Bud Parks (John Mellencamp) and his wife Alice (Mariel Hemingway) return home to reconnect with his family. Most of them work for him. Old flame P. J. Parks (Kay Lenz) is married to Parker and having a fling with his father Speck. Family dysfunction abounds.

This is the acting and directorial debut of music star John Mellencamp. His acting is fine but he's not necessarily winning any awards. He could do well as a villain. His directing is a bit messy. He needs to do a better job introducing the family members. It's still pretty good for a first timer. The story has some solid dysfunctions. It's overall a good debut effort.
